Ok so im sitting here asking what is wrong with my brain and vision.

[dragonnuts]

So if just got done with my build, after posting on here different pieces I bought what I was planning on doing, to getting different opinions and advice, a few negative remarks but I see that is very common in here. The problem I'm having is, I actually like the result I have and I know I'm not supposed too. So I did a 3in lift in the front with the 987-62-000 fox shocks, I changed out the upper control arms, with whiteline upper control arms, i was gonna just add tie rod sleeves but I was told not to do that because it will fuck up the whole tie rod, so I replaced the whole tie rod kit with icon tie rods. The rear I did just a 1.5in spacer, I thought it was gonna be a 2in spacer like it said on the site, but that's another story. And I replaced the track bar. And I some diff cover or something like that installed, im not a mechanic, and this is my first offroad vehicle, and I used everything that sounded somewhat intelligent from multiple forums. After myself and my brother inlay did the build and tgan took it to discount tire to have my tires, wheels balanced and aligned, the front end was a higher than the front. My brother inlay said it is going to level down some when you drive it a little more, which it did, but the front is still about an 1in higher, not quite but close. So I ordered a different set of spacers that are 2.5in in the rear to adjust th the difference. Here lies my problem, I actually like the way it looks, and I know its not supposed to be that way, but honestly it looks like a beast that way. Pictures dont do it justice. So my question is how bad will ot fuck my bronco up if I ride like that for a little while

If it is properly aligned it won’t “hurt” anything…if ya like the look who cares what others think…after all it is a 4dr so it is ugly anyway…

Good thing it's a 4 door. If it were a stumpy little 2 door rocking the Carolina Squat it would probably backflip if you happen to hit a pebble

You'll be fine to drive as long as you want. If you did 3" in the front you'll need to do 3" on the rear to get it level. If you do go up to 3" on the rear I'd recommend a rear trac bar relocation bracket.

I did i replaced it with the icon tubular track bat

The front is a little lower now that it settled, but it is still a little higher.

Just the trac bar? I'm referring to a relocation bracket for the trac bar...it relocates the position of the bar relative to the rear axle. When you get up to 2" or more of lift the trac bar will pull the axle off center and cause bump steer issues...the relocation bracket will correct this. You want the trac bar to be level with (or as close as possible) the axle.

Also if I do raise the rear should I replace the rear lower control arms.

The rear upper and lower control arms should be fine if your staying 3" or less.

Your driveway seems to be on an incline..... have you checked it on level ground?

I used the icon tubular adjustable track bar, part number 45200T

No that's probably a good idea lol
