Bronco ii lift kit questions

Post by BroncoKen »

Hey all. I am experienced with my bronco but not with lift kits. I was wondering I am looking at a 4" Rough country suspension lift with new leaf springs. If I do the recommened explorer rear end swap will the same bronco 2 lift kit work? thanks :confused:

Now i know that a 91-93 explorer is the best fit, but how much actual fabrication is needed to swap out the axles, do I have to do any cutting/welding? or can I just throw them under there and use the existing mounts?
