Going by the ford website I am 1" inch higher than a stock BL using the combination of the springs and 245/65R17 TiresHow many inches did you gain
That’s the beauty of the springs, their is no grinding, that is one of the reasons I went with the springs.Does H&R recommend trimming metal like the spacer lifts do? I am trying to avoid needing to grind anything…
Measured the advertised 1.2" and a little some.Did you measure the wheel wells before and after? Looks good. Waiting for my Badlands with the tire upgrade!
Yes, they are badland wheels with 245/65R17 tiresLooks Good - are those Badlands Wheels that you have on there?
I didn't want to grind the struts and wanted to maintain as much of the ride quality as I can wich it did, here is the press release from their website that made me make the final decisionFinally a reasonable lift done right !
I never did like the Idea of spacers. 1.2” plus a tad more to comp for a little spring settling.
I am assuming they have the same spring rate as stock so you can still use all your travel.
The new Ford Bronco Sport has a stylish rugged look ready for your adventure. H&R ride engineers have developed adventure-raising springs for off pavement exploring and overland excursions.

Went to the beach to flex it every possible way and the bottom of the shock never touched the cv axle.I’d say you’d need to grind the bottom of the strut a little regardless of lift since you are still changing the angles. And bringing shaft closer to strut with flex. Plus the spring will give more flex than a spacer and allow more upward travel. Takes two min to do. Not sure why you wouldn’t.
Looks good and I love the rally innovations skid plate; just wish it was a tighter fit around the edges.Went to the beach to flex it every possible way and the bottom of the shock never touched the cv axle.
