AGM Everglades on 38’s. New suspension mods

[KompressorV12]

This is very true, the springs are soft. I have them on a 2dr MT and for that setup they are great! Any stiffer and it would top out too easy. Eibach has since admitted that one spring for all Bronco variants wasn't the best idea, and they are working on heavier ones. There is a pretty clear reason why there are so many different spring part #'s from Ford

Damn even a 2 door 2.3 saying they’re soft. I’m still shocked when people say stiffer than factory lol

Taller, yet softer is what they tried...it works for me, but the heavier the Bronco the less the advantage.

keeping an eye on this build. I have been stressing adding a lift and moving up to 37s. I love the ride as it sits and have done some fairly Hard core trails at K2 with no issues, but the 37s + just look good, and bigger is better. thinking of just running the DV8 inner fenders and Running 37s. I don't want to do the upper control arms because I love the Glades wheels and not a fan of spacers. But if I had to change wheels, it would be the Jackhammers. maybe I will wait to see how the 74 weld Portals turns out.

Not sure why you can’t run an aftermarket UCA and the stock wheels. This is zone 3”, 37’s and stock wheels no spacer

Bronco went to get suspension installed today. Won’t have it back for a week and due to work stuff I won’t be able to get anything else done for a couple weeks. It’s killing me. Patience sucks.


The bronco below is 37’s and I believe no lift. I’ve reached out to the owner but haven’t heard back yet. This and the bronco in my last post is what made me wonder if I could go 39’s with a 2-3” lift. The Everglades fenders have much more clearance than that standard fenders/flares. I’m sure there will be issues but solving those is the fun part.

Neither of these broncos are mine to be clear. Just found them online/social media

You should be fine. I have 2.5" suspension in the front and a 1" body lift with true 38's. Other than crash bars and cutting the rock rails you should be good.

well shoot i thought the AM UPCs did not allow clearance with the factory wheel offset. Man that looks good.

Yeah, I really want to keep the stock wheels but I’m afraid of the weight issue. They’ll be fine with 37’s and even the c rated 38’s but the 39’s are super heavy.

yeah I was looking at the c range 37" BFGs and they are only slightly heavier than the Goodyears.
But you can't go wrong with the Jack hammers I wanted to add them to my Teardrop build I am building to kinda match the glades wheels but I am just doing aluminum trailer wheels for now. might add them later.

Any progress pictures? I’m itching to see this thing move along!

Me too!!!! It’s still at Eibach and I’m out of town until this weekend so unfortunately nothing to report until next week.

Eibach’s are on and it‘s sitting pretty. Just got back in town and have put around 30 miles on it. Rides MUCH better than factory. I opted for the HD rear springs and it‘s considerably higher in the rear with the coilovers at 50% while the front coilovers are maxed out. It definitely has more rake than I wanted. I opted for the HD springs based on some members complaining how soft the Eibach coilovers are and if the bronco is loaded up, it sags in the rear. With the HD springs I have enough adjustability to raise it about 1.5 inches once loaded. Eibach doesn’t advise using a higher spring rate on the front. In order to tackle the rake, I could lower the rear down but in keeping with the idea of running 39’s I’m going to add a 1” leveling lift up front. I’m considering doing a 2” and lowering the coils down as I don‘t like running them maxed out. My biggest concern is cv angle so once I get this all together I’ll probably need a diff drop. I also installed Icon tubular arms and if the bushing angle on them becomes extreme I’ll add the RC knuckles from their 5” lift to correct it. Lastly, I’ll definitely need an adjustable trac bar as my rear wheels are about an inch off to the left. Forgot to take measurements pre-lift but going to ask in the Everglades forum if someone is willing to measure theirs. I’ll get some post lift measurements tomorrow.

38.5” up front and 40” in the rear
