So is there a consensus for zero rubbing? I see folks stating their offset but not the width of their wheel. Folks in stock rims with 1.25” spacers are effectively running 17x8.5 -1.75 offset (1.25”=31.75mm). If folks are running 17x9 +0 things will move 5mm give or take a few mm.

I am wanting to run a 2.25” or 2” up front and a 1.5 in the rear with a 17x9 +0 or 17x8.5 +0 but haven’t found a definitive answer if this would work or not with zero rubbing on or moderate off-road. Any help is appreciated.
For what it's worth, rpg told me the smaller perches will fit 37's on a 17x9 +0 with a minor rub. The 3\2.25 0 rub at 17x9 +0

Im not stuck on 17x8.5, the wheels I was looking at were 17x8.5 +25 or + 0. Ultimately I will adjust based on the specs required to run 37’s. If that is a 17x9 +0 then I will find wheels that match. I just want to swap to 37’s with as minimal lift as possible and have no rubbing either on or off road and not cut any steel. I have a set of 37” KO2’s already in my garage.

What setup are you running now?
Right now all I have are the wheels. Waiting to see if anyone else comes out with a better option besides the perch collars. 100% going 37's, just not sure what the left will be yet. Gonna 2ait another few months to see what comes, then make a decision

Got it! I see folks running stock wheels 17x8.5 +30 with 1.25" spacers to clear. In mm this would put there offset to a -1.75 which is very close to 17x8.5 +0. Thats why originally I was looking at 8.5 width. A 17x9 +0 has only 4mm more poke than the stock setup with spacers.

Right now all I have is tires, 37" BFG KO2's, lol. I just want to get something that gives me the flexibility. Im looking at Method Wheels but also at RTR since they are so light at 22lbs

The other question I have is whether going with the 3"/2.25" would need new UCA. From others in the thread the actual lift is closer to 2.5", that said most kits at 2.5" come with new UCA's or recommend them.

UCA's are probably a good idea

And a Dif drop!
I want as small a lift as possible. Probably going to end up going with Foutz collars 2/2 to keep some rake and Foutz UCA's. I will also fix the rear track once I find a bar I like or go with the RockJock

Yea I think from what I’ve read (I’m not an expert) anything more than 2” you need to consider Dif drop to correct the drive line angles, probably not as big of a deal if your doing light duty but for heavy crawling I would for sure make sure my angles are good. I hope one day proper lifts are made for these, none that I’ve seen address all the issues with lifting longer stronger high angle CV axles would help a lot.

I think it's odd that everyone dismisses the RC 2 1/2" lift. It sounds like what most are looking for, but it's as if it doesn't exist. It comes with new aluminum UCA's, diff drop, and levels the Bronco. Only $600, my professional install was $500, I think not bad, plus an alignment. I did Firestone lifetime alignments. Mechanic said everything went well. In my opinion, which is only mine, it rides beautiful. I put on new Black Rhino Carbine wheels, 17 x 8.5 0 offset, 37" Cooper at3 XLT'S. Fit, ride and look is awesome and quiet! Just thought I would throw it out there for you all.🫤 Good luck with whatever you do.😎

RC makes one for the fox setup now? Or are you talking the one for reg sas that's modified?

2 1/2" for SAS. $599. Says it doesn't work on 3.0. Several of us beg to differ. Read the reviews on the site or here on the forum. Worked fine for me. 🫤

Anyone know if any actual suspension lifts have officilally started to support hoss 3.0? I'm still a little skeptical on the RC lift, I'm very curious why they wouldn't just say its supported on hoss 3.0 broncos.

I do believe the people reporting the rpg perch collars dont affect ride that much... I'd just like to see what if any other options are out there.

I suspect, RC hasn't put one on a Hoss 3.0 Bronco their selves, so can't advertise that it works. Contact them I guess, and see what they have to say.🫤 I haven't seen anything else come out other than full blown coilovers replacement. Awful expensive since you already paid up for the 3.0, but that option is out there.

Do you have the part#/kit# of the actual kit you used?
