I have the RockBlokz on the front of my Wildtrak and they are great! I have RCI rock sliders as well with zero fitment issues. I get full coverage too with a more aggressive wheel fitment. They protect the entire side of my Bronco. I didn't do the rears. I typically drive the speed limit...

This is an epic build! Love it. Can't wait to see the end results

i was excited to see what they were going to come up with. Not that excited anymore. Looks like a Honda Element on steroids. Not selling it here anyway.

This is the exact reason I went with the 8112. They spent over two years of R&D, plus, they're an OEM for the Bronco in the first place. This means they have access to engineering designs that none of the other manufacturers have (save Fox). I don't like doing things halfassed, nor do I have...

I believe the cheapest way would be to upgrade spring rates. Not sure if the shock valving will be able to handle the rate change or not. I can tell you this for certain. I have my racing license (SCCA and AER) and when I push my Bronco through the back roads and there are elevation changes, I...

Had a horse show with my daughter. Great weekend!

I have added weight to my Wildtrak, but ended up switching to the Bilstein 8112 coil overs to retain ride and handling. I have a front winch, but with an aluminum bumper, Next Gen aluminum Skids, JCR skids/steps, RTR rear bumper and tire carrier. The added weight changed the handling to more...

Subscribed! Excellent information.

What makes them so great? They're a factory OEM replacement for the FL2062, which is paper media.

I'm not sure I understand. It states in the spreadsheet that the FL2087 is made in the USA. Where did you find the absolute ratings for the filters? I don't see anything in the link for the description of the filters he looked at. The Fram is made in China and he said it has a different media...

I was a product manager for a filtration company (industrial and mobile hydraulics). We would produce paper media filters for the cheapest applications. Meaning, the parts used to create the systems weren't critical for cleanliness. Internally, we'd refer to them as "Rock catchers" because...

I have the Next Venture 7075 skids. The best period. Go to their website to see how they test them. You definitely need the UHMW for the aluminum skids. It actually makes them much better than steel and they're more flexible than steel. I have the rear diff cover too...

Thanks for the settings! I hardly get into the high-speed stuff. That's more in New Jersey than PA. There are two off-road parks not too far from me that have everything from a light trail that you can take your Subaru on to a rock garden that they only allow buggies to go on. They're mostly...

Yes. I've been driving on them for a few months now. Mostly on-road obviously. I ended up setting the high speed at 4, low speed at 10 and JCO at 3 (all from full open) as Shock Surplus suggested. Initially, I had the high full open, low at 8 and JCO at 2, but the ride was not good or...

It seems like a lot of the suspensions are about the shock valving. Either King or Fox etc. I was never going to go to 37" so I went with the 8112 and haven't looked back. I have the 74 Weld steering rack and Next Venture aluminum skids too.
