I've been trying to figure this out a couple of years now. My Bronco looks to high in the rear. I measured the distance from the rear axle to the rubber stop and it is 6.24 inches. I know the axle is not stock, not sure about the springs. Otherwise it is stock with 31 x 10.50's. It is a daily driver not much off roading.
Check out my picture & tell me what you think. :banghead

I've been trying to figure this out a couple of years now. My Bronco looks too
high in the rear. I measured the distance from the rear axle to the rubber stop
and it is 6.24 inches.

Cool picture.

Mine is pretty much stock and it measures 5" and it looks nice and square with
the world.

I've got two-steps-stiffer Ford springs on the front but that didn't raise it much.
They might have raised the front "ride height" (as Ford calls it) by about 1/4"?

Ride height:

(that's my '75 F150 I special ordered when I was 21

ps "lift kits" phooey. My ride height is 232+1/4". Beat that.

It looks like mine is 2-3 inches to high in the rear. The only thing I can come up with is the springs. I have measured several Broncos and mine sits higher than all of them.

That pack of leaf springs don't look like my Bronco's.
Looks like my '90 F250 (>8500#) parts truck spring.
The '91 F150 has narrower springs not 3" like the '91
Bronco and '90 F250 have... so those wouldn't have
been an easy swap?

Thanks Alvin. I will be looking for some more springs in the local jy. Do you know if the springs from a f150 are the same as bronco's

for the 80-96 f150s
2.5" wide for 2wd trucks and
3.0" wide for 4wd

pretty sure lengths are all the same for f150-350
