Thinking about doing this.. 2.5in lift with 35s
This guy I know has a bronco.... It's sweet.. All it has is a 2.5in RC lift in the front, and stock in the rear sitting on 35s. He says they clear front and back great. ON STOCK WHEELS. I love the look. What do you guys think? I would be throwing this on a 93 4x4. I already know about bigger tires, and brakes, and gears, blah blah. Opinions greatly accepted! Haha

You might be able to get away with 33s but I wouldn't put on 35s. I think the 33s might even rub on stock wheels when you turn at full lock. I wouldn't want to limit how much I could turn. 15 years ago I wouldn't have cared though. You talking 10.50s?

My 33x12.50 m/t's rub pretty good on the radius arms, but I really like the stock wheels. Also will occasionally knick one corner of the bumper, although I'm sure I could adjust it out if I wanted. I've had no problems doing some mild off-roading... but I'm not sure I would feel comfortable going much bigger. That truck does look good with that set-up though.

Yes, I just have leveling springs. I like the look of 35's, but I use my truck as a truck. Getting too high up makes things harder to load and unload. I also didn't want the extra expense of re-gearing. I can get by the way it is, but if I had gone up any more in tire size, I'd definitely have to have lower gears.

I have a 2.5 RC Lift on my 1995 F-150, and I have 33x12.50 BFG AT's on my stock Ford Rims. And they do rub at full turn, but like Broncojunkie said it's not so bad that it's intolerable. But I wouldn't in no way put 35's on with just a 2.5 lift up front. But I'm no spring chicken anymore either.
