2024 Wildtrak (SASQ) HOSS 3.0 with Eibach HOSS 3.0 Pro-Lift-Kit Springs needs a 1.5 lift in rear due to load

[JimmyMac]

Sure, so on road behavior has been smooth without stiffness.

Originally, with my OE Fox set up, going over a large speed bumps (which I loved flying over), the Bronco wouldn't even realize there was a bump. But, as soon as I put the Eibach rear springs in, not thinking, I flew over these speed bumps on a side street, and on my goodness, a bit harsh and I was a little bummed out for a split moment. BUT, literally just a few weeks ago after filling up the gas tank, I was going down the same side street, and not thinking, i was about to fly over the first speed bump, but it was a bit to late to hit the brakes, so I decided to just let it ride, and I was absolutly shocked to realize the Eibachs have broken in, not exactly as smooth as the Fox springs, but holy crap, like night and day from the day I installed them. The lift is still the exact same as the day I installed them, so I was happy to see they were so much smoother going over the speed bumps, and these speed bumps on this side street are no joke, I have to go over them in my other cars once in awhile at around 10MPH, in the bronco, 40ish lol, you might say I am crazy , but the speed limit on this street is 35, not sure who can go over these speed bumps at 35 and not loose their front bumper!!!

I honestly haven't had to time to hit a trail since the install, I have been so busy with my daughters senior year, recovery from her ACL surgery and also keeping her ready physically and mentally, as she will be playing soccer at the college level.

But knowing how the rear is riding now vs day one, I am pretty sure I am going to be pretty pumped the way she handles the terrain. I will keep you posted!

I hope this helps, have a great weekend!

Do you have the link to the Zone kit? Thanks

Thanks for the update, I’m running the zone and Fox Hoss also. If my rear starts to sag I want to have an idea on how the replacement springs are working for others. Mush appreciated.

Best wishes for your daughters recovery and return to full health.

I know this is an older thread but I wanted to comment on your Bronco adamruiz2001. I think you've got the perfect setup and I might just do the same. I might add the Boss Walker swaybar end links and call it good. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the input and your right in part though I love the stance of the other poster. I was told by FOUST, and eibach that adding a top hat spacer would cause issues with geometry and other parts needed replacement due to stress like tie rods and UACs. I was told by ebiach today that I should have ordered the HD springs as the load for the kit is only for stock but with all the other weight which is similar to the other poster approx 250 in skid plates and then MOLLE panels and half-roof rack putting me at around 350. The HD has a rated load for 500 lbs and this would make the ride cushy but keep the height advertised. I wish I could just add spacers that the shop is researching for but may have to gow with the others recommendation and get the HD. Its odd that the oage for eibach HOSS 3 lift kit pro has no weight info and the HD's look like they are just for people that want to do either the front or back instead of the whole thing. So frigging user friendly page was a little misleading. I spent 1700 to get thes bad boys installed based of crap info lol. Both 4wheel parts and I fell into that trap. They have been so helpful but I'm a little pissed at how eibach has handled it saying you bought it through them so go through them even though they sent 4wheel an open box with mismatched springs to start and had to get temp coilovers over the weekend that killed my back. lol Any other sugs are welcome!!!

Curious, what’s your overall weight when loaded (if you’re 350 empty)? I’m always interested in whether people are paying attention to the Bronco GVWR (or not) and how that figures into their calculus of lifts and loads.
