Default 4x4 lifted mustang

Ive been toying around with the idea of doing this for awhile now. Ive heard it all though, dont do that, why wreck a good mustang, trucks get lifted cars get lowered etc. I get it. I was wondering how you would go about it if you were going to lift a mustang to comfortably fit 37'' tires and not have it look hacked together? Ive considered a bronco 2 frame and a old ranger frame but I thought I would get some opinions and some good advice before I dug into the project.

Thanks

Bronco II might be too small, Ranger might be the best route. Hope you know what you're getting yourself into.

There's one in my area, a SN95. It was put on a Chevy Suburban chassis. It is HUGE, practically undriveable when its windy. It does look hacked together though. The person who owns it bought it that way, so It wasn't like I could talk to who built it unfortunately. I am curious about the motivation of someone wanting to spend that kind of money and time on something like this though if you would be willing to enlighten me?

I am definitely the wrong person to ask that question lol. I think 4x4ing any car like a Mustang is a complete garbage idea. Sorry if that offends. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Really? With that logic we should never mod our cars because if it was a good idea it would have been an option... Riiiight....

I think a lifted mustang would look cool. But i agree, you don’t want to hack it together. A body swap would probably be the easiest since the mustang suspension does not have a high amount of travel in it (at least not enough to fit 37’s in the wheel wells).

Lifted Mustang II is the best thing I have seen.
In my opinion it looks better than a stock/lowered/modded MII
