suspension for my 1980 Ford Bronco 351W

[track]

hello
i need new suspension for my Bronco, but im totaly noob in Offroad xD so i got some questions:
- how stiff springs to i need in the front, and shocks?
- 5" deaver leafsprings and 2x bilstein 5100 6" lift in the rear? will this be ok on 35" tires? i got an 40G gas tank and a reinforced floor.
- can i have to much shocks?
it will be used mostly on-road.
Thanks!

Kevin, here are 2 good places to start you off.

Well, you have come to the right place! It all depends on how much $$$ you are looking to spend. That superflex kit from Jeff's bronco graveyard is pretty nice. If you just want a lift for the look you can just go with a regular lift kit. Nothing fancy like deavers. You don't have to have a lot of lift to run 35" tires. I have 33" tires and no lift. I bet I could fit 35s and they would only rub when going over big bumps.

Yeah I believe D1cker is running 35s with a leveling kit...

But lots of options depending on your budget and desired use

I'm running 35"s and a 2.5 rancho shock/spring.. I also had my bumper trimmed.
