Has anyone looked further into whether Ford will be offering Bronco owners the option to install HOSS 3.0 if they want the upgrade?
Thanks,

I have no idea. I'm sure that'd cost a pretty penny but that would be nice. Every time I go off-road I fear the tierod snap.

I have ordered the Raptor tiers from my Dealership and just waiting on them to arrive. Considering it is an offered option, it shouldn't be rocket science to install.

Okay thanks for the information. What set up did you have here with the factory wheels? Are they 35’s still. Did the lift affect your ride quality at all? Thanks

Those are the 37's on factory wheels. They did rub on the Upper control arm as well as the frame behind the tire when at full lock. Ride quality might be slightly stiffer but not much. Still a great ride. I keep tire pressure at around 33psi.

Factory wheels won't work with 37's unless you add some spacers. I ended up ordering aftermarket wheels with a 0-offset and they work great. The crash bars were already removed by Ford. The sasquatch package doesn't have crash bars. I did have the JKS max clearance kit installed removing that bulge in the front where the front crash bars were supposed to be. The tires I have are Nitto Ridge Grapplers 37x13.5. the wheels I went with are Icon Rebound Pro's.

You've got the same set up that I want. Any difference in ride quality, etc?

To be honest I can't say. I got them so quick that I didn't really feel the ride quality before the after. Ride quality it still nice. I don't regret any change I've made. Obviously I'd love some king or some fox shocks on there but I'm still very happy and I love the reactions I get from people with having the 37's.

Thanks for the quick reply. I created a post asking about this particular set up right before I saw this thread. lol. I'm glad to hear about the ride quality. I'm going for reactions too. Here's my rig.

There is no specific reason why the type of lift rough country does for 2.5" would have an issue with the rear sway bar. Your mechanic would need to be more specific.

I have a 23 Wildtrak, has Hos 3.0 with the Fox shocks. Wondering if this kit would work on it. 🤔 Also, did this actually lift the front 2 1/2" and then level up the rear? What do you think of the UCA's compared to the stock ones?

I do see that someone left a review on RC site with a 2 Dr. Wildtrak with Hoss 3.0. So it must be able to work. I messaged RC. I really like how yours turned out.👍

They are good at responding! I've talked to them a few times.
