  1. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    MASSIVE UPDATE!!!!! The lift is installed!! I set it up to be 1.5" higher than stock, which keeps the OEM rake (rear sits a touch higher). I did this because I have to expiriment with different set ups. If you notice in the rear, it's +1.5" and I haven't even adjusted the rear...
  2. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    We are including rear camber arms and toe spacers in all three versions of our GR models. The only thing left to test fit is the subframe spacer kit. Lifting a multi-link to 1.5-2" is a very modest lift in relation to driveline stress.

    They are good 'ole 2.5" ID springs! I'm actually toying with the idea of offering these with the Eibach barrel springs as we have them fitted to the testers. Alternatively, I really like King springs as they are more offroad than Hypercos. For the springs, 12" front and back allows for a quick...
  4. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    Teaser time! Next step is to test the spring rates. I’m installing a set of soft Eibach barrel springs because I’m a candidate for our comfort spec rates. *production versions will use blue King Offroad springs. I had these here, so they’re the testers. Our King spring order is inbound an due...

    I’m sorry, I thought I had replied. You wanted to make sure we had you down as a Bad Lands model if I recall. Done and noted.
  6. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    If any of you like technical data, here's the dyno report of the OEM shocks... BLUE is the FRONT shock RED is the REAR shock
  7. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    The latter. I think at least in the rear, we will need to develop a 1-1.5” subframe drop to correct cv angles for lifting over 2”.
  8. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    The BL is just slightly longer to gain a true +2” lift. If you want 3” of lift, that’s what you’d want to get. Just be aware there some difficulty getting alignment to OEM spec.
  9. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    The noise wasn’t in early models or from anything like “oops, we don’t know what we’re doing”, rather it was during the pandemic lock down when the supply chain stopped. The manufacturer that makes our shock travel limiter (internal bumpstop) had zero supply and we had to source another which...
  10. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    We’ve actually done the pre-order style during development a lot and don’t necessarily require it. We’ve been pretty well established to the point a lot of peopletake into account we know what we’re doing due to experience in the market. Look at it this way, people pre-order cars before they...

    That's why we have designations for trim, Bad Lands will be 2" over OEM Bad Lands height. If you picked Bad Lands and had a Big Bend, you'd end up over 2", nearing 3".
  12. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    That is a thought we had, we can also make a “deep dish” top mount (I don’t have an example close by to show). We have options for sure.
  13. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    The problem with that style mount, notice the threaded shaft coming up through the offset bearing? That is where I foresee clearance issues. The ONLY way I can see that mount style being used is by enlarging (cutting) the hole in the strut tower larger, otherwise, it won't work. The top of the...
  14. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    This should offer some clarity about the hole, how the shaft doesn’t have much wiggle room, etc. That hole might be more like a quarter vs a half-dollar.
  15. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    I fully understand! We're just bound by that little opening. Not sure what hugging the "10 o'clock" portion of the hole will do for caster/camber, but you seem to be describing our offset mount we make for Subaru (which has a HUGE opening in the strut tower). This wouldn't be entirely...
  16. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    The hardest part about the top mount is how it's closed off at the top. That's going to effect how much angle we can get from a camber plate. If you pop the little cover off on the cowl, you'll see what I mean, There's a half-dollar sized hole and the shock shaft sits just above the plane of the...
  17. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    Good question, easy answer! The lift isn’t going to be ready to test fit for another 2 weeks or so. Right now, we have 106 orders to build and ship so that slows us down quite a bit. The pic is just a “before”.

  19. Flatout Suspension lift suspension!!

    Hello everyone!! This is my first post (wanted to wait for vendor status), so just wanted to give a little product update, a bit about us, the usual stuff. I've chimed in on a topic or two here, but felt the need to establish more presence. So, I'm here to promote our suspension lift. I know...
  20. FlatOut Suspension ordered & Installed

    I got the figures from a Ford document somewhere. Maybe early figures. A dealer 10 miles away has a Badlands inbound (I didn’t feel like waiting, I’m too impulsive haha). Once it arrives, I’m gonna climb around underneath. No matter what though, if 2” lift is your goal, we’re going to get you...
