b2 lift

[will.moyer]

alright ive heard from friends who have b2s that i can take explorer and jeep parts to lift my b2 although none of them did that so if anybody can help me with the list of parts and vehicles i could possibly pull them off of that would be awesome

Don't forget about F-150s and 1500 Silverados and Sierras.

It depends on what you're trying to do. I've got f250, explorer, early bronco, and jeep stuff all on my B2!

Mine's about 10" over stock. Look through a few build threads, there's plenty of cool stuff to read through.

Your best bet is a washer lift, Explorer leaf springs, and a body lift. Or buy an off the shelf lift kit.

We may repurpose other parts, most of the time they are new parts, and the price and build times add up significantly.

Yeah, I pieced together my front lift... but it wasn't cheaper than a basic lift, but it is better.

f250 shock towers
3.5" Early Bronco Lift Coils
Homemade extended Radius arms
VMS Drop Bracket, Homemade Drop bracket on the other side
Jeep JKS quick disconnects on the sway bar
etc.... it's all in my build thread, start on page 123

ok since im starting to accumulate the parts for the lift i was getting ready to buy tires and put them on, is it possible to run a 90 b2 on 31s with stock suspension and no nobody lift i cant seem to find the answer because im running 30s right now but i have money to get new tires and im trying to start the build

I'm gonna say no.... I didn't try it. Probably depends on flex.

31s rub with the steering turned to full lock on my stock '85

They'd fit, kinda. On stock wheels. A quick and cheap 1"-1.5" washer lift would really help. But don't expect it not to rub the radius arms when turning, or the fenders when stuffed.

thats what i was wondering if i would rub and if i would have issues when i have flex but thanks on the washer lift i never even though about that

so question my buddy bought some super lift shocks he isnt going to use since he pulled the some skyjackers off of his dads ranger, hes going to give me all the bushing and every thing that it came with for the front, i havent ever seen super lift stuff and just wondering the integrity of it off road and everything he says itll give me at most 2in of lift in the front but im really wondering about eh quality of them?

Superlift stuff is fine.

Shocks won't give you lift. The +2 means it's made for a 2" lift setup. It's 2" longer than a stock shock.

well yeah but it came with a 2in body lift for some reason

 

[4.0B2]

body lift doesn't change your suspension geometry.. therefore, you don't need longer shocks

 

[will.moyer]

gotcha

ok soooo i went to the junkyard and really had a hard time dealing with some of the people and i said screw it... first question rough country 4in good? bad? what i dont know anybody who runs it and only off roading i do right now is mud on the farm waiting till im done with school to go to uwharrie but anyways how does rough country match up against everything else is it worth it or am i just wasting my money?

RC for the money is alright.. IF you order RC, call RC directly in Dyersburg and order straight from them.

depends on what you want really. Just room for some larger tires, do it.
suspension travel, ride quality, etc... don't do RC.

I ran a RC for awhile and didn't really complain about it.. I just wanted more travel and a little softer ride.


Honestly if I was to do it all over again, I would just piece a lift together myself in the beginning....
EB coils, custom long arms, longer shocks, etc.... but you'll end up with more money in it than RC, but you'll have a better lift.

The RC lift is a great economically priced lift. The only downfall is the potential of knocking a hole in the top of your pumpkin. The plate style drop bracket for the PS arm will contact the diff, if the bumpstop isn't properly set-up.

All you have to do is cycle the suspension without the coil and shock, make sure it hits the bumpstop with an inch of clearance above the diff.

yeah right now its for bigger tires and later on ill start changing pieces over to super lift and plus next year ill be at norfolk state university and well i dont think they know what mud is haha and right now ride quality wont change between my sagging coils and rusted shocks and a crack in my leaf spring sooo i feel like it would be an upgrade… but i would wait on the trail riding as i have heard that rc is only truely useable for mud or beach riding
