Rides better, sits a little bit higher and less rake than the Bilsteins. My HOSS 3.0 Fox are from a 4 door Wildtrak, not sure if it had the towing package.

Notes:

Just measuring from my garage floor to the flares I had almost 2 inches of rake before. Now it's about it's a little less than 1.25". I didn't really do any other before and after measurements but gained enough in the front to need an alignment.

The ride is more plush than before. I'm not feeling all of those jittery bumps that I did before with the Bilsteins. I need more seat time though to really give a better review of them since I just took it for a quick ride after finishing the install today. I could immediately feel the extra height in the front, which is what I wanted. I just did the coil-overs, not the steering rack.

Front axle retaining nut socket size: 35mm
Rear lower shock mount nut socket size: 30mm
Rear lower shock mount bolt head socket size: 27mm

The rear lower shock bolt 27mm socket fit a little loose, but was all I had in the size range, but wasn't an issue since I torqued the nut side anyway. Didn't even need to hold the bolt head since I torqued them with full weight of the Bronco, jackstands under the rear axle.

Unfortunately I haven’t taken hardly any pics after the install. It does sit higher, but only by about .5”. This is the only pic I have of it on its own 4 feet and another pic with the size comparison between the 2 shocks

Hey question. Did you press out and reuse your hoss 2.0 bolts on your 3.0? I'm getting ready to install some takeoffs and the 3.0 suspension has those bolts pressed out so I'm wondering if I can press my 2.0 suspension bolts out and then reuse them. Thanks!
