Looking for some advice of a suspension lift kit 2025 big bend non sas

[theduffpenalty]

New to this space. I have a 2025 big bend 2.3l non sas. Mainly driven on pavement with some camping/hiking here and here. I want a 2-3inch suspension lift for overall better ride quality + some off-road capability here’s what I thinking about purchasing.

Eibach Pro-Truck Coil-Over Kit; Stage 2, or something around $2-3k price point.

Then adding Zone upper control arms, RC adjustable rear track bar, RC tie rod sleeve or buffer ones. Would you recommend anything else or is any of this unnecessary for my use?

Other than cosmetics, seat time is much better than adding those parts.

Those parts are absolutely unneeded.
You buy parts like that AFTER you regularly go beyond, due to your ability, the capability of the truck.
If you pay attention and become a good offroader, the chances of you needing those enhancements go down to almost unmeasurable.

I've seen a stock Subaru with a grandma driving it, pass me on the climb out of elephant hill.

Punchline:
Get talent.
Then
Get parts.

I am rolling the Eibach Pro-Truck coilovers with no supporting mods. If you keep it low, you can get good alignment with all stock parts.
Skip any tie rod sleeve. They are all junk.

The Eibach’s are a great choice for what you’re wanting to do. Skip the tie rod sleeves. Don’t need aftermarket upper control arms or rear track bar, but will want a track bar mount relocation bracket which keeps the track bar geometry correct by keeping it level. I have the Rock Jock one.
Mine is a ‘24 non-sas 2.3 Black Diamond, so same as yours suspension wise. Love the better ride the Eibachs give and the adjustable lift. You’ll need a front end alignment once you get the ride height set.

Always lots of opinions here. I am going to echo this. For your use case the Bronco is already a perfect platform and doesn’t need much. The only thing I would add is try to keep lift at 2”. Helps keep CG down some. Will also help with alignment. 3” lift is starting to be difficult for OEM UCAs.

Adding an unpopular opinion here.

Control arms and links are not necessary for 99% of users. And not necessary for 2” lift. They are way over hyped and pushed. They are merely metal rods of given length. Oem lengths are fine for a 2” lift. Fancy billet vs tube is kinda silly. Why machine a fancy part when an appropriate tube size can be engineered? The end conditions mater significantly. Beware of different conditions. Most people do NOT want heim style “metal on metal “ joints. Oem has softer bushings.

The main consideration for after market links should be, will it benefit my use case? And will lack of oem bushings be an issue for me?
