Makes me miss my old 78 Bronco. Mine was on 42 with 5" and sat about like that. Miss the 460 too.

The bronco has 9" of lift in it. It's actually not THAT high, just the tires make it seem so high. The suspension actually works pretty good it's all done right. He's putting a slightly smaller tire on it and cutting the fenders so it works. Originally Posted by Scotty16

Dana 60s front and rear, healthy 460, c6, np205.

44s. He's in love with 79s. The 44s are going on his 79 150 mud truck which has the same drivetrain but only 6" lift and boatsided. The Bronco is the street/trail rig and a 79 250 with a 12v cummins for a tow rig.Originally Posted by SHANE 87
the guy with the bronco went overkill in my opinion What sizetires does he have on it?

My buddy used to have one of these Broncos with the 460 in it that he did a bunch of motor work to...... What an animal. He had 49" Iroks on it and still ate up sports cars on the street. Who cares about fuel mileage when you've got that much power?

Yea, my son's 79 has a built 540 in it running 44s and is amazing in sand. It is like seeing a Sahara sand storm, like in the movies. ( Scary fast! )

everyone says its to big and useless...
but in reality it is a full size and out cherokee is a station wagon and rather small.
it is pretty well build from the picture and I bet it would wheel great.
Search around pirate for a bit lol.

here's how to make your xj look large - 1-ton axles & 40" tires with about 8" of lift, stretch the wheelbase about 6", and cut the fenders out to fit...

eh, might as well pull out the big guns with a local truck.
pretty much makes anything short of a monster truck look small.
those are 72" tires btw.
