need non-jeep advice from jeepers on mild lift for son's '83 bronco

sorry to ask here . . . but I trust you guys most . . . my son, being less enlightened than us, has been driving an "83 Ford Bronco . . . the springs are tired and need to be replaced . . . but since the previous owner had put on 35 inch tires and re-geared the axles, I thought we should lift it just a small amount . . . 4 inches or less . . . can any of you tell me who makes the best small lift for this older truck ?

thanks very much for that link . . . I read about their kits . . . but for the rear ROUGH COUNTRY uses blocks and/or add-a-leafs . . . does anyone know where to buy new leaf spring assemblies ( even if they're stock ) ?

Be careful with some of those kits, they sacrifice ride for lift. Get one with variable rate, or rock crawler springs and don't lift it more than 3" or you will get into another host of problems and expenses aka "Lift Cycle of Cash".
