The Definitive Guide to 2021+ Bronco Ride & Lift Heights with Wheel & Tire Sizes

Not sure if this was covered but I purchased suspension off of a non sas BL . Both vehicles are 2.3L , 4 door no tow. his vehicle is a manual and mine auto. What do you think an estimate in height difference will be?

About 1/2-3/4 inch.

May try a leveling kit which may not completely level me but could make it look as it should . Thanks for replying.

I did exactly this same swap on my Bronco 2D 2.7 OBX to 2D 2.7 non-sasquatch BL suspension.

And this is the same situation manual trans suspension on an auto vehicle ? Looks good

No real difference between manual and auto for the purpose of suspension.

Anyone know if these components (top hat, Isolator, nuts) are same on SAS, non-SAS, and Hitachi?

Everything is the same for those 4 parts as far as I know.

Didn’t think I needed a lift on my black diamond to fit 33s??

Did you?

Did you?

That’s right. I thought 33s would fit and I thought others on here said the same at some point

I have posted a better view of Hitachi vs Bilstein non-sasquatch side by side. I will post it later, it's a noticeable difference, but certainly minimal.

updated to show the difference... both OBX with stock wheels and tires.

I have read thru many pages but not all 31, frankly it has made my headache worse.

I have a Black Diamond, 2.3, 7mt with tow package. I only want a 2” lift and will replace with 33’s when mine factory tires are shot.

I will not use spacers and don’t want to go the puck route.

What is my best alternative without sacrificing off road performance?

Thanks.

Well good news is that you don't even need a lift to run 33" tires. I have seen stock OBX run 285/70R18 Ridge Grapplers with the stock offset rims without pulling the crash bars. With +30 offset 17x9 RTR Tech 6 rims, I was running 295/70R17 MT's (33.5" tires).

If you want some lift, the adjustable ride height Bilsteins (5100/6100) are a decent option.

If you only want 2" of total lift, you could run a 34-35" tire on the proper rim with sasquatch take-offs.
