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.

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.

- 2" rear lift blocks — fabricated steel for durability; levels the rear with the lifted front.
