Looked through some threads - not seeing a leveling kit with maybe a 1" lift for the hoss 3.0 guys...

Anyone done one?

Spoke to Eibach this week and they are a few months away from releasing a spring set for the HOSS 3.0, (These will NOT fit the HOSS but they are the version specs that are working on releasing: https://eibach.com/product/E30-35-056-01-22) I would wait to for a set of springs for leveling...

Can someone explain this to me like I'm five? I'm ok with a little bit of a lift, but I would really want to mostly level it out and NOT affect suspension compression or ride quality.

do I want 1.5 for both, front only...or, wait patiently until I take delivery (boooring) and measure front and rear height first?

"I would wait for a set of springs..." due to the change in deflection and rebound with something like a collar?

If you do 1.5" for both, you wont be level. THe front of my WT wtih Fox is 3/4" lower in front then the rear, so if you went with 1.5" up front, you might ride higher in the front than rear. I know it might be boring, but you might have to wait until you get yours and go from there.

Sounds like a 1 1/2” front and 1” rear might accomplish what you’re after. If you re planning heavier bumper/winch might just want the front only.

The 1.5 Kit likely wont give you a full 1.5 inches of lift on the RPG kit. From what has been seen on the forum and my personal experience with my 23' WT, RPG is normally .5" less than the advertised lift. I went with 2.25" Front and back (wanted to keep rake) and I only got 1.75" of lift. That said some rigs have 1" of rake while others have 3/4" of rake so you may want to measure first.

The Foutz collars are a more true 1:1 based on advertised lift since the design is a bit different.

Lastly if you are simply looking to level perch collars will not impact ride quality very much since you would likely only add an inch or less. I dont feel much difference and others with larger lifts state the same. There is a thread with feedback under Hoss 3.0 lift option I believe.

Great info, I only have to wait a week or two more. I will just measure when it gets here. Thx

From what I’m reading, these are saying the same price as a leveling kit and they work with hoss 3.0

hmmmmm
There is someone already running this setup. They can level your Bronco, but it also depends on how much added weight you have on the front/rear. They are also working on a heavier rear spring that lots of people are interested in.
