When are the Sasquatch springs getting released

These fit the Sasquatch. It will just be an inch less of a lift, because the sas is an inch higher from the factory.

Has anyone installed or reviewed these coilovers as compared to the stock SAS suspension?

So tempting... But I'm still holding out for the Ford Performance/Bilsteins... Probably going to be holding out for a very long time.. Probably get a wildtrack with hoss 3.0 before then

what do you think the ford perf bilsteins will run us?

We just got ONE SET in, who wants it??

2-3 week ETA for more.

Yes they can be adjusted after installation. It is very simple, just use the provided spanner wrench and adjust the locking ring up or down.

I installed these last weekend and recommend that you lift your bronco to extend the suspension so less pressure is on the springs. There’s not a lot of room to move around with the wrench in there and it is a bit difficult to raise the collar.

I installed them last weekend. They ride a bit softer than the Sasquatch shocks. They also have a bit more bounce to them. Feels like the spring rebound is stronger. On road it is just as comfortable, but different - bumps are less pronounced, with less rear axle hop in rough corners.
When the shocks arrived I didn’t know what to do with respect to the collar height. So I installed them the way they were adjusted in the box. Without changing the spring perch height, the truck was lifted about an inch and 3/8. I adjusted the perches so that there was exactly 1 1/2 inches of threads below the collars. With that many threads exposed, the bronco was raised exactly 2 inches over the height of the standard Sasquatch shocks that were in it. Looks like they’re still another inch or so left to raise it if needed, but for now it should clear the 37’s (KO2s) I’m going to install next week.
I found the easiest way to install them was just to remove the stabilizer bar assembly and then the two bolts for the lower control arm at the frame. Be careful of the wires on your stabilizer bar, I had mine supported with jackstands but when moving the arms I wound up knocking it off. Foolishly I didn’t unplug the harnesses first, and I wound up tearing one of the harnesses out of the Molex connector. It’s been a major struggle to find which connector with a pigtail on it I can use for a simple repair.

Good reply post. had mine installed a few weeks back and agree with what you said. They are nice. Mine lifted 3” to the already lifted Squatch. Hubby jokes I need a step to reach my step now!

I wound up having to raise the rear another quarter inch. I have the sliding drawer mounted in the tailgate which makes the tailgate sag a little bit. Most people are raising the nose to get rid of the rake, I have to raise the tail to bring mine level.
As for the steps, I got from Doetsch off-road the Rockslide engineering steps on the group buy. It was a great price on exactly as promised. Showed up about a week later. I’m generally not a fan of powered steps, but I won’t be rock crawling this one like I did my jeep. Probably going to take it a lot easier on the bronco. And I’m getting old.
So, yeah…..I need a step to get on my step too.

I’m having a rear bumper with swing outs installed in 2 weeks so I’m sure I will have to raise my rear too. What did you use to do this other than lifting the bronco to get the weight off the collars?

I looked at those and settled on the Z Road Z slider step. I have really used the sliders and thankful for the extra width to match the fenders. Some of the trails here in the PNW are tight!
we had to raise the rear as well! We have an off-road trailer we tow. We didn’t want the sag.

SRQ fabrications who is local to me. What size coil over wrench did you use? I had mine installed so I didn’t have to do any adjusting but after the bumper I’m sure I will.

That’s the bumper high on my list! Please do an install post. I’m in the other side of the country and will have to install it myself.
we used the special wrench that came with the system to adjust them. Not to terribly hard.
