since the shock mounting location doesn’t change max droop doesn’t change…of course that assumes stock shock travel/length which is not true with the different aftermarket coilovers with icon and king pushing the droop limits…and fox being pretty conservative…
it is all about max droop…while at ride height the angles increase the same amount but a spacer will lower the shock/coilover allowing the axle to droop more than stock and put the cv angle out of spec…generally a 2” spacer lift is the limit on a bronco
I‘m no help but went with an expensive JCR aluminum vanguard bumper because of light weight, cooling vents & hi lift slots….I have been happy with it but there are many more options now…tricky dick doesn’t sell his reinforcement anymore but it has done it’s thing on many occasions…good luck!
Ok that is correct but a different explanation (ride height vs max droop/compression)…as long as coilover stroke up/down remains constant…I will also go out a limb and say less than a 2” spacer lift on a bronco keeps the cv in the “safe“ (non binding) zone at full droop…party on!
Nice post and I totally agree with most all of it…except your statement “spring”/coilover lift “ Makes the body ride higher, but your pumpkin and suspension mounts are still going to be in the same place. No effect on axle angles.”
not only does to raise the body but also the frame and the...
