Purchase HOSS 3.0 Suspension

[BroncoRuss]

It would provide a little lift over a non-sas suspension, yes. It's about the same height as the sasquatch suspension, which is a little higher than non-sas.

In case you were still wondering. Made the swap. Same spec as you. Awesome upgrade. Had my shop measure the lift those numbers are at the top right. About 2” in the front and 1” in the back. I’m sure it’s settled some since then as well.

Hello

My Bronco is sasquatch with the HOSS 2.0. In the past, I've drove a Wildtrak with the HOSS 3.0 setup for a while and really liked it.

Is it possible to purchase the springs/shocks from the HOSS 3.0 setup? I assume it would be a fairly easy swap, but I'm wondering where to get the parts. Has anyone done this?

Why would I replace Ford junk with more Ford junk ????? Makes no sense !

Because it's not Ford, it's Fox?

Just like the so called bilsteins. To each his own. When I replace mine it will be with the real thing

By this logic the fox’s adaptive shocks on the raptors aren’t real either. Bizarre take.

In my experience the Ford and FP are excelent in fumction, fit amd durability prese ting the lowest risk and highest value options untill one syards packi g on hundreds of lbs of accessries and wheels etc.

In this case buy the best you can afford, get a fully loaded front and rear axle weight for the suspension tuning guys amd hand it over to them along wih your use case.

I do recommend to buy an extra set of axel bolts just in case. The bolts are super soft and bent one.

luckily the dealership had a spare one

You got a part number for that? Doing research rn for a potential deal on a used set of HOSS 3.0

Ford doesn't make their own shocks for the Bronco. At least non that I know of.
The Fox, Bilstein and even the Hitachis have been decent performers. Yes the Bilsteins had issues with quality- not actual performance when they were good. They are designed for a specific Bronco application even if it is with cost in mind. Technically given lower cost of scale... They might actually have more effort put into them than any aftermarket option. Just because you can get more specific application shocks or more expensive ones... doesn't mean they are "the real thing" or actually any better. All it means is someone needs to cover the expense of designing and manufacturing them.
OE shocks are designed with everyday usability in mind and the occasional off roading. They will always be a tradeoff. If you would use the vehicle foe one specific case only, by all means build it up specifically for that, but for the wide range of use... there probably isn't anything better that he OE designed ones.
