I am about to trash my 86 Ford Bronco but recently put some nice 31s on it and want to be able to use them so I've decided to go quick with a BB 2" lift and swap the 225s with the 31s....however... can I reuse the stock height shocks with the 2" BB lift?

Yes, but they're going to be almost-maxed out. I think I had a whopping inch of travel left on mine after putting my BB on.

I wonder if the Rancho RS5000s from my bronco can swap over...I know the front would need those adaptors but the rear are standard mount right? I wonder how the lengths compair......hmmm

Hope your planning on trimming because 31X10.50s will rub if you flex at all with only 2"of lift.

I hope the 2" will get me by on the street until I can get a 3 1/2" lift....and I got a year or wear on the 31s
