Bronco Sport Badlands - Lift Options

[NMhunter]

I got the HRG lift a couple of years ago. I'm liking it just fine. I just got taller tires installed on my Badlands. They are 23570R17. It gives me another 1/2" of clearance with no rubbing. It also changed the speedometer from reading a bit too high to reading a bit too low.

I bought the Bilstein B8; I'll post about it later in this thread.

It's been 10 days, any luck?

Shocks have been purchased and are being shipped to Argentina via courier. I will have updates in two weeks.

Do you know if this is a straight swap or a kit with other parts included?

@Garth - It includes a spacer puck for the rear, but no different sway bar links, control arms/etc. If you're coming from a non-Bandlands/1st ed/sasquatch, Ford makes a more complete kit with what I suspect are the same Bilstein struts.

U only need to add the springs of the OEM shocks, nothing more .. and enjoy

I have a 2025 Badlands, I was concerned these wouldnt be any different than stock.
Right now they are on sale so it should bee under $1000 which is pretty good, plus an alignment check.

What I would really like is just to get the front up 1” but the manufacturers Ive contacted say their spacers arent compatible with a 2025 Badlands.

Well it looks like my questions were answered, the Bilstein shocks come with hardware to get the lift in the back like you said so I have them in my shopping cart and tomorrow when my visa resets I will place the order. I cant say I will install them right away though work has been slow and the toy fund is low.

Updates: The B8 Terrasport arrived in my city (Mar del Plata, Argentina). Next week I’ll call my mechanic to install it on my Bronco Sport (Wildtrak/Badlands trim). I’m already running BFG Trail-Terrain 235/65 R17 tires and plan to keep that setup. I don't wanna changes to the vehicle’s electronics or drivetrain settings (no ECU/TCU recalibration).

I added a 1.5 inch leveling kit to my 23 Badlands. I’ll have to wait a few years to get the bigger tires. Unfortunately Discount Tire doesn’t give you credit for tires anymore.
