I see a lot of the lifts say “not for badland” and I assume it’s because it already has a 1” lift from the factory.
Does anyone know of a lift for the badlands? Take out the 1” and put in a 1 1/2” for a lift of 1/2” over stock?
I’ve got Dana 60’s and 39” swampers in the garage for a solid axle swap but the wife just said “ahh, NO” turned around and walked away?????

Hrg carries one for bandlands 1.25” and I believe ford ranger lifts carry one also

Hey guys, I was looking for a leveling kit for the Wildtrak that soon arrives, and I wanted to be the most straightforward possible. I came across this:
https://www.stage3motorsports.com/fdbr-21-22-bronco-sport-auto-spring-2-front-leveling-kit.html

Do you think 2" would be a little too much if the idea is leveling it?
Also, it seems to be a very different approach. What do you think?

BTW a Wildtrak model is a Badlands with all the packages. It is sold under that name in Chile and Argentina.

2" is definitely stretching the suspension components to their limit. There isn't a lift available over 2" (yet) because it would require replacement parts like struts, A-arms, mounting point brackets, ect. I'm guessing that lift would wear out the bushings a little faster if you used it off road a bunch.
I haven't heard any complaints about that lift but if leveling is what your looking for a 1.5" or RTR's 1.3" is definitely the way to go.

Does anyone know if RTR's spacers are aluminum? They look like they are and that might be a decision maker for me.

Never mind, I answered my own question.
YES THEY ARE.
That's big. No corrosion, reduced metal damage to the strut or mount (not that there would be if installed correctly).
Thas awesome.
I live in the north east where massive amounts of salt are used on Slippery roads. Eliminating a point for rust to "grow" from is a priority.

I actually spoke with the folks at Auto Spring and I confirmed that the 2" spring lift is for the front only, which I thought was weird. It will only lift the front, and since the rear is usually only around 0.25 inches higher than the front, the "level lift" will lift the front higher than the rear by 1.75 inches. They said some of the Sports they have gotten from the dealership sit up higher in the rear (maybe even higher than 0.25 inches), so they developed the front lift springs to level it out.

Happy dance as my HRG Engineering 1.5" kit arrived today :like: as soon as I get it back from getting tint and PPF off it will go for new tires and HRG lift install and alignment
What PPF are you going to use? I was thinking that an Xpel Stealth plus ceramic coating would look nice and could add a little protection.

Good to see them listed in one place, I was unaware of the RTR. Eibach was reported to be working on one, some time ago. Also, I'm hoping someone comes out with something other than just a spacer lift, maybe that will be Eibach.
im the guy with the eibach lift kit. works perfectly so far, no idea when they're going to start producing them
