Badgers 2025 Base Big Bend - Need Input

So If the price is the same to install coil overs vs spacers what would you recommend from 4Wp that would keep the job under $2k (If possible)? Looking at no more than 2"

Installed? I think to stay under $2k your stuck with spacers, or learning to do it yourself

ProComp will run you around $1500 for coil overs + UCA - that puts you at around $2300 installed

Panda has a great deal on Eibachs for around $1900, plus install on that puts you around $2700

Spacers are less expensive - no doubt. But buy once cry once is often said around here and it’s advice I keep learning over and over myself

Have them quote you some naked Bilstein 5100's (or 6100's) and reuse your current springs and top hat. I'm not sure how much more labor they would charge for the parts swapping, but at least they would warranty it, unlike if you brought them shocks purchased elsewhere.

Case in point - I have my HOSS 1.0 takeoffs with RC 2.5” spacers already installed you can have for a case of beer if you pick them up

My 4WP offered me this option but I don't remember how much they quoted me - I think the 5100s are only like 100something clams a corner, if you reuse springs you can probably float in under $2k.

You’d still need spacers for lift though wouldn’t you?

The 5100 and 6100's have adjustable height circlips to preload the springs to provide lift to a desired level (2.5" Max).

Thanks - I forgot about that!

So I decided to start with new wheels and 33x10.5 17 tires + just bought the complete Ford Skid set. I will have to mod the front since I don't have the modular bumper that is fits with. Looks like I will be cutting some steel.

I am not understanding why you want a lift ?

That tire size does not require a lift. Save yourself $2,000….

Lift still gets your belly up. Diff will still hang but it helps a lot breaking over.
I'm lifted over stock 33s
