Anyone planning on 2” factory lift kit from Ford Performance Parts for their Bronco?

[kodiakisland]

For anyone experienced in lifting other IFS trucks, should we expect Ford to publish guidelines for what is allowable on the axle angle so there is not undo stress put on the CV Joints, Camber Angle, etc? I assume we would want this information to know any aftermarket kit under consideration would not void our warranty?

Ford isn't going to replace CVs or any other front suspension wear item under warranty with any lift. I expect to replace coilovers and probably UCAs as soon as the aftermarket has them ready. I don't really care about the warranty on Ford suspension parts as I don't plan to have many of them anyway. Should be able to go at least 2 inches without any worries and probably a bit more. There will be diff drops and other fixes for higher lifts.

May not need to lift the Bronco as high to fit the big stuff though. Seems like they designed it with lots of room. Hopefully there's no body mounts to be cut like on the Toyotas or anything else in the way.

I am for sure doing it. I like that it’s factory. I lifted my F150 and had lots of problems. The idea that it is factory is super appealing.

Typically 3" and under no changes are made to the dropout. The 6" kit includes a dropout drop that in all the ones I've seen involves cutting the frame, so its a one way ticket. I have never seen a 4.5" kit for IFS. I worked at a dealership from 1990 to 2004 and in all that time I NEVER once saw a customer denied any warranty claim because their truck was lifted. Things may be different now. Your warranty only covers parts that are factory, but, thats of course expected. I would be very surprised if any Bronco owner is denied any warranty claim on any factory part due to the fact that a lift kit may have caused premature wear to the factory part. Certainly wouldn't fit w/Ford's marketing strategy for this vehicle.

37s or bust

Here is an interesting photo I was looking for of the Orange 2 door running 37's. This is no 44, it's looks to be a custom trussed 9". I would love to run 37's, but I do not think the 44's are up to the task to do so reliably on the trail & it looks like Ford agrees.

From what I remember reading here, I think they were saying that is a raptor rear axle.

IF there is a 2" lift over what the Squatch package gives you....and its available at ordering....I will definitely get it....the extra clearance over the 35's will be great...not to mention it would look pretty nice as well

We now know one of the Cyber Orange Broncos showcased had a 2” lift on 37s, which looks great. Is anyone considering a factory lift? I really like the look of 2 door over the 4 door but with 35s instead of 37s. What would be the positives and negatives of a lift?

Since when and where did you learn that Ford will actually (not hoping or wishing or assuming) make available (and through what source-factory installed or dealer installed?) a 2 inch lift kit that Ford will warranty?

Absolutely would check the price on it. After doing several lifts myself, I'm more than happy to have it done and warrantied.

Exactly, there is no confirmation, so we just re-hash the same point as 14 other threads, such as... ?‍

Otay. I'll go back to sleep.

I’ll probably do it with 37s. Let’s not compare to the pre production unit though. Attentive people will have noticed it’s on the current overseas ranger raptor platform. I wouldn’t base any speculation off that setup. Hopefully they release an actual production chassis with the lift for us to see.

Im likely going to get the sasquatch but as of right now I don't see myself getting 37s.

I currently have 33's on a four inch lift, I want the same look for my bronco....mainly a DD, but want the aggressive look

So the 2 door on the left is on 37s and the 4 door on the right is on 35s?

If Ford offers it above or an add on to the Squatch PKG. I'm in! and you don't need step rails, keep a small step stool in the back if your vertically challenged.
