I have a 1978 ford bronco that I love im currently running a dana 60 rear and 44 front I have 39 inch boggers and a 6 inch susp. lift. Ive been thinking for a while about doing a 9 inch lift but I drive this truck on the street to work and to the trails. Id like to know if this will be too much for my pinion angles ? I can rotate the rearend but the front end is pretty much maxed out as far as keeping the caster( camber?) in as streetable possition as possible. I can rotate my knuckles but is it worth doing to a dana 44?  any help from anyone thats done this would be a great help   Im trying to avoid a body lift as much as possible unless anyone has had good luck with this year bronco.  thanks

If your current set up is working for you then why change it?

I wouldn't worry too much about the front pinion angle as long as it's not close to binding the u-joint, only time the front would be spinning is when you're in 4WD.
The rear however you would need to address if it's more than a few degrees off from where it should be, and you want to continue driving it on the street.
