If you could, please give some off-road feedback after the change? I am probably headed this same direction to make trail speeds less jarring. Perhaps FOX is a better fit for me as I'm not looking for performance.

A little off topic, sorry, but what size is your tires? Thanks!After debating different shocks for my build I went with the Bilstein 6100's (they also were on sale at Stage 3 Motorsports which helped). I am running a BDS puck style lift on my 2023 Badlands SAS. My tech installed the 6100's at the lowest "1" setting as that is what it appeared to say to do in the directions, put it on the ground and now I have a rake to the front and it is noticeably lower in the front, back might be a tad but the front is very noticeable. Measuring the rear from the ground vs. the front the front is almost 1.25" lower in the front where usually they were pretty level.
Attached is the new pic (pointed right) and an old pic I found (pointed left) The Before pic is without the 1/2" body lift, the new pic even has the 1/2" body lift on it.
I am going to have my tech redo the front and move the clip I think but has anyone experienced this on the 6100 with it sitting lower on the stock setting?
TIA,
Dave
Hey everybody come look quick: this idiot meant to say “Murphy’s Law”Cunningham’s law will let you know for sure though.
All good! 37x12.5.17 on 17x9 with zero offsetA little off topic, sorry, but what size is your tires? Thanks!
Thanks. Wheels are Vorsteinier Off-road VR-601's with zero offset. Also seen them called "VENOM RX" or something.I sorry I can’thelp with your lift issues, but what wheels are you running?
I can't tell if you're joking or not? Cunningham's Law is a thing. No idea which one they meant, but referring to the wrong thing doesn't make you an idiot.Hey everybody come look quick: this idiot meant to say “Murphy’s Law”

He was making a joke by using Cunningham's Law. No offense taken.I can't tell if you're joking or not? Cunningham's Law is a thing. No idea which one they meant, but referring to the wrong thing doesn't make you an idiot.
They look killer!!! Congrats on the Bronco!All good! 37x12.5.17 on 17x9 with zero offset
Thank you sir! Appreciate it!They look killer!!! Congrats on the Bronco!
I confused... are you trying to match the 6100s to your previous ride height that had a spacer lift?Just to update the post. Here is the stock sas shock next to the 6100. To get them equal length I am at the 4th clip, not "stock", going to see where it sits in a few but that should put it back to where it was before adding the shocks.
So, I don't know how others are getting an actual lift from these shocks unless I am unique because I am dealing with a lifted bronco and not a stock one.
No. I was just upgrading shocks, not removing the lift. Was just trying to match the 6100s to the factory height of the yellow Bilsteins that came off.I confused... are you trying to match the 6100s to your previous ride height that had a spacer lift?
If so, how much lift were the spacers advertised at?

REAR:
Did you remove the strut spacers?No. I was just upgrading shocks, not removing the lift. Was just trying to match the 6100s to the factory height of the yellow Bilsteins that came off.
