about time i got my bronco ii lifted about 2in in front and 3in in back
thanks to tfpets and his bro i got this done we got some explore progresive springs that have a stiffer spring rate and added some washers underneath it to get the full 2in and blocked the rear and took out the rear sway bar and relocated the shock mounts up and out of harms way and to add the lost 3in of shock travil looks alot better and now i might not get stuck in the snow as much

so you did exporer coils in front? any radius arm drop brackets or anything? sounds cool man, I loved my little b2. I wish I would have done more to it like removing the swaybar etc. I beat the heck outta that thing. got any pics of it lifted?

We didnt get any pics of it after it was done but I am sure we will tomorrow on our snow run...from the research we did, we decided that 2 1/2 inches of lift up front would be safe without drop brackets...but in the end it is probably only lifted around 1 1/2 inches from stock but because his springs were sagging so bad it was actually close to 3 inches in the front from where he was sitting...we looked at several options at the junkyard when we were looking for springs but all of them looked too thick and stiff compared to the originals...then we came across a couple of exporers with progressive rate springs and thought and hoped they would work well for what we were wanting...after we got them in they lifted it a bit and it rode and flexed great but after the 3" blocks in the rear it still neaded just a bit more in the front so we added some spacers made from 1 1/4" washers welded together and they worked out perfect...so we will see how it does tommorow!! :thumbsup:
