Thanks in advance:

I have a raptor Bronco and I bought my daughter a Big bend SAS for college. We added a preload spacer for effect(not for off-roading). Roads where she goes to school are not well maintained, and she asked me if I could get hers riding more like the raptor on road😂.

Hers is Super harsh on bumps and potholes

This Bronco will not be Offroad and don’t want to break the bank , 8112’s I know are the bees knees!
Is the icon 2.5 EXP a good choice for her? Other opinions or options. Don’t want new control arms/just better ride quality.
IMO...Eibach 2.0s w/ standard springs set to the lowest lift setting (+/-1.5" over SAS), keep the OEM UCAs and ditch the spacers.

I have messed around with tire pressure extensively with my stock Big Bend 2Dr. Sas.... I do mostly freeway driving when not off-road, so I normally run about 32-34 psi. I find that a good compromise with ride/handling. If I were doing more low(er) speed surface streets, I would probably run in the 26-28 range, and then air up for any extended freeway. The OEM Territories, being a lighter load range tire, react noticeably to small pressure changes, and thus, ride quality.
