HOSS 3.0 severe duty STEERING RACK and TIE RODS ...Ford Performance M-3200-WT

Sorry meant 4.70.

Seems like there’s a lot of disagreement on the 1” level vs Squatch. Also, you loose ESCV with the 3.0 fox suspension. Since extended high speed off road driving won’t be something I’m doing frequently I would think keeping the ESCV tech would be beneficial.

OK, I understand you're planning now, and also your perspective. The level vs sasquatch debate is valid too, you're repositioning the center of the shock travel higher with the level, which has a negative effect on ESCV. But the only thing you gain with the Saquatch is less than 1/2 inch lift, but you lose 1/2" travel to the bumpstop...

Correct, it’s still an open dilemma for me. I don’t think

Correct. 1/2” with suspension and 1/2” with 35” tires. If you stick with 33” tires you could forego the bump stop.

Well you are in luck, I purchased a 1 year subscription for FDRS and I will be up every weekend for the next year... So chances are that we will be able to get you squared away.

Nice. I'll pitch in to help cover some of that expense, isn't that the subscription that costs like a grand or something to get?

I charge Bronco rates which is beer, pizza and ice cream. I figure if you can afford a bronco you can afford the ice cream.

Well I don't have my Bronco yet, or I would be tempted to take you up on that offer. However, my HOSS 3.0 rack will be delivered on Thursday.

You don't need the vehicle to program the rack, just a 6g bronco, any 6g bronco will do.

Is everyone installing theirs personally? I contacted my dealer and they won’t install it even though it’s a ford part, which is not what I was expecting.

Too much liability for a dealer to install it at this point. Once Ford comes out with a part thru Ford Performance that is meant for aftermarket install, the dealer probably won’t have an issue installing it.

Where do you see it that low? I can only find it for $1565

I found it on this ford website for pretty cheap

This is a pretty easy mechanical swap. If you don't have the tools then you need to invest.
