Thoughts on Body Lifts with the broncos IFS

[Snacktime]

@BigMeatsBronco 1/2" body lift fixes the issues with factory and aftermarket bumpers. If you flex your Bronco out just right the bottom of the swing gate hits the bumper. It gets worse when you put a metal bumper on as the paint comes off vs the plastic bumper topper.

I have a 1" body lift on mine. I think the best result of doing that was the clearance between the tailgate and the bumper.

I’ve run body lifts on several different vehicles one of which was in a high speed rollover at 80+mph. Everything hung together just fine.

If you’re the type of person who shows up at the trail (or the forums for that matter) and likes to flex on everyone with $10k in lift parts to fit the same tires as someone else did for a couple hundred bucks then a body lift probably ain’t for you. But if you hit your local off-road areas you’ll find every “bad idea” working for someone. Do what’s in your budget and don’t worry about it, if it works for you and if it’s relatively safe.

For me, I’m not keen on hacking out a crossmember to run 40s as I’m not sure how long I’m going to keep this thing and when selling I know 40s ain’t for everyone. So I’ll spend a couple hundred bucks on a body lift, spend 30 minutes to install and run 40s at the mall or wherever I want. I might even flex on those running 37s with 10k in suspension parts.

I want to do 1.5” body lift and take some preload out of my Icons to keep them super happy. Has anyone done a custom bracket for 1.5”? Running ADD bumper in the front and stock metal in the back.

I’d like to have 1” to clear my 40’s from ripping my raptor flares off
Looks like ranger bolts
Then trim them down a bit

this has 3” perch collers on the factory shocks
