Lift/Leveling Kits-H E L P!

[B-rad351]

I have a 2024 Badlands with the Sasquatch package and the Hoss 2.0 yellow shocks and I had a leveling kit installed at ORW (Off-Road Warehouse).
The kit was a 1.25" leveling kit with part number REA 66-21100 according to the invoice I have.
Googling the part number and you find this:

I have no issues with the leveling kit and/or alignment or any other issues.

Does it sit level now? Any pics?

Before... photo days before I received it:

After the level kit was installed:

Without a tape measure, the photos don't show how much rake there was prior to the leveling kit. It sat about 1" lower in the front.
It sits about a 1/4" higher in the front after the install.

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Indeed I agree, but I live in a small town and next closest shop is a couple hours away. What surprised me was, they been doing lifts on all kinds of trucks for decades! The guy I was working with has been there for decades as well.

Yeah he either doesn't know what he's doing, or is trying to milk you for money. I would have a talk with the owner.

You are absolutely right and I will do just that. Thanks for your reply.

No problem. Good luck!

It really depends on how much you are looking to lift the truck. From the factory, there is usually around a 3/4" rake with the rear being higher. If you want to lift the front around 1-1.5" and the rear around .5-3/4" then some of the spacer style lifts should work fine and not be a big deal. But it takes the same amount of labor to do that as it does a coilover lift like the Eibach, Fox, 4WP/Procomp adjustable coilovers so if you were thinking of going higher in the future, the adjustable lifts have some added value. But you need to decide for sure since some of the adjustable stuff has minimum lifts which might be more than you want. My guess is that you would be happy with around the 3/4 in front and if you do that, it's worth having the stock studs removed from the front coilovers and using the longer bolts to make it easier to swap out in the future. I'm 59 and back in the spring I swapped out the stock stuff for the 4WP/ProComp coilovers myself with a bad shoulder. Here ar the pics showing before and after:

Stock Sas susp and 35's:

4WP/ProComp adj coilovers set pretty low with 37's:

I can turn down the fronts a little more but the back is at the lowest setting so that might be more than you are looking for. It's always good to ask questions to get some real life answers whenever possible. You may want to post a picture of your truck so people can get a better idea of what you're looking to do.

And if you go a little too high in the back you will most likely need the trackbar relocation bracket to help keep the rear centered. I figured that out pretty quick. My truck drives great the way it is set up at this point and I'm not going any higher.

Thank you for such a thorough and professional reply. I hadn’t thought about the future and possibly going higher. It makes perfect sense to do what you did with your now adjustable suspension.
Your Bronco is gorgeous and now I will consider your opinion along with the others who took the time to reply.
Here are a few pictures of my Bronco and at this juncture, I am looking to level up or go 2” front and less in the rear. I don’t want to replace the wheels/tires until these are worn down and if it’s lifted too much now, won’t look right.
