rough country lift. I wanted small and they were the only ones left carring the 2.5 that I could find. it was around 4-500 with 6 upgraded shocks.
great highway manners and even with the sway bars still connected it went down the mojave trail and to some local mines.
loved the truck and that has been the 3rd bronco ive owned (also the nicest with the 5.8 and loaded)
only reason its gone is I wanted something the wife and I (+dogs) could take out and have some room.
so i have the dodge now (diesel 17mpg
)with a truck cap and soon (next year maybe ) have a FWC in the back.Here is another bad a** Bronco by Speed Unlimited.

What came with the kit exactly? Did it have drop brackets for the TTB? Springs/alignment bushings and that's it?

Well I got the 35's on.....Even though I knew I had to do some trimming It's still tight in there.
I think now I'm going to add some "leveling coils". I need to research what's available though because I don't want to buy coils that are the same height as stock but just compress less because they are so damn stiff.
I want something just a little softer than stock.
I'm looking forward to it....
As far as the low lift height but capable rig goes I found this and it's going to be one of my mods soon
$67 T-case clocking ring that'll work with a 1356 too. Clock the case up a bit so it tucks in the frame and a new skid.
A moderate boatside....(I hope to get this done this summer)

Doing this one this week. F-150 18 gallon tank. Hangs BARELY below the frame vs 6+" below the frame like the Bronco tank.
Not alot of info yet, but the tank will be here this coming week and will have done by next weekend.

Not sure of your mileage or mileage goals but mine is a minimum of 15mpg.....
With that in mind the F-150 tank offers a 270 mile range......With two 5 gal jerry cans that goes up to 420 miles. That's plenty of range for me. And in fact where most of my traveling and camping will happen the 270mile range is plenty.

I already had the alignment bushings in
it came with drop brackets and new coils. rear block and 6 shocks
I bought jeffs bronco graveyard HD stock rear springs and it matched the 2.5 lift in front perfectly.

I would keep the stock bronco tank. when I had the small lift on it was not an issue and with 30 gal I didnt need to really carry an extra gas tank

Thanks. I found that kit on E-bay for $180 with free shipping. Only includes drop brackets, coils, block and U-bolts but no shocks, and I don't see Radius arm drop brackets either. I need to double check what comes with it because I couldn't find the part number on Rough Country's website. FWIW that is the perfect kit as I would rather add some 5150 Bilstein's and long radius arms.
Like I said that's more than enough range for me..

Nice setup!
