I purchased the superlift's 3.5" lift kit. Part #K1023. After some talk with the mechanic about my planned sedona trip (broken arrow). He advised to just go 2" lift with Bilstein 5100's and over the 3.5"spacer i agreed.

Im about to return the superlift's but figured i would ask here first. Would there be any benefit in combining the kits? Since im only going 2" high. The UCA,drivetrain and track bar brackets are tempting to install. I am aiming for max articulation over height If that helps.

RIg is a Big bend. On 35x10.5's The only option it came with was the 2.7.

I'd advise against it.

A stock Bronco will have no problem with Broken Arrow.

Unfortunately, engineering costs money and less expensive components can show the limits of their development and engineering at the most inopportune times.

I agree, but i believe buttercup 2.0 is running the superlift's kit w/Fox coilovers. Seeing what tht goes through does give me confidence in the UCA's. Thats actually where i got the idea to just tie in the 5100's. I just wish there were more reviews on affordable products.

I didn't think the issue with the UCAs on high lifts was strength, I thought it was being able to get the alignment correct?

If you want max articulation, don't you want like a mid-travel kit?

Yes, but the shop said they wouldn't even install them. Made it seem like they are temu products he was unaware of the brands history.....so i dunno.

Yes, this exact kit with the fox is what i want. But my wallet doesn't agree. We are currently saving for a 2 door. So there is a budget constraint. Sasquatch links are my last mod till next bonus check.
