Sorry guys I'm sure this has been beat on pretty good. I searched all over for pics for both but can't really make a good comparison . I have a WH 1in nice kit but I need a lil more . I still have a stock rear bumper so wanted to see how that will look

Why don't you raise your bumpers to get rid of the gap, and make it look a little more natural? I did a 1" body lift, and couldn't stand even that much of a gap

I'm not big on the gap either I have a 1 in and every now and then it would rub my fender .... Well a lil rub on a steel fender no big deal but I have a glass front clip and it cracked the bottom of the fender. So before I completly trash the fender a body lift would be the easiest way to go

So easy to fix the gap in the back, still working on something for the front.

It depends on what bumpers you use. 2" BL with Hanson bumpers. The front is height adjustable and the rear bumper gap is hidden by the swing aways. I love the 2" BL for working on my Bronco as well as the rock clearance, and if done right can look great.

2 or 3 inch lift

Tiko433,
are you still interested in the wheels I put on my 66 Bronco? They are Dick Cepek Torque wheels 16 x 8 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern and 4.5 in back spacing. the tire are Cooper discover AT3 265x70r16. they are 30 or 31 inches high i can't remember for sure.
if you are looking hope tht helps. they were about 140 each.
Jerry

Best picture I have but that's a 2" body lift. With factory bumpers I agree it looks goofy but if you can make or have a bumper made for the body lift it looks fine. Makes it nice to work on with the extra space under the hood and what not. I started with 1" body lift then I'm at 2 now. Prolly going to end up at 3" because i need more room under the hood. That and I'm about to get much bigger tires.

I agree about the 2" bl with stock bumpers looks a little funny.
ProtoFab did a good job with their bumpers with the 2" bl option.
