Flatout Suspension Installed w/photos

Well it's been a long process but it's done. I have really benefited by this forum since I bought my Big Bend over a year ago starting with getting the engine cover, tire options, 1" spacers and now the lift. I went to Flatouts website and they listed Hiro's Hotrods out of Kent, WA as one of their sellers and installers. This was the first one they did and Hiro did a fantastic job. We were a bit delayed on the install because he really felt that we needed the optional Adjustable Control Arms which Flatout shipped overnight but the first set were lost in shipping so took a bit longer. I had the GR Lite installed because it's mostly for looks and feel. I noticed the difference right away on just the feel of about two inches taller... doesn't seem like much, but it is. I will always surf this site for even more ideas... Thanks Hiro... Also I also listed my original rims on the marketplace....

Glad to see someone besides me post pics of their Flatout's. If I remember right, the GR Lite's are not inverted and the height adjustment, is the collar, on the threaded Base and not the bottom spring perch, which is only used to preload the spring?
Another member here, tells me his front, GR 40's are different than my GR +'s, as in Flatout made a change in the design, with a fixed sway bar link mount, not the adjustable one, like I have and are now shipping the fronts with a 14", 175lbs spring, for the Badlands.

What lengths and rates came with your Lite's?
Hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine!
Here is mine, with a 2” lift but dirty, from my last off road trip.

I honestly don't know. I ordered the parts through the installer and never saw them until he sent me that image and wasn't aware of any changes or any details on specs.... Rides nice too..

How are you enjoying the Mickeys? Mine have been great so far.

11” all the way down the middle ~1/3 of the car, even with the HRG skid plate. 12.625” at the bottom of the front jack point and 13.5” at the rear jack point.
For anyone else with ???, please post them here... https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/flatout-suspension-ordered-installed.6073/
and let Mr. Ed have his own thread.

No worries... thanks Bluebaru.....

Have you guys had any issues with the product or the company? I'm considering the GR Plus kit with a shop install, but there are some horror stories out there from Subaru and Rav4 communities.
