Eibach Stage 2 Coilover installed on 2.7 Badlands Sasquatch

[ButteCountyBronco]

Installed new coilover today. Didn’t adjust, just slapped on out of the box.

If you are wondering what yours would look like, here you go. I hadn’t seen many threads with this lift on the 2.7.

Looks great. Did you get heavier springs in the front with the winch or just go with the regular?

Regular

Same thing went on mine Monday. I also added Zone UCAs. I still have about 1.25" in the front and about 1.5" in the back I could raise should I choose 37's in the future.

Damn that looks good.
Hows the ride quality?

Been great. Getting it aligned on Friday. I was able to maintain it decent when I marked the LCA bolts. Haven’t driven it too much yet though.

I did the exact same thing. Just slapped them on. I still have a factory rake that I despise, but I haven’t had the motivation to adjust them yet. The front is perfect but the rear needs to drop at least an inch. It really kicked it up.

Been riding with mine for a few months now. This is what it looks like maxed out with heavy springs up front. Icon uca’s and 37” Mickey Baja boss mt’s RTR 0 offset and jks max clearance kit. Kept rear crash bar mounts for the Rockblokz mud flaps. But did remove the plastic baffle behind the fender liner. No cutting anywhere and no rub while wheeling

What does adding a new coil over do?

Gives you lift with a much better ride than a cheap spacer lift does. And most of them are adjustable. But 4-10x the cost

I have a sas so lifted enough. What would simply improve ride? I’ve dropped tire pressure to 32. Helps.
Also, I think my oem Goodyears give a buzzy feel to the steering wheel.

All of this is subjective. Mine is Sasquatch as well. Lifting it further than that, you have 2 options. Spacers or coilover replacement. A spacer would inevitably make the ride stiffer and place more pressure on the factory struts. For me, the SAS struts were fine, but bouncy with a lot of nose dive, which a leveling spacer would have helped eliminate some some of that up front. But I my new suspension is nearly 3” above sas. Getting that same lift with spacers, collars and any other variation, would make a much stiffer ride. Also take into account that I was adding a heavier bumper and winch, more weight, I wanted something to handle all of that for 37” tires and still have a comfortable ride. The net result was something that rides better than factory sas struts and can take bumps off-road at 30 mph without feeling like you’re riding a bucking horse, pun intended. All while eliminating nose dive when braking. It feels more like a Cadillac off-road now

That is the perfect stance imho, what brand/url? Thanks

Your rig looks good! Just did mine too! After letting them sit in the garage for a year, I finally got round to building on the non-SAS 2.7L Bronco! Right out of the box, they sit beautifully. Next will be the upper/lower rear trailing arms followed by some RCI/Foutz skids. Cheers.
