I would like to lift my Badlands about an inch. No more as I don’t think stock wheels and 33’s are wide enough to match. Thoughts? Any pics? Something standard shop can align as I don’t know any quality custom shops here.

Are you wanting to raise the front and rear 1" or just the front?

Is your Badlands a Sasquatch model or no?

I did the zone 2in with 33s and it looked great then upgraded to 35s

The work required to add a small 1" lift is the same as installing new lifted shocks. Expect to spend 2 hours per corner if you do it yourself. Personally, I wish I had added the Eibach springs to my Badlands shocks instead of the perch collars.

It’s not worth expense for new shocks, for me.

33’s look small with that much lift. Looks great with the 35’s.

Can I ask what model of Eibach springs you purchased? I also have a BL 2DR and this is something I'd prefer to do compared to the sping perch/spacer options.

My Badlands after installing the zone 2” lift (and UCA’s). I think that one is the way to go…it didn’t take very long to want an additional lift after I leveled it 😅

35 with FE wheels look absolutely perfect!

It’s does. I just can’t ditch the stock wheels and 33’s. Besides FL off roading doesn’t require much lift.

If you check out the link I posted above it has info on the install. But eibach springs designed for the sasquatch on my non sasquatch badlands (same shock essentially). 33's right now, but going to 35's as soon as I have time to get them mounted/balanced.

I wish there was an option to not have the Eibach springs level the truck. I’m concerned if I do the spring lift, I’ll be *too* level—so when I put a bike rack on the hitch, I’ll be squatting. You’d have to do all the install work before evaluating… then do it all again to add a rear spacer if needed.
