Zone Offroad 2.25” Adventure Series Lift - anyone install on 2023 Wildtrak?

[BroncoDymond88]

Has anyone installed the Zone offboard 2.25" Adventure Series Lift kit on a '23 Wildtrak yet? I know it's a newer kit and I'm considering it. If anyone has pics it'd help me out.

Thanks!

No one?

Following…first I heard of this package.

Curious how this would might work with my ride which is currently squatting a bit in the back after adding a bumper and the upgraded Turn rear tire carrier. I added a front bumper too, but the rear seems to squat about 1/2” lower than the front now. The Turn carrier is damn solid.

Any ideas how to rectify a rear squat with the Hoss 3.0 system?

I don't know too much about this, but what I really like about this kit is that it uses collars and spacers to get the height while keeping the shocks in the sweet spot they are in at stock.

Getting the zone lift installed in a week or so with 37 KO2s. I’ll report back with photos and impressions.

Beautiful, I'm not looking to put 37's on yet but it'd be great to get some feedback before I drop the money to get it done.

Thanks!

Looking forward to this as well. Thanks.

I just popped in here to ask about it.

Anyone have an estimate on install cost for this kit? My dealer just told me $1400 all-in, which sounds extraordinarily high since the kit is only $600.

At that level, I’d probably rather buy Kings and sell my shocks.

 

[BroncoDymond88]

I got a quote higher than that (just over $2k) but it seems reasonable given the amount of work involved compressing the springs etc. $1,400 and at a dealer sounds like a steal to me lol.

I am getting the lift and tires installed today, here is a breakdown of what my shop charged me.

In Austin? I'm in NJ and the quote I got is 1k more.

 

[Wtb13000]

Can’t wait to see pics and hear how it rides.
Good quote, hourly rate seems to be about $110 which is more than fair. Congrats! Now let’s hope they do a good job.

Here's my before:

Feels like I'm driving an actual Bronco again!

Alright fellas, got the Zone HOSS 3.0 lift installed along with Method 703s (0 offset) and 37in KO2s - overall I am very happy with the setup.

Ride quality - now I get this is totally subjective and based on many factors but overall, I prefer it over stock. It is slightly stiffer but in my opinion, in a good way. It’s not jarring going over speed bumps or large bumps nor do I feel limited travel jarring to date. The OG Fox setup is great and plush…like wearing Hoka shoes if you will, but had a lot of nose dive and body roll and now that is gone.

Rubbing - no rubbing lock to lock on road with decent clearance on crash bars, fenders and running boards. I haven’t had a chance to really flex it to check rub but will likely just trim crash bars and swap out my running boards for rock rails/steps for peace of mind. Will be going to Hidden Falls OR park, Big Bend National and State Park and Merus OR Park a lot in the future so don’t want any issues.

Measurements - I had roughly 3/4in rake in stock form and now it is completely level. 41.5in bottom of fender to ground all around

Driveability - Do not notice loss of power or gear hunting, which I hated on my Taco. I might get the FP tune for shits and gigs, but I wouldn’t say I “need” it.

Road noise with 37s - KO2s are quieter than stock SAS and eat up far less rocks. Hopefully the KO2s stay balanced.

All that being said, the wife approved and ask if we were going to get bumpers next alright alright alrightttttt

If you feel so kind some more pics would be great. Side profile, some lock pics to show the tires on the inside near the rub points and anything that shows some of the Zone parts.

The rig looks amazing, really nice, and you may have just pushed me over the wall to spend another $4k on a new setup!
