HOSS 3.0 Suspension Kits - Now available from Ford Performance!

Really appreciate everyone for sharing their experiences so far.

Just sharing a data point for installation estimates since there's a good chance I'll end up with the HOSS 3.0 upgrade on my 2022 Badsquatch:

Here in San Diego, I'm getting dealer labor estimates of $1800-$2000 for installation including alignment. Completely realize dealer rates are higher than most, and too bad there's no prenegotiated installation cost similar to other accessories.

I had mine done for around $1k at an independent shop.

Thanks @bendover , super helpful context especially since dunes and high speeds aren't in my repertoire. My max speed on more open desert trails is usually 35-40mph. Plus the negligible change in road manners is nice to know since that was another motivator, although I don't find the stock Bilsteins objectionable at 36 psi.

Swapping out my stock wheels for RTR EVOs saved almost 10 lbs per corner, and that was a noticeable improvement in on and off-road manners.

the IBP's in the HOSS 3.0 really start to feel "magic" around 50mph over whoops and washboard, otherwise they feel pretty much the same as the bilsteins.

I got a similar quote here from an off-road shop.
