On the other side of the coin, noticing that your cameras are a bit out of whack may serve as another reminder of what could go wrong if you mess with it

Time to shop for 17" wheels

Yes, I once got a bad change from a reputable dealership. I had it changed again promptly at a different dealership - problem solved.

I was thinking up front the Bilsteins gain an inch of downtravel, which is the maximum downtravel you can add up front because of the CVs. Adding an inch of downtravel would favor adding 1" to 1.5" of spring lift up front. So the answer would be to see how much front height you lose with the...

Thanks for the heads up ! Hoss sounds too much like marketing, so I haven't previously gotten into some of those details. But now you've gotten me curious.

The internet says they could be going up to 100. As much as I like Bronco, to the exclusion of other Ford vehicles, I wonder if they're really selling enough to do this? Seems like Jeep gave up on stand-alone Jeep dealerships about 15 years ago?

Consider that a simple 3.5" lift increases wheel uptravel by 3.5" and decreases wheel travel by the same 3.5" That's a major difference, because the unmodified stock Bronco had about 3.5" downtravel, so a simple 3.5" lift eliminates your downtravel. Onroad bumps will top out your shocks and...

I think the forum has established that a 1.5" body lift is sufficient for 37s. Those who favor a greater BL please chime in. I've seen an installation video on youtube that will show you how easy it is. That will give you a lot of confidence in finding a shop that's willing to do, instead of...

The progressive springs I picked out for my jeep TJ deliver massive performance advantages in terms on on-road traction, yet being able to firm up quite a bit, but gently, off the road. Another advantage of progressive is being able to have more uptravel than downtravel without topping out the...

If I'm reading the recent Eibach threads correctly, they're now offering 3 varieties of front spring, so you can match your front weight requirements. Having front and rear springs frequency balanced is a thing, so you'll want to use Eibach's rear springs as well. The reason why Eibach can...

Now we're getting somewhere. I get the sense that the other high-end front springs are not progressive. Now if we could only order the springs as an economical stage 1 upgrade . . .

I'll have to look more closely at the Raptor conversion. The last time I looked at one of those threads it seemed really involved. Seemed liked there's room in the aftermarket for a bolt-on non-Raptor long-travel kit.

I'm really surprised that neither of them offers longer LCAs to increase travel

It never ceases to amaze me how many people want to blame themselves for this. How about some self respect? I've never had this in 75,000 miles of jeeps.

First time Ford owner here. Never even test drove before I bought my Bronco. I love it and intend on staying with a Bronco for a very very long time. It’s my dream vehicle. Seriously dismayed by the windshield cracking at 1,300 miles. I hope they're willing to repair the root causes. I'm...

Thinking about the numbers a bit more : Icon stage 3 gives you 10.4" of front travel (6.93" strut travel x 1.5 motion ratio) ? With 3" of lift that's 7.2" front uptravel and 3.2" front downtravel ? Do the fronts top out with this set-up ?

My experience has been that you won't get the best advice from a shop. They'll play it safe and recommend a kit. No kit is good enough, no kit is complete enough. Having a vehicle like this provides once-in-lifetime motivation to read up and educate yourself, so you can get a result that...

Yes, absolutely. A thinner oil changes the pitch of the engine noise. Before I was knowledgeable about oil, I tried, in sequence, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 10W-30, AMSOil's Signature product (in a Kia 3.3 Lambda MPi G6DB). The pitch of the engine noise differed with each. With 0W-30, it sounded...

(1) Body lift, and (2) it seems most would favor the JKS Max Tire Kit. Suspension lift should be minimal with IFS. However, it's beneficial to have slightly more uptravel than downtravel. I would see if the body lift allows you to gain a fraction of an inch of uptravel by replacing the...

- 75,000 miles on jeeps with upright windshields, never a chip - 1,300 miles on bronco, twin stress fractures
