Alright, I am new..so, this has probably been covered a lot, but I have a '93 Bronco...looking to lift her 3-4" and run 33's with 15x10's. What is everyone running for a lift? Any opinions on Tuff-Country, Superlift, or Skyjacker? I am probably gonna spring for extended radius arms too...Mostly, just looking for opinions on who likes what and why...
also, I have front and rear sway bars...should I retain em? how?
Oh, and who does everyone deal with for parts..I am putting it in myself with a friend who has a shop..(he has done them before) thanks!

From what I've learned from some of the other Bronco guys is it really depends on who you ask. But I think I can sum it up by saying: Dick Cepek lifts are probably at the top of the list as far as quality. BDS lifts are very good followed by Rancho, Skyjacker and Superlift. I've seen some guys bash a certain manufacturer's lift only to be followed by an owner of that particular lift saying how much they like it and how good of quality it is. To make a long story short, I'll probably get a Dick Cepek or Skyjacker lift when I lift my Bronco.

Cepek are great lifts but seeing as they are out of business it may be difficult to obtain warranty service. I would get a Rancho. I have installed 10 or more of these and they are top of the line. Superlift are good too but the radius arms are not as good as Ranchos. Definately get the arms. The other kits are good but we never did many of them because we allways thought Rancho to be the best. As far as sway bars go. I would take the front one out. It is a terrible design and when lifted it's even worse. If you get Rancho 9000's for shocks and crank them to five you won't even know you took it out. The back one could go too but I left mine in. No reason really other than I never had a good reason to take it out.
