Ford Performance Suspension Upgrade?

[BroncoScott]

I need to be educated.

When I first received my Bronco (Outer Banks Non-sas) I put a 2" Rough Country spacer lift on it to fit 35" tires. Since then I am somewhat unhappy with the ride, both on road and off. I have about $900 worth of Ford credits to use. I've seen several different options that I could purchase from Ford like a Bilstein 2" Ford performance lift and the HOSS 3.0 package.

Go ahead and assume I know nothing about any of this. What is my best option here?

What's your complaint? Nose dive? To soft? To stiff?

Give a few hints on what you want.

I would get some Bilstein SAS takeoffs and save 1k. I put a set on my non SAS OBX with 33’s. Just a tad taller than a non SAS Badlands with 33’s. It would fit 35’s if I preferred 35’s. The Bilsteins are an upgrade in my book.

Definitely too stiff.

Fair point. I hadn't really considered this but I'm not sure why. Would my +30 wheels be a problem with sas take offs?

So 5100, 6100 are out as they stiffen the ride. I would go Hoss 3.0 fox shocks or SAS-take offs(softest option)

Shouldn’t be. Mine are +20

Whatever u do, don’t snag the first set of Hoss 3.0 takeoffs that hit the market, i have dibs on em .

That's interesting. So just putting the spacers on stiffened your suspension that much? I've never done a spacer suspension but I'm considering this RC lift.
