i have a 1984 bronco II and want to add a 4" suspension lift kit but have been told by several people i should just break my legs and back and save my money then i would still have a truck are they really more of a rollover risk and would a roll cage be much of any help

ive got a 90bii with a 4in suspension and 3in body and there is a difference in how the truck handles but it isnt as top heavy as everyone told me it would be. i dont really notice it too much mainly because bronco ii's arent racecars so i dont drive mine like it is. my main problem is braking, the stock brakes just dont have the power to stop my 33x12.5's, so i spy a upgrade in the not so distant furture. i think as long as you use caution and drive like you have a brain then you should have no problems. I hope that was of some help

thanks man i want the lift just to make the truck stick out and your right about them not being race cars mines a 4 speed and love the power in low gears but once at 55-60 i have no power suck as acceleraton from there and sure lift will affect that speed to what have you noticed about power to the bigger wheels

It should also be pointed out that it is NEVER a bad idea to look out for your saftey and a good cage is always a nice thing to have in a truck.

OK i have a 3" body lift .. 3" suspention lift and 11.5 tires with normal offset. i have a 4.0 conversion in mine so it has NO problem laying the gadge right over. no sway bars. it leans a little taking hard turns at 50+ BUT NO were near rollover. these are not toyota's that'll lift a tire at 25.

if someone told me that it's going to roll with just a 4" lift i'd say "you need to ditch ur yota"

yes u should exersice caution and it will handle diffrent but not anything to worry about just expect it to handle diffrent.
