Overview
The Tuff Country 24710 is a 4-inch front and 3-inch rear suspension lift kit for the 1978–1979 Ford Bronco in the Custom, Northland and Ranger XLT trims. Lift kits like this add height to a truck or SUV, which increases fender clearance and makes room for larger tires.
Tuff Country has made EZ-Ride suspension lift kits since 1988. It fits the Bronco trims named above, and it suits owners who want a higher stance on a classic Ford without a full custom build.

- 4-inch front lift and 3-inch rear lift
- Radius arm bracket
- Track bar bracket
- U-bolts with a 4 degree bushing kit

Working with a classic Bronco
Older Broncos often have worn body mounts, aged leaf springs and original steering components. A lift adds stress to all of these, so a condition check of the springs, shock mounts and steering linkage is a practical first step. Classic trucks also benefit from checking the frame near the brackets for rust, since older metal can hide weak spots.
The add-a-leaf and radius arm bracket change how the rear axle carries load and holds position. Many owners of older trucks replace the shocks at the same time, because the new height changes the shock angle. Using fresh U-bolts and checking their torque after the first drives helps keep the axle secure.
- Inspect leaf springs for sag or cracks
- Check the frame near mounts for rust
- Replace shocks when changing ride height
- Re-torque U-bolts after the initial drives
