    The engine makes power. That power is sent from the engine to the transmission. Then the power comes out of the transmission and goes to a transfer case that sends the power to the front or the back of the vehicle through the driveshafts to the axles. Inside the axles are another set of gears called a differential, that sends the power to the tires.

    My Bronco (Jon) has a Toms Offroad 2.5” lift with a 1” body lift. But, recently I added the Bilstein 5165 Dual reservoir shocks which made my suspension really soft. And I love it, but it made the Bronco so tippy around corners. Now with the sway bar I still get the soft ride, but the Bronco handles on road so much better. A 2.5” lift is going to fit on just about any Bronco and allow you to keep the stock length brake lines and driveshafts. Once you enter into 3.5” and above, you will have to change driveshaft length, because the tires are further away from the transfer case, and you will need to extend your brake lines, because they are now further from the frame especially when you are at full drop. Suspension packages are doing two things, 1) Changing the look of your bronco (the stance) and 2) Changing the ability to handle terrain. Toms Offroad has suspension packages from 0” (stock height), 2.5”, 3.5”, and 5.5”. Just because you buy a 5.5” lift, doesn't mean it will handle great offroad, it just means you changed the look of your Bronco and you can fit bigger tires under your Bronco. But in each of the lift kits, you have different options that allow for more articulation and better offroad manners. Level 2 - changes shocks, springs, and leaf spring pack. Level 3 - Everything with level 2, plus adds shock hoops to allow you to run 4 shocks up front, 2 on each side. This gives you a softer shock and means that your suspension will compress more offroad. Lever 4 - Everything with level 2 and 3, plus adds an inboard shock hoop to the rear which allows you to move your shocks inside the frame to give you more articulation offroad.
