What Is A Performance Package?

1.5″ Performance Package

Want a simple upgrade that makes a big difference? This Performance Package gives your Bronco a 1.5-inch lift, improving ground clearance without making the truck too tall. It’s perfect if you want better handling for everyday driving and light off-roading. Our favorite part about this package is that it’s a perfect pairing for customers who are installing a coyote powertrain or a powertrain that requires a 2″ body lift, while still allowing to keep it as low as possible. It also has great steering geometry and requires very little welding.

What do the performance packages come with?

All of our performance packages come standard with the correct radius arms to match your lift height—T-Rex arms for lifts up to 2.5 inches and our Long Travel Extended Radius Arms for 3.5 inches and higher.

A key feature of our performance packages is our proprietary Hellwig front sway bar system, designed for better control and stability. This includes a heavy-duty lower coil retainer that allows either bolted or quick-disconnect options, ensuring your Bronco maintains its stance without lifting the front end after installation.

Each package also comes standard with a rear sway bar. For leaf-sprung suspension systems, we include a Hellwig rear sway bar with our quick disconnect system, while our Monster 4-Link System features a sway bar setup specifically designed for its advanced suspension.

To keep your Bronco steady at speed, we include our Bump Steer Eliminator System in a Tie Rod Over-the-Knuckle configuration, eliminating the need for a tight grip on the wheel during highway driving.

To enhance traction and control, our Torque Tamer system is available as an option for the 1.5-inch and 2.5-inch lift packages and comes standard with the 3.5-inch and 5.5-inch leaf-sprung systems. This innovative device prevents the softer Deaver leaf springs from flexing excessively under high torque loads, leading to improved acceleration and smoother gear shifts. By effectively eliminating axle wrap, the Torque Tamer ensures that your Bronco maintains optimal traction, providing a more stable and controlled driving experience both on and off the road.

Finally, every performance package includes our premium MS2020 shocks, providing exceptional handling and ride comfort whether you’re cruising the highway or tackling rugged terrain. Our 1.5″ and 2.5″ leaf-sprung lift systems have an option for our classic 70/30 shocks to allow for a plush ride.
