Installed SAS Bilstein suspension on Black Diamond (w/ Kenda 35’s) -- gained 3" lift

[TallDude]

Installed some SAS take-offs that came off a 2.7 4 door on my 2.3 4 door.

At the same time had some Kenda Klever R/T 35x10.5x17 installed.

Netted about 3 inches. I assume 2 from the tires and 1 from the suspension.

Just have done a quick drive and it all feels great! Looks perfect IMO and it is just what I wanted.
Edit: after putting some miles on this set up, I am really impressed and happy. The ride is more compliant, feels more solid without the harshness or choppiness of the stock suspension, especially over small bumps. I am very happy with the swap and end results.

Awesome. Those 10.5 Kenda’s are great tires. I had them on my old Tacoma and they were great!

It looks like the tires netted you 1" and the suspension 2" since you only ad radius and not diameter....looks much better now for sure.

I love those steelies!!! I'm trying to get some for my OBX nonSAS. Thinking some 33" KO2 will look great on them.

Thank you! Love the stance!

Looking at the tire size comparison I think I gained 2 inches in sidewall:

And per the suspension cookbook: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...ide-lift-heights-with-wheel-tire-sizes.17719/

SAS suspension should net about an inch?

I may be misinterpreting tho.

Looks great. It appears level how did you get rid of the factory front end sag?

I was worried it would sag, especially with the winch mount/winch on there. This is all speculative, but I assume it’s because my SAS suspension came off a 2.7 vs a 2.4, if they have stiffer springs due to the weight difference maybe that worked in my favor?
