I can't make this easy on myself!!! Too many decisions!

Need to level out the front/accommodate winch/mount etc.

Option 1- Level kit. cheap, gets me back to stock height. Doesn't address added weight. Done right now with through a variety of options

Option 2- OME kits, raises everything up .75", addresses added weight, can offset cost by selling SAS suspension

Option 3- New adjustable coilivers (Likely King). SUPER expensive, adjustable to help level out. Look good, eventually want to do all 4, but probably not in the cards with tires, additional skids, and other stuff I want to do. I would do just the front for now.


I don't want to do a perch/collar lift. I am not looking to go more than 1" level kit. Almost all the downsides of a spacer with the additional effort of having to go use a spring compressor somewhere.

Food for thought, while you don't want to do a perch kit, its probably the best bang for your buck at the moment. It will both increase ride height a small amount and add bit of preload to the front springs - artificially addressing the extra weight on the nose... Otherwise you've got your bases covered it seems

Option 3 would be great, but đź’¸.

I think your best course of action are the OME kits. The Bilstein Sasquatch suspension can help offset the cost.

I ordered a manual 2.3 Sasquatch 2 door big bend with modular bumper and tow and plan to add the winch. Wouldn’t the stock V6 Sasquatch front springs be an ideal swap for both ride height and ride/handling?

I think if we wait till this time next year or even next spring there will be more options available. The 1.25 perch collar mod does ride nice it feels just like Stock again with the added weight up front I like it for 125$ it’s easy to install and won’t kill your cv’s.

I've been having these same internal debates. Every option has it's own set of cons. I decided on Icon EXP shocks and I'm thinking I might run some 4dr V6 coils on them. The coil part of that formula wouldn't help an FE obviously.

Same issue for me. My front is only 1.5" lower than the rear, so I'll probably just roll with it until I want to make a bigger change to 37", if ever.
