Bronco Wildtrak Stance (Front End)

[Seven714]

All-

I purchased a 2024 Wildtrak about a week ago and the one thing I am noticing is that not only mine but other Broncos with 35 on them it looks like the Front End sits higher than the rear? Maybe it is just an illusion but wanted to get others thoughts and is there a way to even out the stance?

I searched and didn't see anything on this.

Thats very odd, most people see it the other way around. Personally I don't understand "leveling kits" considering the first thing I do when I head out is throw a bunch of crap in the back. Hell my recovery gear and tools alone level my Badlands out.

 

[Seven714]

Yeah, that is why I think it is just me because your right leveling kits do the opposite.

It's an illusion or how the truck is sitting unless it's modded. Stock Wildtrak the rear is just a tad higher than the front.

As soon as you put it in drive it squats.

The '24 Wildtrak with Fox shocks has about a 2.5" rake in the front and both the front end and the back end are lower than the other Sasquatch trims (2.5" in the front and 1.5" in the back). If your front end is higher than the back, or even level, someone messed with the suspension before you bought it.

Zone offroad makes a leveling kit that will level the suspension and raise both ends to where the other Sasquatch trims sit without negatively impacting the benefits of the Fox shocks. There are lots of other threads on the forum that discuss this. Happy hunting!

I put a leveling kit on mine but that was to offset droop from the winch I added on the front.

Thanks for the information, that Zone Offroad leveling kit doesn't appear to fit the 2024 but I'll call and find out for sure.

Can you take a picture on level ground from the side? Here is mine at the dealership just before I pick it up. It’s a 22 WT.

That's only in the Carolinas. It's called the 'Carolina Squat'. The rest of us get 'Normal' Wildtraks.

Yes, I will try and get one today. My driveway is sloped so need to go to a flat surface. PS yours looks good.

I actually lifted my front in a bit with a level kit after purchase.

My 2023 Wildrack sits higher in the front. I have not had time to understand the reason or find a solution.

Mine does as well. It was about 1/2 in higher in front than rear.

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken but, it could be an illusion due fender flare heights:

The front fender flare is 1" taller than the rear fender flare when compared to the longitudinal axis of the bronco. You can verify this by measuring from the top of the fender flares to the body contour line that runs lengthwise across the doors and above the door handles. So, for example, if you measured from the ground to the top of the rear fender flare and got 39", and measured from the ground to the top of the front fender flare at got 40", your bronco's body would actually be level. It probably looks better to they eye to have a 1" rake so that the tops of the fender flares are even though (39" for both measurements in this case).

Anyway, my 4 door wildtrak w/ HOSS 3.0 like had about a 2" rake (front fender flares 1" closer to the ground than the rear) from the factory which ballooned to about 3" of rake when I started putting accessories on the front end (winch, lights).

For you I would put a few thousand miles on the truck and see how the springs break in before doing anything. You could consider a triple fog light kit that would add 30-40 lbs to the front bumper which would probably lower the front 1/4" or so after all the mounting plates, wires, etc. Maybe some steel bashplates if it doesn't have them. Throw some hard shackles on the recovery points. Maybe a winch mount and winch if you really want to go crazy. Based on my expereince that'll sag the front end by a solid .5-1".

Added front lift springs to correct for front sag:
