I retained all sensors. The ACC goes in grill with relocate bracket, a lot easier to do than it looks. Transfer park sensors to new bumper. I used original lighting wire harness in bumper for new lights. The camera is pretty obstructed with the bull bar, so I relocated it to the bull bar.

Thanks sir,

Great build! Thanks for updating the RC lift fit for us HOSS 3.0 owners.

Can you verify your new clearance measurements from the bottom of the rear diff/lowest point to ground?

Any update on that measurement? Thanks!

Oh heck, sorry doing it right now.

11.5 diff to ground

Awesomeness- thank you!
I’m measuring 10.75 stock at the pumpkin (WT SAS HOSS 3.0), so I think this gives us a good idea of what to expect.

For the camera relocate, how did you extend wiring and where did you source it?

I did not have to extend the cable or hose. I removed the cable from the first two clips on the front and routed the hose and cable down next to the radiator and was able to get both secured without having to add anything. I had bought a cable extender from Amazon

But, I did not need to use it, it's sitting in my toolbox now.

No problems at all. The install seems a little intimidating at first, but really not that hard.

With the ACC relocate- have you found any videos that helped you or did you use any particular install guides (here or elsewhere)?

I used the instructions from DV8, really not too hard to do. Taking off grill, surrounds and headlights just isn't that difficult.

I feel like this has been answered, but you are saying you can install this lift kit on a 2023 wildtrak with the hoss 3.0, and you really arent compromising the ride quality, or doing something lke the spring perch (which seemingly would compromise ride).

I actually am totally fine with 35's, I just want a bit more gap between tires and fenders, and would prefer not to replace/or compromise stocker shocks etc. Does that kit fit 4doors as well? (googling the part number seems like the places selling dont specify that its for 2door or 4door)

(btw yours looks great)

Also I'm curious why rough country's details page for that lift kit says `

• Does NOT fit models equipped with HOSS suspension system.

Thank you.
I emailed Rough Country specifically for HOSS 3.0, and they said it fit. I installed the kit, seemed to fit perfectly to me. The only thing I had to do was clearance the skid plate to clear the differential, but I would think you would have to do that regardless of hoss or not. When I got it the website didn't say anything about the HOSS 3.0. May want to email them.
Ride quality was not changed as far as I could tell, no spring perches.
