Hi There, have been following this community for a while and decided it was high time to register an account. This HOSS 3.0 business has got me really interested in seeing if I can get it installed into a Badlands SAS. I spoke to my dealer; they claim to be able to get the rack and tie rods (NB3Z-3504-M), but they’ve got a few concerns. I’m wondering if anyone on here might have any insight.
1. Will the new rack require the steering module be reprogrammed, and if so, does the Badlands module have the logic for it, or will the module also need to be replaced? It would be good even to know how married a rack is to any given module.
2. Do the beefier tie rods still fit into the knuckle on the Badlands, or will there need to be other parts replaced to make them fit? Could someone with a WT HOSS post a photo of the knuckle for comparison?
3. If I opted to just upgrade the tie rods, do they have the same threading/etc to be able to fit into the Badlands rack?
Am pretty happy with the Bilsteins, though would consider upgrading to the Fox coil overs if it will tighten up the rear end, which feels pretty sloppy. I think I may get further along with that by looking at better links though.
Thanks, and appreciate any replies.
