Questions About A 6" Lift

[Bronco Joe]

I plan to put a 6 inch lift on my 82 bronco. For the rear, I plan to use superlift's 3-3.5" add-a-leaf (Item # 33560) with superlift's 3 inch block kit with U-Bolts (Item # 33310). I was wondering if the U-bolts with the block kit will work or will I need longer ones because of the add-a-leaf? I'm also concerned about the angle. I know the blocks are tapered to align the drive shaft, but will it be thrown off because of the add-a-leaf? Will I need to lengthen my drive shaft if Im only lifting it 6 inches? For the front I already have the coil springs and the drop pitman arm. What front bracket kit (if any) will I need to install the lift on the front? I know some lift kits come with extended radius arms and some do not. What are the advantages of using them or the disadvantages of not using them? I know Ill need extended brake lines and new shocks, but if you guys can tell me what else I might need please let me know. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. :huh:

Wow, ok 6 inches total in the back? Are your fronts 8 inches? Most TTB ford lift kits have 2 inches more lift in the front than in the back. Say you order a skyjacker 6 inch lift for your bronco, you get a 6 inch spring for the front, and 4 inches for the rear. Something to think about. IF you do go with 6 inches in the back, you will need a new driveshaft. Stock one works with 4 inches *6 in kit*.
As far as brackets, that'll be tricky. You need the dropdown brackets to replace the factory brackets that hold the front TTB to the frame. Not sure who sells that separately.

Me, I would use 6 in coils in the front, use your rear add-a-leaf. If that comes up a bit short, go to a junkyard and pull those one inch blocks off a factory pickup truck rear axle, with the built in bumpstops. That'll get you level.

Or do a shackle flip on the back, and forget abot blocks and AAL's
