Built for 1978–1979 Ford Bronco owners who want a level stance and aggressive look without losing ride quality, this 2.5" leveling kit raises the front to match the rear, giving you a flush profile and up to 33" tire clearance with proper wheel backspacing. The kit preserves factory-like geometry with caster-correcting C-bushings and a track bar drop bracket, so you get the height you want without handling penalty.

Installed and serviced at Road Runner Wheels & Tires. Most leveling kits go in the same day. Call (678) 400-6467 to schedule.

What's included

  • 2.5" lifted coil springs — front-end height increase with maintained ride quality.
  • N3 shock pair (qty 2) — premium 10-stage variable high-pressure nitrogen-charged shocks with 18mm spring-loaded piston rod and 54mm shock body for off-road performance and highway comfort.
  • 4-degree C-bushings — corrects caster angle to preserve factory-like ride and handling after the lift.
  • Track bar drop bracket — maintains suspension geometry and steering feel.
  • 2" rear lift blocks — fabricated steel for durability; levels the rear with the lifted front.
  • U-bolts and hardware — everything needed for installation.

Important notes

  • Vehicles equipped with factory quad shocks (two front shocks per side) will use a single aftermarket shock from this kit.
  • Maximum tire size of 33" requires proper wheel backspacing — verify offset before purchasing wheels.

Why customers pick this at Road Runner

  • Corrected geometry with C-bushings and track bar drop — no death wobble, no steering issues after install.
  • Rough Country lifetime replacement warranty backed locally by Road Runner techs who service these kits every week.
  • Premium N3 shocks included — proven blend of off-road articulation and highway smoothness.
  • Professional in-house alignment performed after every lift install to lock in correct caster and toe.
