Depending on what type of driving you do with your Bronco, this is a question that needs to be answered.

1. Does Your Bronco Get Driven Everyday?Just going to work, the grocery store, or cruis'n around, most people who drive their Broncos daily don't lift them too much if they lift them at all. It's kinda hard to determine how much money you want to put into these trucks especially now that the gas prices are raising sky high! If you've got the money and are happy with your truck being on tires the size of 33's up to 44's then the more power to ya!

2.Are You a Rock Climber? Serious rock climbers need as much articulation as they can get. Looking for maximum flex with minimal on-pavement compromises is sometimes hard to get. Building the perfect rockcrawler is the eternal goal of many four-wheelers. Those who get bit by the rockcrawling bug constantly change components to be just a little better than the next guy. Short wheelbase is the best for rockcrawling. Build a Jeep, a Land Cruiser, a Bronco, or something short with solid axles. That isn't to say you can't build a fullsize crawler, but it's life span will be much shorter than that of a smaller vehicle. Lifting a tire in the rocks isn't an uncommon occurance, even with a flexy suspension. To keep moving forward in situations like this, lockers front and rear are needed. Leave the limited slips and open differentials for the pavement pounders. Also, to keep the engine running when tilted, consider fuel injection or a modified carburetor. Sometimes lower gears tend to have weak pinions. To combat this, heavy duty axles such as Dana 60's may be necessary. Heavier axles also have larger shafts and U-joints to prevent breakage. As far as tie rods go, build'em big or get'em out of the way. Tires in the 35 inch and up range have become popular. They give more clearance under the axles, but in order to prevent breakage, larger axles need to be used, which eats up some of that extra ground clearance. As an alternative to replacing the gears in the axles with lower ratios, add-on transfer cases as well as replacement low-range gears are available for serveral types of cases. Swapping in a transmission with a granny gear is also a good option. A combination of these would be a great way to go. Again don't get too carried away. A crawl ratio over 100:1 is probably a little too much and can scatter driveline components.

3.Do You Like Playing In The Sand? When building or modifying your rig for use in the dunes, keep it light and low to the ground, and add lots of horsepower. Airing down tires is also important in the dunes. Tires run at low pressure have larger footprints, which allows them to provide more floatation and traction. Lots of ground clearance isn't important, but floatation is, so stay away from tall tires and run the widest possible tire. Keeping your sand rig low to the earth by avoiding tall tires and big lifts will make for less roll-over potential. Full-size Broncos have better weight distribution than pickups, which makes it easier for them to find traction. If you run in hard packed sand, open diffs will work just fine. However, the majority of dunes consist of soft, wind-blown sand. Running a locker, at least in the rear, will provide loads more traction and will give you the ability to climb steep dunes and go places the lockerless people can't. Just like in mud running, horsepower is your best friend in the sand. Embrace it and get ready to spend lots of quality time with it. Horsepower, and loads of it, is what spins those tires and gets you to the top of that monster razor back that nobody else can climb. As in any form of four-wheeling, it is a good idea to have a well built roll-cage. This is even more the case in sand, as high speeds and steep dunes can easily lead to disaster. Invest the time and money into building a stout' cage for your Bronco.
