yeah, whatever. Coilovers don’t make the “suspension” control arms do.Uhm, you can option internal bypass Fox coilovers! Which have never been offered on a Bronco (besides the Wildtrak that I have two of)
Well.... Next year they are going to slap an exhaust, CAI, softer tire and sticker pack on a 4 cylinder mustang and calling it the introduction to the Ford GT and say you're welcome America, now pay up...
Lol, niiiice... "Ford says the engine features anti-lag tech derived from the GT race car".
I post my build today and you’re already one-upping me. I’m not even mad.
As I said earlier that similar whopper of a quote from the Ford Raptor brand manger is both a lie and so bad it is embarrassing...
I'm just upset that the bronco doesn't get a drift brake.I think the package works a lot better on the Mustang vs the Bronco....
A 4 cylinder with anti lag that makes significantly less than 300 HP is not even on the same side of town as any Raptor motor, let alone on the door step of being comparable.. that is just my opinion. I'd accept their claim if they put the 2.7 and at least upgraded to the Roush intake and exhaust or even slapped in the Ford performance tune on the 2.7. According to Google the weight difference is no more than 100lb between the 2 motors, so the claim that they put a 4 cylinder to make it lighter on sand is kinda washy... but holds some logic at least.I think the whole "intro into Raptor" is just a play on words.... meaning, on the door step. If you get a Ranger Raptor, you're already in! But I agree, it's a stupid moniker, and the RR makes a far better case in bang for your buck. Put a removable top on the RR, I'm in....
Yeah, I agree with you, just trying to defend their statement, somewhat... PR guys are known for saying things that make the purists roll their eyes.... They keep the media happy, and piss off the engineers....
And think abouth the width trackth!indeed.
Motion ratio is not effected by wheel spacers, ie, lower ball joint motion doesn’t change. But king pin axis does change, ie, orientation of knuckle. So as king pin angles change then leveraging longer spacers would indeed increase wheel travel.
plot shows relative changes in king pin axis for oem control arms. Notice changes are less than a few percent. Using 3% you can probably increase wheel travel by, sin(3)=0.052, so like 1/2” using 10” spacers. Definitely going to try that. What could go wrong.
