A drop pitman arm is recommended for optimum turning radius and drag link alignment. (#6602) (#6602) pitman arm will NOT work if the original arm has a welded ball joint on the end. Vehicles with factory quad shocks (2 front shocks per side) will simply use a single aftermarket shock. Fitment on this page is based on the manufacturer’s application data.
About this kit
4-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 535.20 is a 4-inch lift kit for the 1978–1979 Ford Bronco 4WD, built around lifted coil springs up front and lifted rear leaf springs, with a 4-inch N3 shock kit, 7° C-bushings, a track bar drop bracket, U-bolts, and hardware. Rough Country lists an install time of 5-7 hours.
This 4-inch lift kit for the 1978–1979 Ford Bronco 4WD raises ride height and evens out the factory front-to-rear stance, adding ground clearance for larger tires. Front parts include lifted coils, a track bar drop bracket, and 7° C-bushings; the rear uses lifted leaf springs with U-bolts and hardware, and a 4-inch N3 shock kit damps both ends. Rough Country recommends a drop pitman arm for turning radius and drag link alignment, though that arm will not suit an original arm with a welded ball joint. Trucks with factory quad shocks run one aftermarket shock per side.
