question bout lifting and putting bigger sized tires on a Bronco 2

[DustyClark87]

I have a pretty much all stock '89 Bronco 2, want to get a 3 or 4 inch body lift first of all and then I was wondering how big of tires I could get without rubbing issues? I know I could probably get 31's on but would 32's be pushing it? I dont take it hardcore off roading or anything, just a daily driver occasionally take it on a few trails. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

31's would be good 32's might be a little tight.

and honestly, i wouldnt go any bigger then 33's on are weak d28 front axles, they break pretty easy.

yeah 32x10.50's were all the bigger i wanted to go, i wasnt gonna try 33's, dont wanna do any fender trimming though

i personaly run 31x10.5's with a 3" BL and some finder trimming but the trimming is due to the springs being flat. i ran 33x12.5's on my 86 with a 3" BL but i had to trim the fenders on it because they would rub on the very bottem corners of the fenders when turning. so depending on the condition of your springs and the width of the tires along with the back spacing of the wheels it could work out. and fyi ive never had any troubles with the d28 when running the 33's, i did manage to blow up my 7.5 however.

there is no such thing as a 4 in body lift unless u ghetto fab one i had a 3 in body lift on my ranger alot of bad trouble came with . just get a lift or sas it

you should be fine to run 32's with a 3" body lift. just be sure to get everything tight. then re check/tighten everything after putting some miles on it.

what size wheels are you going to run? what kind of back spacing. that will all depend on if you have to do some trimming to? whats your gear ratio?

 

[DustyClark87]

I have 235's on it now, will the 31's make a huge difference in MPG you think?

 

[jims89broncoII]

not a huge difference but you could probably tell a little. whats your gear ratio?

Its directly west 2 hours, Harrisburg is about exactly in the middle. Kinda close to the Altoona/State College area only closer.

look in the tech library there is a chart there that will help you to identify what ratio is in your axles.

32's should work fine depending on the rim width and backspacing
