Found mine 750 miles from me. Correct build, but wrong color. Originally wanted Hot Pepper, but White was my second choice. Drove my car and trailer to pick it up and drove back. 1,100 miles in three days, and I haven't even driven it more than 150 feet. Badlands, Sas, Lux and leather. Mods ordered.

Wow, Jim! That's one gorgeous Bronco you've got there. Thanks a ton for sharing this amazing photo with us.

How much lift does the GRT perch collars give you? And did you add UCA?

I have a 23 with HOSS 3.0 and am thinking of RPG or Foutz collars and 37” KO2’s

No need to change UCA’s if you keep the factory shocks. Perch collars just move the stroke of the shock higher up, but eye-to-eye shock length is the same.
Perch collars allowed me to run 37x13.5”Cooper’s on my non-Sas Badlands.

What collar did you use? Any trimming required?

RPG 2.25" front with 1.25" rear. JKS Max Clearance kit was also required.

Thanks! I’m trying to avoid cutting. I see folks with the 3”/2.25” RPG setup are clearing lock to lock and Offroad with a 0 offset 17x8.5/9 wheel. Are you running spacers?

No wheel spacers, factory +30 Sas wheel offset. Mine just looks poked because I still run non-Sas flares.
I think 0 offset just makes you hit the rear of the fender sooner instead of the forward crash bar. I also had to trim the rock rails.
" I’m trying to avoid cutting " = Not going to run 37's.

Multiple folks are running 0 offset with success without cutting and trimming. Hopefully I’m one of them lol. Gonna try it out

On a Raptor Yes, but any other trim will rub in off-road situations, unless you also add a Body Lift........🤔

Many have tried 37's, but none that I know of have got it done without cutting something. The Team at Carli Suspension couldn't run 37's with King shocks without removing the inner fenders and making different flares. They found 0 offset made clearance issues worse for themselves so they use Sas wheels with +30 offset. 🤷‍♂️

I still rub the flares myself, so I am looking at going to 6112's with heavier springs up front (or a 3/4" body lift).

Understand and thanks for the link! I was mostly going off of the following link - https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/the-ultimate-37s-38s-tread.65684/ and reports in the “HOSS 3.0 Lift Options” thread

I won’t be rock crawling or jumping just moderate offroad and would be using a smaller BFG 37 from my Raptor which now has 39’s. Planning on going with RPG Collars 3”/2.25”

Just get it done so we can have more data points for the others to learn from (y)
I'm not sure if @Bmadda has a build page about his lift, but his Bronco gave me a "little man" complex in Moab.....

I didn't want to keep the OBX badges, and I didn't want to do the Bronco script again... so I went this route. They're on the small side, but I am pretty happy- I think they're a good alternative!

I agree. I put mine on the front pillars of the MIC top.

I never did a build thread cause I just plain didn't think about it, but it was pretty simple...2" of body lift+2" of eibach springs on stock squatch suspension. Gradually doing the same w/the non-squatch, but even on a BL the squatch factor is there...the non-squatch always looks like "little brother". It was always the same w/Jeeps for me too..."hey, I could get another inch by doing X" and so on it goes!
