a 245 will rub without a lift. It’s not possible for it to fit properly without a lift.
also don't get the rough country lift. It will break. My sway bar end link brackets snapped on one side and severely bent on the other side, not to mention the blot quality is crap and it makes your vehicle...
Everyone has their own personal reasons for what they want and will enjoy.
where I get irritated is the people who claim the 1.5 isn’t even capable of making it up a mountain pass at the speed limit and you will have to go slower than other cars besides truck traffic.
the 1.5L is more than...
Palomar divide road is very easy and an epic trail with great scenery.
anza borrego has some great spots and so does the trail off the 8 and spring valley road.
The 1.5L is nowhere near underpowered at 181hp and 190TQ. In nearly 7,000 miles I have never once felt like I was underpowered at all.
I have driven/used/owned all speeds of cars from fast bmws, V8 lexus SUV, Touareg diesel, Prius, Holden commodore, several golfs and skoda and numerous rentals...
Sorry to say this but the bronco sport 1.5L will go up every mountain pass at speeds in excess of the speed limit. My golf tdi with 136 HP could do that.
also think of it this way I used to drive a bmw 5 series with the 2.8 6 cylinder which made the same power as the sport 1.5 in a heavier car...
Curious about why you would buy this other than looks? I do admit it looks good but there is no protection from animal strikes and it does provide any coverage in areas you would hit off road.
I’d prefer an arb safari style bull bar
Please please please take off the sway bar end links from the rough country kit. Both mine and another forum members have snapped. One of my brackets fully snapped off and the other bent.
you can put the oem ford links back in safely and the car handles better. If you don’t take them off make...
they will be fine until you go off road and you have to turn at full articulation. In that case they will 100% rub.
it’s not the height of the tire it’s the width
the kit 100% voids your warranty. You mess with the suspension with non authorized non oem components you lose warranty on suspension and related parts if the damage is caused by the parts you installed.
however the warranty on the car is not void And they have to fix anything not related to...
what is this fix? I took off the sway bar end links because the brackets snapped, and I replaced them with the stock sway bar end links and the car drives way way better
not to mention rough country was not helpful when I called and wouldn’t allow me to speak with their engineering team.
I...
well the issue could be my poor installation too we noticed that we put the bracket on backwards. The drop was the same. The instructions were literally horrible.
is there really a big difference in spacer lift kits? They seem to all function the same and would be made of similar materials
now the end links and bolts seemed pretty crappy
Yes they said to measure to 9 1/4 inches which we did. Nowhere did it say to expand them once installed or anything. We did install the bracket wrong upon further inspection looking on the online photos versus the horrible black and white instructions booklet that we used to install which was...
Well I snapped the sway bar link drop bracket on a mild 2/10 off road trail. One side fully snapped off and disconnected and the other side seriously bent.
I have gone back to the OEM sway bar end links without the drop bracket. As far as I can tell this should work fine as the 2 other kits a...
