Go ahead and lift it, the running gear is pretty stout, and don't worry about drive line angle, these have cv drive lines.  Make sure you get good springs, I had one with wild horses 3.5" rock crawler coils,  (it rode real nice).  Don't worry about mileage, they are not aerodynamic to start with.  I sold mine long ago, but they are still my favorite..

What size tires did you run with the 3.5 lift?

Got a new Edelbrock 600 on it yesterday and found out a wire was broken off from the ignition switch. Spliced one in and got to drive her today! Motor sounds and runs smooth! Surprised how well it runs after being parked 20 years!

I came across my old post and thought i should do an update. The bronco runs. I installed a 3.5 inch wild horse lift kit and it needs an alignment, the brakes redone after being parkes so long and some of the lights replaced. Some used tires were given to me to get it one step closer to being on the road. Amazing how time flys and projects get put to the side. Between being busy at work, owning a house, and a 4 and a half month old daughter thats exactly what happened. I still go out and start it up about once a month. Slowly but surely ill be driving some day!
