LUBER BRONCO

[HorseMan]

I WAS GOING TO BUILD A LUBER BRONCO, AND WAS WONDERING THE BEST WAY TO LIFT IT? 2 1/2, 3 1/2? I LIKE THE LOOK OF 31 10.5, BUT REALLY WOULD GO FOR THE 30 9.5. OTHER OPTION TAKE THE DEAVER 3 1/2 LIFTOF THE RED BRONCO AND PUT ON 5 1/2? BUT IT JUST NOW BARLEY SQUEZE IN THE GARAGE.

The 3.5" SL and 1-2" BL is the most popular combo for lifts. That way you can run uncut or cut, skinny tires, wide tires, etc. Just a good all around height. Check out pics of Zilla's Ketchup build. I have a 5.5" SL and 1" BL and running into the same garage height issues. That reminds me - I need to move my axle back 1" this winter.

Before I cut mine, I had a 3.5" lift & 31x10.5s on it. I was able to wheel it without rubbing by folding the lip inside the fender opening up flat against the fender its self. I never got into anything too terribly hairy, but it was enough that I could still get full flex on that particular lift without causing fender damage.

Entourage, That's the SL lift I am doing on my 76 with a 1" BL. I am still in bodywork mode now. How do you plan on relocating the rear axle? I will probably need to do that also since I am replacing the rear lower quarters and going to the uncut style.

Thanks

Zilla is the first person I heard moving the rear axle back 1". There is a write up here on the site. Moving the axle back should help your tires from hitting the front of the Rear Fender. Sounds like you need to post up some pics of your build - excited to see how things are going.
