I’ve tried stuff like this in various vehicles over the years and always just find myself continuing to wear it on my person where it belongs. I don’t buy any “it’s uncomfortable” story either… carry all day every day (with a quality holster and set up well) and you won’t notice it. We do 16...
I hope your JBA’s are better than the ones we installed on my wife’s grand Cherokee when we lifted that. They squeak like a stuck pig every 2500 miles without fail.. I hardly even put my grease gun away
If you're going to go with the Fox's (especially if you have a 4 door and/or ANY weight/passengers) then don't bother buying them unless you're going through Accutune.
You'll end up either having to crank the preload to max just to get back to your original ride height (not lifted) or tear them...
I've got about 10k miles on my 37x12.50 Baja Boss MT's now and love them. They outperform my old 37" Toyo MT's out here in Western NC by a good margin and same good on- road manners as well. I'd buy them again
Growing up driving manuals forever it was always just second nature. That said this is my first relatively modern auto and I've decided I can't stand an electronic brake.. I want to step on an ebrake pedal and hear the satisfying clicks (right next to the high beam floor button). Its just not...
A true mud tire they are not.. not even close actually. More like some sort of A/T hybrid. Probably spec'd on the 6th gen due to the combination of "looking" relatively rugged but weighing practically nothing for fuel economy purposes. Some of that comes from being closer to 34" in reality...
All of the above is obviously true about what puck Lifts do toward over-extension. That said - your new ride height is about 2.5" over your old ride height. You're binding at right height now, correct? Your old setup would droop more than the 2.5" difference and not bind at full extension..
I'll have to chew on this a bit for ideas but 2.5" just isn't that high that it should be causing the CV's to bind. The stock bilsteins with no lift will droop more than that (basically your new ride height) and don't bind at full extension.. Tons of folks rolling around on that much and more...
I edited my comment to include a link to a thread I remembered following a couple years ago about folks having a hard time with RCV's. I agree in thinking it could just as easily be an RCV issue as there's just not that much to go wrong with a 2.5" spacer lift that would be immediately detrimental.
Did you have the RCV's installed at the same time as the lift? Or were they done previously and worked fine?
I recall there being a thread about RCV's and looks like its a few years old now but might be relevant to you.. found it>...
On the '25 build and price it does seem to require the addition of the sasquatch package if you select that you want Hoss 3 w/ Fox.
That said I'm almost sure that starting w/ '2024 any badlands got the "severe duty" steering rack (the important part) albeit still being Hoss 2.0 for the rest. So...
Thats the first thing we bought when my old truck drove away. Its definitely not convenient or a direct replacement but largely does what we used the truck to do
Its not an immediate write-off but for many buyers sasquatch on a badlands (especially 2024 and beyond) just represents a bunch of redundency you pay extra for (already has the same axles, steering, etc).. particuarly if you plan on changing wheels/tires, coilovers, etc. Many that purchase a...
Keep your truck! Wish I had.. I'm back in the market for another. Bronco's a fun novelty SUV but truck guys/gals need trucks and as mentioned - you'll need one shortly after you don't have one for sure
