Is the Zone 2.25" Lift for the Wildtrak HOSS 3.0 the best complete Kit ? ? ? ? Who has one?

[2fast4u]

I was looking at kits in the 2"-3" range and found the Zone kit for the HOSS 3.0 Wildtrak. Looks like it keeps the Stock ride and great Warty program. I like that the kit comes with UCA's

Is this the best over all kit without getting to crazy? would love to hear what you guys think. I would like the ride to stay nice and smooth like stock.

I was looking at Perch Collar lifts but this looks like the better Route????

Getting the Zone Kit installed right now.
There are a couple different threads on this topic but I’ll give you my hwy ride home review and will be testing it at the Big Bear Bronco Bash in a couple weeks.
I went with this kit for the UCA’s and that Zone is affiliated with Fox. Being that the HOSS 3.0 shocks are position sensitive I liked the combo of a small collar and spacer lift so the shocks ride in their sweet spot around town.

I have the zone kit and I like it a lot. Perfectly level, Beefy control arms, CV angles are fine IMO, ride quality is still awesome but ever so slightly firmer. Reduced nose dive on braking which is a plus.

The Fox and Zone relationship is what really sold me.

Super happy with the results. Can’t wait for my tires next week.

Looks like it gave you a lot of lift?

of stock wildTrak seems short

how is the ride?

For me, I still feel the DNA of the fox shocks with the plushness and smooth ride. It is slightly stiffer but in a good way. There is less body roll, less nose dive on braking, and still performs great off road.

The popularity of leveling kits has me thinking the 4-door has more factory rake than the 2-door?


I've been thinking about increasing rake just a bit on my 2-door, but I can see the leveling kit is just fine for the 4-door.

The ride is noticeably more stiff in the front, body roll has decreased, brake dive has decreased but I’m not sure I like it more than the stock handling.
It does seem that mine lifted the front more than other pictures I’ve seen, we’ll see how much it settles. I should have taken before and after measurements.
I’m putting on the BOSS Walker end links today, very curious what they do to the on road handling. I’ll let you know later today.

Got the new end links on before it gets too hot and The BOSS Walker Links made a world of difference. Immediately noticeable just rolling off the curb. Took it on a very short drive through a water retention area and I am now as happy with the handling as I am the looks.
excited for tires and to test it offroad at the Big Bear Bronco Bash in a couple weeks!

I installed the zone kit on my ‘23 Wildtrak about 3 weeks ago. As previously said the ride is slightly stiffer but I think I can lower the air pressure in the tires to get it pretty close to stock ride. I did the JKS max tire kit at the same time with 37x12.50 Firestone Destinations. One piece of advice if you do it yourself. The instructions say it’s optional to loosen the CV nut and remove the hub but in my opinion this is not optional. If you don’t do this you will pull the CV apart and it is a PIA to get the C clip back in without taking the hub off anyway.

If it’s higher in the front after the lift maybe it would be better to leave off the perch collar in front, that should also take care of the stiffer ride, that perch collar doesn’t look like it is very big so eliminating it should make it just a bit lower in front but not as much of a take as stock.
