About this kit

4-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 48530 is a 4-inch lift kit for the 1984–1990 Ford Bronco II 4WD, built around lifted front coils, 3-inch rear leaf springs, and two N3 shock pairs. Power steering is required — trucks with manual steering are not covered, and the 87-88 High Rider STX package is excluded. Shipping weight: 246.0 lb.

This 4-inch lift kit for the 1984–1990 Ford Bronco II 4WD is listed for Base, XL, XL Sport, XLS, XLT, XLT Plus, and Eddie Bauer trims. The box holds lifted coil springs, radius arm and I-beam drop brackets, a power steering pitman arm, front sway bar drop brackets rated for 4-6 inches of lift, a pair of 3-inch rear leaf springs with U-bolts, and two N3 shock pairs. The drop brackets let caster be set back to spec so factory steering feel carries over. Rough Country lists 6-8 hours for the job, and a downloadable installation guide is available.
