I have a '23 WT with the Fox shocks.

I was thinking of doing a perch collar install, but I don't want to ruin the ride/handling. There are a few people on here that say it doesn't do anything, but I don't think it's possible to compress the spring and not affect the characteristics.

For you, without off-roading, the perch collar might work since you won't have to worry about coil bind.
You could do a small perch collar and a 1" body lift. You'd have plenty of clearance for 37's.

Or, as others have said, wait for the spring kits to come out.

For me, I'm more than likely doing to be doing a body lift. I'm only looking for a small lift to give me a little more room between the 35's and the fenders.

How are different springs going to add lift without the travel of the shock also being longer? Is it just a stiffer spring that provides less sag? Seems this would affect the ride quality.

I am putting on 37s - do I just take off the factory existing 2 inch lift and put on Rough Country's 5 inch lift? is there a "better" way? thanks
this is a joke right
if your asking this your trolling or dont deserve gods gift of a bronco
any 3/4 inch lift to be safe
upper control arms and bronco buster tie rod up grade
maybe a max tire kit
or back spacing wheels but maybe not
tire carrier upgrade with third light ext

Lift springs on the same shock just cause you to ride higher in the same stroke the shock had before.. basically simulating droop (which you lose). Similar to a perch collar really

Let me get this straight, you want to take off a very, very nice suspension system from Ford/Fox and put on RC stuff???

You really should Not have ordered the Wildtrak with the HOSS 3.0. Just my opinion.

Shhh let them do what they want. This sounds like an awesome idea to me.
