Default LIFT????

I am a high school student just paid parents off for parts, and now its time for a lift!! My brother has some good 33s he took off when he got his lift on his bronco he got 35s. I want a lift that will fit his old 33's I know i will need wheel spacers, bc they are wide. I was thinking about a 4.5 inch zone or possible rough country. Need something good at a fair price. Any ideas?

Do you think I could get fenderflairs if I can find them at the right price. Or would spring spacers and bigger shackels be cheaper?

Its better to go with a lift greater than 4.5 for you to get rid of rubbing problems... Much better than using spacers...

So would 32s be the biggest I could go with a 4.5 bc I got 30s or 31s stock.

im not sure what drugs ur on but i want some lol

iv got 35s on a 4.5 inch lift, i did cut my fenders but 4.5 inch lift should be fine with 33s, thats the set up my friend has on his and it only rubs when hes turning and a tire is fully stuffed.

I say if you are on a budget go with a 4.5 and just trim the fenders a little bit.

The best thing you can do is try to piece your lift together with 600 hundred you'll easily get a six inch

How hard is it to trim fenders. Could I remove the fender flairs?

Ya, I can fit 33's with some cutting and a 3.5in re kit so thats a little much....Lifting it more causes more geometry changes and costs more money......
