I love the look and ride of mine. There is still a slight rake (40" - front and 40.5" rear -, measured from ground to fender). I would suspect that a fully packed rig for overlanding would level out nicely.
I got these - https://www.mishimoto.com/borne-off-road-wheel-spacers-6-139-7-93-1.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAvK2bBhB8EiwAZUbP1DzVLnnV-798aEq6Qd-spvnl6lBY-gPKHanbrgEcozQGEbDb3PLcRBoCpFUQAvD_BwE
They are the Borne-Off-road 1” spacers in Black.
Thank you for the kind words!
No clunking, squeaking or...
Got my springs installed today. 2022 Wildtrack. 1” wheel spacers. Otherwise stock suspension (plus springs now).
I echo what others have said. Slightly better ride from stock. Excellent look and feel on the road. Very pleased overall. Will be adding 37’s eventually. Plenty of room for it.
My appointment is for next Wednesday. I was going to do the install myself, but after seeing what happened with a regular spring compressor, I decided to take it to a local 4x4 shop and let them do it. Here's hoping that the advertised lift rates for the front and rear are accurate. I will post...
37’s are said to fit with the 2” spacer lift from Zone. (ZONF1221) So I would imagine they would fit here too. I will not be upgrading UCAs any time soon on my rig.
I think there’s some debate as to which method might be the easiest. I will be dropping the lower control arm to avoid the risk of damaging the CV axle. Plus I don’t have a 34mm socket.
This is exactly how I am using my JB4 now. E30 in Map4 is a blast. Was just hoping to see if the FP tunes other features outweighed it. Or, as it appears, can be piggybacked.
I know that these springs will require an alignment, post install, but does anyone know how long one should wait to get it done? Immediately? 100 miles? 250 miles?
I would imagine that some "settling" would need to happen first. Thoughts?
37's should work with either spring change or coilovers. Springs raise 2.3" in the front and 1.6" in the rear. UCAs are normally recommended around 2.5"-3" or above. Coilover data below:

I, too, understood the apprehension initially. But coming from the guy who makes and sells them seems pretty compelling. I really want the shift pattern updates for daily drivability. But the E30 map on the JB4 has the sauce. I am just about ready to order the FP tune (to stack with my JB4 I got...
I see a few have asked across the forum about whether or not the JB4 can be used WITH the FP tune. I asked Burger via email and this is what I got back:
Hi Billy,
The JB4 is compatible with the Ford tune or any flash map you want to
run. Record a JB4 log on map0 once flashed and send me log...
