Hey guys,
Just signed up and wanted to say hi. (and also ask some questions).
Been scouring the site relentlessly while I mess with my new B2.
Here's a pic of my new purchase:
I believe it has a 3" lift on it. I'm new to off-road SUVs (usually stick to motorcycles). I measured the rear blocks and they're 2.75 (guessing 3 under load)
After driving it for a couple of weeks, I think I want to do away with the lift.. it handles like a boat on stormy waters on the road. 95% of my use will be on roads so it will start to get to me. Was considering doing some serious suspension upgrades and leaving the height but I don't think I'll get it where I want it for on-road (it's also a chore for my dogs to get in and out of!)
I also know these things have a higher center of gravity as it is. It currently has 31s on it and cut front fenders so I'm hoping it'll be fine at stock height. (?)
I was looking for other Broncos that appeared to have stock heights that looked pretty clean.. found this one.
Here's the details.

Can anyone tell me if that's stock height and what tire size? it says in the details it's a custom frame. I'd be happy if I could get mine to sit like that.
Thanks all.
