That I do not know

If it's not too much of an imposition, I can PM you my VIN, I'm assuming the stock part number for it would be populated?

The part numbers between non-hoss and hoss springs are different, but I do not know the spring rate, and I'm not sure of anyway to look that up. I would assume they are different though

Thanks to @flip I know there are eleven different rates for front springs (MB3Z-5310-A,B,C,D,E,F,J,K,L,M,N) and six for the rear (MB3Z-5560-A,B,C,D,E,F). One could assume that as the letters go up, so do the spring rates, but that would be a hell of a thing to confirm without a bunch of Broncos sitting around with their suspensions apart.

I understand they're not necessarily consistent within trim levels (i.e., option a mod bumper in place of the plastic one and you get bumped up in rate), which is why I was hoping such a thing could be looked up by VIN. My WT has no steel bumpers, skid plates or the tow package, so I would think I have springs on the softer side, but again that's an assumption.

Interesting. Send me your VIN and I'll let you know what it says. I can also compare it to a different 4 door with mod bumper.

flip was collecting spring part numbers for BLs in this thread. might be helpful.

If someone can get me the springs I can test the spring rates and return the springs.

I'll have to dig into that, Ducati1098 just informed me that my front springs are MB3Z-5310-L and my rears are NB3Z-5560-E, so that shoots a bit of a hole in my sequential suffix theory.

My dealer added HOSS on March 10th, and yes I was able to get both price protection offers. I think any good dealer can figure out how to give price protection to customers with an original reservation, unless they switched to Raptor or Everglades.

My dealer also added the Hoss to my order after that date and guaranteed my price protection since I was an October 2020 reservation. My direct contact is a sales manager and received an email from his ford rep confirming the price protection as well.

Beautiful Truck man. I think I will be ordering a 2023 Wildtrak Hoss 3.0 but my color option will be Race Red. That Eruption Green def looks amazing.

So, 4 hours later, I've installed one zroadz slider. I had heard it was easy but I think that's coming from the people with existing factory slider/running boards brackets. Was a royal pain in the ass for me using the zroadz brackets. I'm lucky I didn't cross thread a screw, and the sliders are very heavy for one person to handle. Alas, no harm done except for sore hands. Will do the other side tomorrow.

I did both sides of my 4 door in less then an hour with no help.

So are we still confident that the Hoss 3.0 includes up-spec’ed steering rack & tie rods? I think yes, but who knows what’s what anymore. Cheers. If yes, has anyone identified the part numbers yet? (Assuming they are compatible with Badlands)

cheers.

Thanks! That’s what I thought was happening, good to see it writing. I probably obsessed over all of this months ago and then just forgot everything, ha!! I’m specifically looking forward to seeing someone upgrade their Badlands with the rack & rods as I plan to do the same. Cheers.

My HOSS 3.0 build..... In transit somewhere south of Illinois. Settled on Race Red after a few other colors in previous orders. Dropped the cheap factory skid plates for the rack (not installed yet). Have aftermarket plates in the shop. Kept the capable bumper to get the fog light button on the light cluster. Will update front bumper at some point. First mod is 37s and the skid plates.

You have a badlands which means you have preinstalled slider brackets. The zroadz brackets, and misaligned holes, we're the issue.

I changed my color about 10 times. I was a staunch race red person and yours will be amazing.
