First, the GC front springs are only gonna give you maybe an inch of lift. You can find some rear leafs from a s-10 or dakota and use a combination of them for different lift heights. You can fit 31's on stock if you trim your fenders. Right now I am running 31's with new HD leafs in back and grand cherokee coils up front. But am swapping that for a 3in. set up tomorrow. Check my album for pics of stock with 31's.

I found the s10 springs for free in a friends backyard, the zj springs from a tire shop for free with the insolators (like 3/4inch more).. Im doing a bastard pack in the back (like 4.5inch of lift more or less) and in front the spring and insolator with a 2inch spacers that cost me 10 bucks a piece!!!
maybe I was lucky.. LOL

Wow I didn't know you could use the f150 springs an Dakota leafs. That's a budget lift ha. Now of you can use f150 coils that would mean you could you 250 coils also correct cuz I know 250 coils give a bronco 4" lift
