Next up was a set of 1.25" Bora wheel spacers. These added just enough tire poke and fixed the scrub radius which helped steering feel. Bonus was they added some extra stability. Really happy with the whole package at this point.
Have had three sets of tires on our Bronco and live in the Northwest:
General Grabber ATx 265/70 R17 - Came from factory, ran these for 3 months. Picked up and threw tons of stones. Every 10mph, more stones would fling out. Not fun to hear them pelt the doors at highway speeds even many miles...
If the springs are the same fitment between the Hoss 2.0 and 3.0, does that mean a 2.0 bilstein strut collar/preload spacer would work on the 3.0 fox shocks?
I really only want about .5" to .75" more ride height in the rear.
I appreciate your help. Here is the source of my confusion:
This member said he installed a set of Fox Shocks from a 4 door Wildtrak with 'AYB' front springs with a purple/pink tag and 'AYB' rear springs with a brown/yellow tag:

What is the part number for the stiffest factory rear spring for the Wildtrak with Fox Hos 3.0 suspension (4dr) ? Can these be purchased from Ford?
I'm aware that there are several different spring rates that come from the factory. I was finding conflicting information on which engineering...
That is a long haul! Hope you had a good trip. Lots to see and do around here, but most of the fun trails aren't marked. One trick is to look at the USFS Interactive Visitor Map to find high clearance roads that look to lead to interesting places in the National Forest.- then hope they aren't...
Next mod was a set of Hoss 3.0 Fox take-offs from a Wildtrak.
The factory Hoss 1.0 Hitachi shocks didn't really pair well with the extra weight of the 34" Toyo Tires. There was a decent amount of bounce from bumps and impacts. We looked at a few options, but decided that Fox Hoss 3.0 takeoffs...
Next mod was a set of ZRoadz step/ sliders.
I was going between a few different options when I saw the ZRoadz for sale at a discount for $300 on their website. I ordered and not too long after they called me to explain that it was a pricing error on their end and couldn't sell for that price...
Nope. Just downloaded everything last night. A.S.S. remembers the setting. Doesn't turn back on even after driving it around all day. Have owned the Bronco since new. No eliminator installed.
Just installed our ProCal tune yesterday 12/30/24 and I was pleasantly surprised that my auto-start-stop remained off when I drove it again today. So the A.S.S. memory feature hasn't been removed from the latest version of the calibration like some have reported.
First real mod was a set of tires
I wanted a bit more ground clearance and less rock throwing. Didn't want to ruin the fuel economy, the ride or do any other mods so we settled on the largest tires that would fit without removing the crash bars: (34"x11.5") 285/75R17 LR C Toyo Open Country A/T...
Thanks! We didn't know what we were missing living here without a capable vehicle. The Bronco has really opened our eyes to just how much is out here. I've really been enjoying scouring satellite maps for neat areas then going out to explore. It's also nice to have a vehicle to get out in the...
