HOSS 3.0 Suspension Kits - Now available from Ford Performance!

[Glade Runner]

They are calling it a Wildtrak kit.
So it seems to me that if you're buying it for a non Wildtrak, that's on you to figure it out.

It seems like I read on this forum, a while back, that the Everglades had ”stiffer” springs on the front than other trims to compensate for the winch even with the smaller 2.3.

Is that the case?

FWIW I swapped a set of Fox Hoss 3.0 takeoffs onto our non-sas 2.3L Black Diamond and gained roughly 2" of ride height in the front and 1" in the rear making it sit very close to level. The Fox shocks ride and perform great. Also, I do not run the rear sway bar and think the handling is fine.

Before/After: Hoss 3.0 Fox take-offs from a Wildtrak.


*edit* I also added 6mm spacers to the top of the rear shocks to help keep it level when gear is loaded in the back (adds 8mm at wheel)

Could this be an alternative if I need the recall on the rear shocks?

I'd been waiting for this!

At this point, know I'm going with FOX and had been looking at FOX 3.0 adjustable (not HOSS 3.0, as these are FOX 2.5), but, the cost is roughly double the full set of these and diminishing returns.

I've been wheeling with these terrible Bilsteins and since the recall is about ready, just installing these at the dealership would be a win, so I'm going to talk to my guy about it. Otherwise, will work with some buddies to install myself. Think Ford then gives a rebate check or something like that I've read. Please correct me if that's not true at all, as I don't wish to spread misinformation.

So I was doing my typical parts hunting for my Bronco Break series on YouTube (also because I'm obsessed and apparently have nothing better to do). Tonight's parts hunt found something I did not expect, and I'm sure many of you will be interested in it. So I'm sharing it now rather than waiting for the video.

Ford is now selling the HOSS 3.0 suspension kit standalone through Ford Performance! Comes with both front and rear coilovers, and a rear stabilizer bar. The wording in the product description suggests that it's intended for installation on a non-Sasquatch Bronco, but I don't see why you couldn't use it on a Sasquatch Bronco if you wanted—you just might end up with a stabilizer bar that probably matches the one you already have.

LINKS:

• 2-door Kit
• 4-door Kit

(ps. If anyone in the northeast buys this and doesn't need the stabilizer bar, let me know. I'll buy it off of you.)

This is really cool. Do these have internal droop limiters (bump stops?) like the Hoss 2.0 shocks?

Realistically, I should upgrade my M190 before fancy suspension, but…

That is the Ford performance parts site…the link

It's confusing but it's actually two different sites. The Ford Performance Parts site uses the Ford Accessories site's backend for ecommerce, so when you click "Buy" on Ford Performance it kicks you over to Ford Accessories.

But all of the instructions and compatibility info is on Ford Performance. Sometimes they copy/paste the info over to the description on Ford Accessories, but it doesn't work with the compatibility filter.

I assume the folks that do Ford Accessories are in a different department than the Ford Performance folks, probably why it's a little goofy.

I can confirm this from interacting with the contacts on either side. Ford Performance people are way more knowledgeable about the parts themselves while Ford Accessories is really only logistics.

How much do you think the dealer will charge to install these

I was wondering the same thing. Since mine is the original Wildtrak without 3.0. I will have to talk to my insider to see if they can get me better pricing.

With the recall, going to try to buy and just have them install front and back then since it'll already be up on the lift.

Feel I need to buy soon before prices increase although these should be made in the good ole USA.

Why is a sway bar included? I was not aware that the rear sway bar was different for the WT's with HOSS 3.0.

Thanks,I did not know that.

Budget for $200-$250/per wheel. Final install should include alignment.

Non-Sasquatch Broncos do not include a rear sway bar.

That's what I was thinking... Thank you for confirming!

Hahahaha awesome-
Just about to go pickup my Bronco that just got 6112s installed.
Such is life. I got the 6112s installed and completed for $2000 after alignment, so I'm not really upset about it
