Ford Bronco Lift Kits: Match the Factory Suspension Before the Lift Height
Current Bronco lift kits split by Sasquatch, base suspension, HOSS equipment and other factory configurations. Confirm that package first, then compare height, hardware and tire guidance.
Start with the Bronco suspension package
The current Bronco lift-kit market separates base and non-Sasquatch trucks from Sasquatch-equipped trucks, and some systems also exclude HOSS 3.0, Raptor or specific Badlands configurations. That means a 2021–2026 Bronco can have the right year and drivetrain but still need a different kit because of its factory suspension package.
ReadyLIFT, for example, lists a 2-inch SST system for base/non-Sasquatch applications and a separate 3-inch SST system for Sasquatch-equipped Broncos. Rough Country also publishes Bronco systems at several heights, including 3.5-, 5- and 7-inch paths. Treat those as separate applications rather than interchangeable height choices.
Current Bronco lift-kit options
| System | Application | Advertised lift | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| ReadyLIFT 69-21200 | 2021–2026 base/non-Sasquatch | 2 in. | Excludes Sasquatch and HOSS 3.0 Fox-equipped Wildtrak applications. |
| ReadyLIFT 69-21310 | 2021–2026 Sasquatch | 3 in. | Requires the Sasquatch package; excludes Bronco Sport and HOSS 3.0 Fox-equipped vehicles. |
| ReadyLIFT 62-21360 | 2021–2026 Bronco | 3.5 in. | Excludes Bronco Sport and Raptor; publishes 37- and 38-inch tire examples with specific wheel details. |
| Rough Country 51027 | 2021–2026 Bronco 4WD | 3.5 in. | Current product page does not publish cutting as required. |
| Rough Country 41100 | 2021–2025 Bronco 4WD | 5 in. | Manufacturer material includes a factory-compatible 17×8.5 +30 wheel example. |
Sasquatch is not just a tire-size label
The Sasquatch package changes the factory suspension setup, so it can determine which lift kit family is appropriate. A non-Sasquatch SST kit should not be moved onto a Sasquatch truck simply because both trucks use the same model year. The reverse is also true: a Sasquatch-specific system is not automatically the right choice for a base suspension.
HOSS 3.0 is another important check. Current ReadyLIFT fitment notes exclude HOSS 3.0 Fox-equipped vehicles from the cited SST applications. If your Bronco has a factory suspension package that is not named on the product page, use the Fit Checker before treating the kit as confirmed.
Large tire claims still depend on the exact wheel
ReadyLIFT’s premium 3.5-inch SST product page includes a 37×12.50 example on a 17×8.5 wheel with +18 mm offset, while a 38×12.50 example is listed with additional conditions. Those numbers are useful, but they are not a general promise that every 3.5-inch Bronco lift clears the same tire.
Wheel width, offset, the exact tire’s measured dimensions, factory trim and suspension package can all change clearance. Use the Lift Kit Tire Size Guide for the broader tire/wheel decision and keep the selected kit’s manufacturer table as the final reference.
Compare the complete kit, not only the height
Bronco systems in the same height range can target different factory configurations and include different suspension hardware. Before comparing price, confirm the factory package first, then compare the parts included, shock or strut arrangement, wheel/tire guidance and any installation notes.
Use the Lift Kit Finder to narrow the current Bronco options by model year and configuration. If you already have a part number in mind, use the Fit Checker, or place exact systems side by side in Lift Kit Compare.
Shopping after the Bronco configuration is clear
The vehicle-level shopping link can include base, Sasquatch and other Bronco lift systems, so verify the exact configuration and part number before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Does a Sasquatch Bronco use the same lift kit as a non-Sasquatch Bronco?
Not necessarily. Current manufacturers publish separate applications for base/non-Sasquatch and Sasquatch-equipped Broncos, so the factory suspension package must match the exact kit.
Can a Bronco Sport use these Bronco lift kits?
No. The Bronco Sport is a separate vehicle platform, and current ReadyLIFT Bronco applications cited here explicitly exclude Bronco Sport.
Does a 3.5-inch Bronco lift automatically clear 37-inch tires?
No. Tire guidance is tied to the exact kit, wheel width and offset, factory configuration and any trimming conditions published by the manufacturer.
Should I choose a Bronco lift kit by height first?
Start with the factory suspension package and exact vehicle fit. Once those are confirmed, compare lift height, included parts, wheel and tire guidance and installation requirements.
