After hours of reading, I would like someone to review my suspension idea and make sure I am not leaving anything out. Would the following combo be acceptable and would I be able to get it within acceptable alignment:

1987 Bronco II 4x4
Explorer coils with 1.5" - 2" coil spacer
Explorer leaf springs with Belltech 6400 / Autozone 6100 shackles
New shocks

The main use out of this suspension would be to be slightly raised, street use, and occasional old logging trail roads.

I did just a 2" coil spacer up front and needed the alignment bushings with the most range and even that left it steering like a grocery cart. Adding adjustable radius arm bushing brought it to where it feels stable.

If I was to go any more than what I have I'd get a lift kit with the TTB drop brackets and a drop pitman arm.
