Bronco height

Postby Broncoguy73 » Wed Jan 07, 2015 9:05 am

Hey guy random question here. I just moved into a new house and the garage door is super low. I was wanting to see how tall everyone's rig is. I want to mive the garage door up but so I want to see how much I may need to go. My bronco has nothing higher than the bed rails and its on pizza cuters just to move it around. I'm looking for something on 35s and a 4-5inch lift. Thanks

How low is low? I posted this exact question up a year or two ago but wasn't able to find it. There's also several threads over on CB.com where people have posted up their measurements (of their rigs...)

Just found that stock height is 71.6" so I'm screwed with 35s and 5inch lift. I don't even know if letting the air out of the tires would get me to fit.

I don't think that stock height measurement is correct. I "think" I am right at 74" on my bronco with about 4"of lift and 37s. I would go and measure but I'm in New Jersey currently for work.

Agreed, you should be OK. I was at 3.5" SL and 2" BL on 35's and (i think) a 74" door. I cleared it by about 1/2" with the top up and had a couple of inches with it off.

So. I had this issue when I put my 42's on. It's amazing what you can do with some ratchet straps around the bumper and the axle. Lowered mine a few inches to get in and out of garage before I built my shop.
