Added 1.5" perch collars to level out stock Sasquatch but now front end is too high

What's going on everyone, I finally joined the Bronco fam a few weeks back and one of the first mods on the list was to level out the 1.5" rake on my Badlands Sasquatch (Hoss 2.0) front end. As I mentioned in the title, I ordered some 1.5" perch collars thinking this was a true lift height to component height - because nothing in the contrary was mentioned in the item description - and now my front end sits about 3/4" higher than the rear end. Anyways I called the company (broncbusters) and they told me that their mechanic said I could add the 1" perch collars in the back as this would be closer to a true 1" lift as opposed to the front independent suspension which reacts differently to the perch collars.

So my question is, would y'all recommend I go with 1" perch collars for the rear or possibly 1" top mount strut spacers? Or... should I just swap out the front 1.5" collars with the 1"? I like the current height of the front so I'm leaning towards lifting up the back. Thanks for your input in advance!

How long/far have you driven it? You need to drive about 20-30 miles or so at least. Make sure you cross some train tracks or hit some bumps. Then come back and measure it again.

It took that much to get mine to settle to the final riding height

I've driven it about 40 miles or so, but mainly on highway roads. I'll try to find some rough terrain nearby and give it another go to see if I get some more drop before ordering the 1" collars. Appreciate the reply!

if they don’t settle you’ll most likely have to. Just know that it’s WAY easier to do the rear, so it won’t take as long. Lol

Yeah that's most likely the case, I'll measure again today. Hopefully the 1" rear collars give a true 1" lift, the 1/4 rake will give me an excuse to buy a half rack lol. I'll post photos once it's said and done.

Wherever you go, there you are!

I could be wrong but I don't think the Broncos have 1.5" of factory rake. I'd say more like 1" or maybe 1.2" at most with the HOSS 2.0..

IMO, I'd swap the fonts out for 1" as having too much space in the wheel wells would look a bit goofy unless you are going to fill that extra space with larger tires..
