Best Lift Kits for Ford Bronco

Every Bronco lift guide that starts with lift heights starts in the wrong place. Start with the question the manufacturers start with: is your Bronco Sasquatch-equipped or not? The two trucks take opposite kits — the base truck’s best-sellers exclude the Sasquatch outright, and the Sasquatch kits fit nothing else. Underneath that sits the HOSS damper ladder (1.0 through 4.0), which splits fitment again on Badlands and Wildtrak trucks. This guide is organised by that reality: base suspension first, then the one kit that crosses the line, then Sasquatch. The Bronco hub explains the platform; our method — manufacturer-page verification, no hands-on claims — is in how we test and verify.

The quick picks

Kit	Your truck	Lift	Price basis	Buy it for	Hard exclusions
Rough Country 40400	Base suspension	2″	$79.95 at Rough Country	The budget 35-inch route	Sasquatch, First Edition, HOSS 3.0/4.0
ReadyLIFT 69-21200 SST	Base suspension	2″ / 2″	$269.95 at ReadyLIFT	The engineered base-truck kit (see sourcing note)	Sasquatch, Badlands, Wildtrak, HOSS 3.0
Rough Country 51027	Base suspension	3.5″	From $649.95 at Rough Country	The tall base-truck build — in spacer form	Sasquatch, HOSS 3.0/4.0 (spacer version)
ReadyLIFT 66-21100	Either	1.25″ front	$169.95 at ReadyLIFT	The level that fits both sides of the divide	Front-only: no rear lift
Zone ZONF1221	Badlands / Sasquatch	2″ / 1″	$159.99 at Zone	The Sasquatch truck’s value lift	Base suspension trucks
ReadyLIFT 69-21310 SST	Sasquatch only	3″	$1,049.95 at ReadyLIFT	The verified 37-inch route	Non-Sasquatch trucks; HOSS 3.0

One pattern to notice before the cards: unlike the truck guides on this site, most Bronco kits lift the rear as well as the front — compare both figures in the table, because a “2-inch” Bronco kit (2 front / 2 rear, or 2 front / 1 rear) is a lift, not a level. The Bronco’s problem is clearance and tire room, not the factory rake a truck level exists to remove. The one pure front level in the guide, ReadyLIFT’s 66-21100, is labelled as exactly that.

Base suspension trucks (HOSS 1.0, and non-Sasquatch Badlands)

The budget 35-inch route: Rough Country 2″ (40400)

At $79.95 this is the cheapest credible Bronco kit in our dataset, and its claims are properly modest: up to 35-inch tires with proper backspacing, and a fitment list that shows its working — 35x12.50R17 on a 17x9 at +18 with minor trimming, 315/70R17 on a 17x8.5 at +35 without a trimming note. Add the platform condition that no spacer listing headlines: per ICON, the factory crash bars on your non-Sasquatch truck must be removed to clear 35s (the hub covers the high-clearance replacement option). Budget the kit, the trimming and that decision together.

Who should NOT buy this: Sasquatch and First Edition owners, HOSS 3.0 and Raptor owners — all excluded on Rough Country’s page, in those words.

The engineered base kit: ReadyLIFT 2″ SST (69-21200)

ReadyLIFT’s base-truck SST at $269.95 states a recommended fitment (305/70R17 on a 17x8.5 at +18) and a maximum (35x12.50 on a 9-inch wheel at +18, with trimming) — the two-tier honesty we look for. One sourcing note, printed rather than buried: ReadyLIFT’s own detail page for this kit would not load when we checked, so the price is from ReadyLIFT’s shop listing and the specifications and exclusions are from dealer listings reproducing ReadyLIFT’s data — the same standard we applied to Bilstein’s application data on the F-150. The record is labelled accordingly.

Who should NOT buy this: Sasquatch, Badlands, Wildtrak and First Edition owners — ReadyLIFT’s note excludes the whole factory-lifted set, and HOSS 3.0 trucks with it.

The tall base build: Rough Country 3.5″ (51027, spacer version)

From $649.95, and the variant warning matters more than the price: this record is the spacer version, which keeps the base-truck exclusions (no Sasquatch, no HOSS 3.0/4.0). Rough Country’s M1R strut variant of the same kit name reverses the fitment — it fits Sasquatch and HOSS 3.0 trucks, where it yields only 1.5–2.5 inches of lift. Two kits, one name, opposite trucks: order by part number and configuration, never by the headline. In spacer form the claim is 35-inch clearance with no additional modifications (35x12.50R17 on a 17x9 at +0 in the fitment list).

Who should NOT buy this: anyone who cannot state which version they are buying, and every factory-lifted trim for the spacer version.

The kit that crosses the line: ReadyLIFT 1.25″ level (66-21100)

The only card in this guide documented to work with or without the Sasquatch Package: a 1.25-inch front level at $169.95, with fitments stated for both trucks — 285/70R17 on non-Sasquatch, the factory 315/70R17 size on Sasquatch. It is a stance tool, not a tire tool: if your goal is a diameter your truck does not already clear, the level is not the route, on either side of the divide.

Sasquatch and Badlands trucks

The value Sasquatch lift: Zone ZONF1221

Zone built this kit for exactly the trucks the base kits exclude — Badlands and Sasquatch-equipped Broncos, full stop — at $159.99 for 2 inches front / 1 inch rear and a stated 35-inch clearance (35x12.5 on a 17x9 with 5–5.5 inches of backspacing). On a truck that already wears 35s, the honest pitch is not tire size but stance and clearance margin. Zone is BDS’s sister brand, and its page is as exclusion-forward as we ask any manufacturer to be.

Who should NOT buy this: base-suspension owners. It will not fit your truck, and the fact that it is cheap makes the mistake more likely, not less.

The verified 37-inch route: ReadyLIFT 3″ SST (69-21310)

The only manufacturer-stated 37-inch claim in our Bronco dataset: ReadyLIFT’s Sasquatch-only SST ($1,049.95, HD ball joints) supports 37x12.50 on 17x8.5 wheels at +18 offset — and prints the caveat in the same breath: at full travel and lock-to-lock, the tires contact the front body mount and possibly the rear inner fender, and “these areas must be addressed.” We record that row as clears-with-trimming, because that is what the manufacturer’s own words describe. A 38x12.50 is listed as the maximum with trimming.

Who should NOT buy this: non-Sasquatch owners (it is designed exclusively for Sasquatch-equipped trucks), HOSS 3.0 owners (excluded), and anyone who reads “supports 37s” as “no further work required.”

What we checked but did not card

Zone’s dedicated HOSS 3.0 kit (ZONF120) exists — but Zone’s own page gives its lift three different ways (2.25 inches in the title, 2.5/1 in the spec block, 2.5/1.25 in the notes), so it waits for a page that agrees with itself. BDS’s 4-inch Bronco system and the Eibach and Bilstein 5100/6112 Bronco applications are real, but the figures we could read this pass came from dealer listings rather than manufacturer pages, with no manufacturer max-tire statement for the shock applications — they will be carded when the manufacturer data verifies, not before. ReadyLIFT’s 4-inch base-model SST (69-21410) rests on dealer data alone and gets the same treatment.
