Yes they are already well over 40". And the more lift and bigger ger tires they get higher and higher.
And I can confirm the manual is totally fine with the water. 😉
This was me stuck in a hole a week or so ago. Didn't look like much, but I'm siting on the frame rails.. 😁
The winch quit on me, and had no luck with a static pull. Actually technically got my friend stuck also and had to dig a little to get her out.
Had to run into town and buy a Badlands...
Gotcha! I'm running the 4WP/ProComps. I've been really great, they do get a little noisy sometimes and I have to grease them. But I do like that they are greaseable. Also I got them for like $60 bucks so definitely worth the price of admission for me. 😁
I really don't know what I would go with...
Wow you definitely got lucky! Those things seem to want to work loose.
I started getting a clunk every now and then when we were out in Moab, and finally figured out that my driver's front UCA was just barely loose. Can't believe you didn't have any noise. I kept snugging it up, but didn't...
Nice! I'm running 37/12.50s on these. Because the wheels are so narrow they measure out at about 12 inches, which I like. I have a second set of the BD's stealies that I thought about getting weld on beadlocks put on. But honestly they would just be crazy heavy at that point. It would help with...
Also I forgot to mention earlier that I originally did the Steeda spring for my Focus RS because it suffered a similar strangeness with the clutch pedal. It's definitely a minimal improvement, but it's also really cheap and relatively easy to do. So bit of a win-win.
That's a really interesting read! Never really thought about the potential for transmission damage. Considering possible issues with synchros and whatnot in our transmissions already definitely gives me a little bit of pause. Especially while running the 37s and beating it up off road.
Yeah mushy is definitely the right word. The Steeda clutch return spring helped a little bit, feels slightly more linear I think. I'm wondering if this will improve even further. And yeah whenever I need to do a clutch, single mass flywheel is for sure happening.
You know the more I think bout it, the Hitachi's aren't worth the effort to reinstall. I would do take off yellow Bilsteins if you can get low mileage ones for a good price. You'll get much more benefit than just the lift.
Plenty of other reasons, like a lift.
Edit: Sorry I guess I didn't read your post all the way. Just because you are taking it apart to upgrade, doesn't mean something you find broken can't be covered under warranty.
Obviously not in this case of course.. Lol
Yep! I've played around with my Focus like that and couldn't help but try it in the Bronco.
Definitely not the best thing for the synchros I'm sure, but in a pinch. Basically if you lightly tug on the shifter and feather the throttle going up it will pop in place if you get it right.
