About this kit
Give your 78-79 Ford Bronco an aggressive look from front to rear with Rough Country’s 2.5" Ford Suspension Lift Kit! This easy-to-install leveling kit raises the front of your vehicle to be equal height with the rear for a leveled, flush look that gives a better ride height and more aggressive appearance. This kit features a set of front, durable coil springs allowing you gain additional ride height without sacrificing ride quality or performance. A set of 4 degree c-bushings and track bar drop bracket are provided to keep everything at optimum angles for a factory-like ride, even after lifting. Our fabricated rear blocks offer considerably more strength than their cast iron counterparts. A set of Rough Country's premium N3 shocks are also included in this kit. These fine tuned 10-stage variable high-pressure Nitrogen charged shocks offer a fantastic blend of off-road action and smooth highway ride quality. With a durable 18mm spring-loaded piston rod and faster-cooling 54mm shock body. Get the wheels you want! Rough Country's 2.5" Ford Suspension Lift Kit comes with everything you need to fit up to a 33" tire with proper wheel backspacing.
