How do you plan to connect the live shocks to a Bronco that does not have live shocks? There is a computer connection required for the live shocks.i'm waiting for the fox racing shocks to come out. If they are using the same shocks on the new Raptor for the Warthog i may wait for those instead. I believe those are the live valve shocks which are super sweet but also very expensive
to be honest I figured you could hook them up the same way the other shocks but I guess that's not the case. Sounds like its a more complicated system then I thoughtHow do you plan to connect the live shocks to a Bronco that does not have live shocks?

If your vehicle has factory live shocks going to aftermarket live shocks is plug and play. If it doesn't have factory live shocks I am not sure if it could be done or the cost. My Raptor is a 2018 the last year of non-live shocks. I can't use the 2019-up Raptor live shocks. The aftermarket live shocks for the 2019-up Raptors start at about $9k for a set.to be honest I figured you could hook them up the same way the other shocks but I guess that's not the case.

yeah thats what i was noticing online looking at fox. They are freaking sweet like i said but look really complicated to install or even work with.If your vehicle has factory live shocks going to aftermarket live shocks is plug and play.

For optimum performance, it is very important that shocks be tuned for the usage case and weight of your vehicle build. Outside of those who compete / race their vehicle, very few will get their shocks re/valved or tuned to optimize performance. Thus, many will buy and install very high end shocks, and not get the most out of them. For some though, being better than stock, and looking great is enough to make them happy with their purchase.One thing to remember about shocks. If you are a low speed rock crawler type guy, high end shocks like this are irrelevant.
Driving around on the street puts more stress on shocks than driving around slowly off road does.
Rock crawling requires very little of 1) power 2) brakes 3) shocks. The speeds are low, the energy to be managed is tiny compared even to driving vigorously on the street.
Godzilla def won.The way the title of this thread is worded makes me think of a King Kong like Bronco. Kickin the shit outta Godzilla maybe... sorry for the interruption.
I agree with everything you said.For optimum performance, it is very important that shocks be tuned for the usage case and weight of your vehicle build.

If you are going to the desert or hitting jumps you dont need these shocks, simple as that.
are you referring to the hitachi shocks for the lower trims or the bilstein's stock badlands etc?Don't forget .. the Bronco OEM shocks are sealed as in NOT re-buildable. When they are done you throw them away.
