How to level my bronco?

[aniljavali]

I added few accessories (fridge, battery, roam, roof rack, spare tire carrier, hinge reinforcement, ...) to get my bronco (Badlands, SAS, 2.7) ready for the adventure with family. I see a big sag in the rear end of the rig.

what are my options to level the rig? my use of the rig is to explore back country in Colorado, Utah...., I am not a hard core rock crawler. also, I want to the minimum to level it out.

my research has gave me two options.
1. spacers
2. coilovers

please advice on the pros and cons of each, and if there is another idea I should take on. appreciate your thoughts.

here is the picture my bronco with the gear. family in would add more sag I guess.

Not so much as a leveling kit, they make stiffer springs.. That’s the way I would look into.

Put a 12k winch on the front, it will level

does the stiffer springs make the ride rough ?

 

[dadjoke]

Stiffer springs just counter the added weight. Ford has multiple different spring rates based on bronco configurations and curb weights

It will ride rougher when un weighted, It’s a compromise only you can make.. If you are always riding around with it like in the pictures, the stiffer spring will actually make it ride better because it compensates for all that extra weight….

winch needs a modular bumper or am thinking of JCR which adds more weight and auto levels.

Yeah, I have the modular bumper and put on the OEM 10k setup, mine dropped a good inch. I ended up using the Rough Country leveling kit to get it back to the factory rake (1” in front).

You can’t go wrong with JCR, I have a lot of their gear and no complaints.
