Name is Chris, first post here. Got an'87 full sized bronco i bought 13 years ago. Put 8 grand into rebuilding all the mechanical on it. It has sat for last 6 years or so. Still runs great just have not used it. Decided to turn it into an off road toy, my boy will love it!!It has a 2.5 inch rough country lift already. I just bought new 33's for it and wanted to get a little more lift but I am a broke fireman so not a lot of money to spend. I bought add a leafs for the rear already because my plan was to throw add a leafs on the rear and 2" coil spacers up front on top of the lift it has already to give me 4" total. I was told this will NOT work because i would need to buy some extra bracket or my aligment will never be right. Is this true? If so anything else i can do? Like i said money is short  and i cant really afford a whole new 4" kit but not really sure 2.5 inches of lift is enough for the trails me and the boy want to do. Thanks!!

Rock the 33's and be happy for now. If they fit no need to lift it any more.
