2” Spacers or springs lift kit?

[BroncoVegas19]

I’m looking to add a 2” lift to my Badlands Non SAS. 2.7
I want to remove the stock 33”wheel/tires
and add some 35”.

Would I be OK with a
ZONE 2 inch spacer leveling lift kit?

Or do I need to do something like an
EIBACK Pro Lift kit (springs only)

???




besides being my daily driver. I do plan on doing some offroading on the weekends.
I do consider myself a beginner, so I don’t feel like I’ll be doing any major rock crawling trails for now.
but as I gain experience, down the line, I could try some more intermediate / advanced trails.

Spacers would keep the same ride characteristics. Changing springs would change ride unless some time was spent on design to match OEM ride. Sure someone with more suspension knowledge will chime in.

Spacer will allow the components to extend beyond what they were designed to do. Street driving that's not a big deal. For off-roading but the different story.

I have the 2inch zone lift on mine. With 35s
it rides great both on an off road..
I highly recommend it. I love the stance now

I’m looking to do the same thing. How do the 35s affect performance?

I have a 2 inch spacer lifted and a sasquatch, i'd say the road ride is equal. But for extreme off-roading i'd go with springs or sasquatch take offs

Other then fuel mileage it doesn't. Rides just as nice as stock

You realize that you don't need a suspension lift to jump up to 35s? I kept my non-SAS wheels, wrapped them in Kenda 35 x 10.50 tires and pulled the crash bars...no rub at all full stuff/full lock. If going with a 12.50 wide tire on the non-SAS +55mm offset wheel you'll need a 1" wheel spacer to avoid rubbing the UCA even if you do the spacer lift.

I'm going with Bilstein 6100s all around. I think ford performance has some shocks that adjust for non SAS as well for another option. Or I will have SAS shocks for sale soon.

I actually prefer it with the 35 and spacers vs the 33 it came with
I love the ride

Just add the Bilstein 5100 kit - its about $450 and install would be around $900+/-
you dont need new springs
spacers are sketch

Thank you for this

Thank you for this reply, definitely an option. I’m gonna start researching now

I was looking to add some aftermarket wheels
Fuel Rebel 6 (17x9)
bf goodrich ko2 35”
From what I read online. In order to not rub, I would have to have a 2” lift
I’m still trying to figure out if this is true or just playing it safe
