Bit the bullet and Bilstein 8110/8112 are on the way

[Easy-v]

Well, I can see the last payment on the Bronco on the horizon, and have a good 50K miles on my 2022 Bad Squatch. I've decided that I want to upgrade to a better more versatile suspension, and have went ahead and ordered the Bilstein 8110/12.

I want to be able to tune out the nose dive and body roll, and my stock sas 35's have proven for the most part to be sufficient for the off roading scenarios that I've been faced with, and anticipate encountering. So I am ok with essentially locking myself into 35's. I don't think I need any farther reach/flex - and I'm ok there too.

Looking to see if I should keep the stock SAS height, or maybe goose it a little higher?
Any other tips and tricks that others who have been down this trail can give?

Beware: biting bullets can cost as much as expensive suspension in dental bills.

Ooooo fancy. Looking forward to the before/after pics!

Pics, and an extensive report on settings that you end up preferring - 5 paragraphs at least!

Sometimes I want more lift/articulation for greater ease on level 5-6-6.5 trails so I think about a Ride extended shock/diff drop install (maybe even keep 35's, maybe go with 37's or 38)'s but the time/effort/$ always has me returning to sticking with the existing strengths/weaknesses of the Bronco's SAS setup and just going the route you have...
