Help HOSS 3.0 vs factory Bilstein (Ride and Travel)?

[Bradley Thornton]

My Badlands SAS has the Bilsteins. I have a 1 3/8s lift in front and 1in in rear. running 38s

I can get a set of 3.0s at a very good deal.

Is the Ride better?

More important what is the true shock travel compared to the Bilstein (See Pic)

Ok, so I did do a search last night this site and google and didn't find anything but this morning I found this so They say the Fox ride better (((But))) lower. My Bronco fits 38s perfect but I had to add the 1 3/8s lift to make it happen its the zone spacer lift I guess I could buy the lift for these shock and do all the work over again to find the sweet spot but its really not worth it to me.

Still if anyone has the travel pass that info to me please.

I've read a bunch about this and there seems to be something else at play - the reports of the 23s sitting lower are hit and miss. I took the gamble and have a set sitting on the garage...just need to decide if I'm going to lift or not. Would likely go for the zone lift for these shocks to clear 37s.

This may help you with the fitment of the 37s

The Fox's ride significantly better at speed offroad, but you may need to swap springs if your adding weight or lifting. Eibach makes some options.

I did the Hoss 3.0 swap from the Hoss 2.0 bilsteins that came on my Badlands Sasquatch. It was one of my favorite changes. The Foxes and springs ride so much better, slow or fast. The 2.0 were very jarring/bouncy compared to the 3.0.

I did not get measurements before and after but it leveled out more than I would like but I will live with it for the ride. I did get the part numbers without tow hitch

Did you get the 3.0 parts as takeoffs or from ford directly? I want to do this on my sasquatch big bend 2.3, I'm just worried about incorrect spring rates messing things up.

I got takeoffs.
