Ford Performance 2" Lift Kits

[flip]

My FAD rep said they're taking pre order for these but was unable to give me an ETA. Putting this out here to gauge interest and if it's worth it for me to carry these in inventory.

Forum member price will be $1,760 + shipping when available. Make sure you read the fine print, this is not for anything with SAS, BL, EG or Raptor.

I'll bite... have an estimate on shipping?

 

[RagnarKon]

My two cents...

$1760 is MUCH better than the $2100 MSRP. BUT... you can get the Bilstein 6100s—which are also 60mm tubes—for ~$1250.

I realize the 6100s are not compatible with Broncos that have the HOSS 1.0 suspension, while these Ford Performance kits are. But struggling to understand why the 6100s are so much cheaper than this kit, especially since they are presumably similar designs since Bilstein is manufacturing the Ford Performance kit.

I guess you are really just paying for the springs and Ford's engineering?? Not sure. But it feels like the value proposition isn't quite there.

Interested as well. Shipping cost may be a deciding factor.

 

[RC Bronco]

Interested, but not yet sold

To confirm - the point of these is primarily to retain the entire factory power train warranty (3/36 from install), correct?

Since the point of these lifts are mostly to fit 35s, does that mean Ford will still warranty things like the front diff on vehicles that shipped with the m190, instead of the m210 and it’s uprated axles?

Have to be correct on how I answer this but installing these should not void any of the factory warranty. Assuming the installation is done correctly, a component failure (outside of neglect, abuse, misuse, lack of maintenance, etc) would likely not be directly tied to the shocks since they're "factory approved".

Not to get into the weeks on warranty but I've raised this concern on our dealer message boards as to what Ford and other dealers positions are when it comes to what is and isn't a warrantable concern. Does ANY off-road use, even mild wheeling, a reason to deny any and all coverage? Where is the line between intended use and something that's been pushed beyond it's limits? Each dealer has to make this call and if they're going to get a repair covered, is incumbent on them to support the repair with documentation while following the warranty policy.

What makes them incompatible with the Hoss 2.0 Bronco's?

Appreciate it. This reminds me of the original GTR + launch control warranty issue. Hopefully Ford takes the reasonable approach on warranty for a vehicle that’s, yknow, meant to be off-roaded.

Most of this is in the dealer's hands and I don't know how most are handling. There've been a few threads pop up here about denied repairs and not knowing all of the details can't say if I believe the correct call was made or not.

 

[FJen]

Is the special pricing still available and are they shipping yet?

 

[StreetSpirit]

Interested in these as well! Will most likely purchase if made available for the promo price mentioned as long as shipping is reasonable. Any word on availability?

Do the 6100 come fully loaded? I was under the impression that these were full spring and shock assemblies.

 

[Andreas24]

Interested as well

no. You use your factory springs. Is that what you’re asking?


I wonder why there isn’t a 2 inch ford performance life for Sasquatch. I’d be open to looking at a lift that doesn’t put my warranty at risk
