Top Picks at a Glance
Rough Country 2" Suspension Lift Kit — Bronco (2021+)
The go-to choice for Bronco owners who want a real suspension lift without spending Icon or Fox money.

Well-sorted fitment on all 2021+ Bronco models at this point in the product lifecycle.
✓ Pros
- Best price-to-performance in the 2" category
- Proper suspension lift, not just spacers
- Good ride quality for the money
- Clears 35" tires with minor trimming
✗ Cons
- Not the same damping quality as Icon or Fox
- Components are functional, not premium
Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2" Stage 3 Suspension Kit
Icon is what you buy when you've already done the budget lift and want to do it right. Their 2.5" reservoir shocks offer dramatically better damping than anything in the budget category. The ride quality improvement over a basic 2" kit is immediately noticeable, especially on washboard roads and rough terrain. Fully rebuildable. Made in the USA.
✓ Pros

- Dramatically better damping than budget options
- Improved off-road performance without sacrificing street manners
- Fully rebuildable components

Fox Performance Series 3" Lift Kit — Bronco
Fox is one of the most recognized names in off-road suspension. Their 3" kit opens up room for 35" tires without extensive modification, and the Fox-tuned damping makes a real difference on rough terrain without sacrificing street comfort. A strong choice for owners who actually use their Bronco off-road regularly.
✓ Pros
- Fox's renowned off-road damping technology
- 3" of real height improvement
- Clears 35" tires with proper wheel offset
- Good balance of trail and daily drivability
✗ Cons
- 3" lifts require careful drivetrain angle consideration
- May need extended brake lines and supporting mods
ReadyLIFT 2" SST Leveling Kit — Bronco
If all you want is to level the factory rake without changing the suspension's behavior, a spacer-based leveling kit is the cheapest and simplest path. ReadyLIFT's 2" SST kit adds height at the front strut mount without replacing any factory components. It keeps the OEM ride character while eliminating the nose-down stance.
✓ Pros
- Simplest, cheapest lift option
- Preserves factory ride quality
- DIY-friendly install
- No alignment changes on most setups
✗ Cons
- Front-only — doesn't lift the rear
