Looks really good, love the everglades wheels I want them for mine but can't pull the trigger.

Just an FYI for those that may be contemplating the same. Swapped out the stock Hitachi coilovers from my 2023 base 2 door 2.3 with coilovers from a 2023 Badlands 4 door 2.7. Gained 2" in the front and 1 3/4" on the rear. Sitting dead level at 39" at all 4 corners. Rides great.

Installing the CrawlTech Revolution front & rear bumpers and front skid next week (gotta stay out of the custom shop as it cost me $$$).

Now I'm considering going to a 315/70/17. I've got about 3" to spare to get in the garage.

How much did the shop charge you to do the swap?

Thanks for taking one for the team and letting us know how things ended up. I was considering doing this and opted for Bilstein 1500s instead. Had no idea how suspension for a different engine size and 4dr would work out with my 2dr.

$500.00 to do the swap and that included alignment. Not a difficult job but they do it all day everyday and have all the right tools. Took the tech about 3 hours.

Ya, this is not a complicated job, I charged myself $0.00 for the swap. That's a good price with the alignment included.

Anybody got the part #s for these Badlands coil overs? Wondering how price compares to the Ford performance coil overs/other options.

 

[Golfsnob]

$400.00 for a complete take off set with 300 miles on them from the Members Marketplace is hard to beat.

Im assuming you swapped the whole shock/spring combo? What about arms? Ive been seriously wanting to do the same on my 2dr BD.

I have a set of 2dr BL sasquatch coilovers and arms I am looking to sell if your interested

The lowest I have found for a coilover replacement here in SoCal is $700 with alignment included. From an Indy shop.
