Ford Performance 2" Lift Kit Coilovers for non-SAS Bronco Installed! - Impressions, Review, Photos

[Beach_Bum]

I’m 500 miles in and absolutely love the ride.

I do have the Rockjock trac bar bracket in the mail and the OEM rear sway bar, to perfect the rear end feel.

My Bronco will be setup more as a high speed dune/ gravel truck, than rock crawler.

Wheels and tires are going on Friday. RTRs and 33” Destination AT2s.

Before you put on new wheels/tires, did you take measurements before/after with the stock OBX shoes?

I did not.

Question for those with this lift...

How much rake do you have? I am at 2" of rake.

Two door, 2.7 with tow package, HD bumper and steel skid plates.

I was curious if we could swap the front springs for the heaviest duty 2 door springs, which are the XXXX-L part number.

2” rake sound about right for me also for 4 door empty. Don’t see this as a problem, specifically when I load equipment for a camping.

Same here. 2” is probably what Ford had in mind for loads and towing.

What would be the tradeoffs of this vs SAS takeoffs? Slightly lower lift (1.5 inch) but what else?

Think of these as two models above the SAS takeoffs. 4600 (SAS) > 5100 > 6100/6112 (FP Lift) > 8112.

What are the part numbers of the springs that come with the FP kit?

What are the part numbers of the springs that come with the FP kit?

For the FP 2 door coils, front springs are stamped MB3C-5310-AND which corresponds to part number MB3Z-5310-F. Rear springs are stamped MB3C-5534-ANC which corresponds to part number MB3Z-5560-F.

The heaviest 2 door application (2.7, tow, squatch, skids) would take part number MB3Z-5310-L springs up front and MB3Z-5560-C in the rear according to @North7 ’s suspension cookbook.

Curious, how did you figure out that corresponding part numbers?

So OP any long term updates/review?

Google search of stamp number will lead you to a dealer parts site with the cross reference

The 33s look a "little" small but not terrible... I think your fender flares accentuate the gap given how thin they are. Would love to see the OBX flares on there, haha. Ill try to remember to measure mine tomorrow.

Nah. It will make a huge difference. I have essentially the same lift. 2.5” on non-sas OBX. It did not look good on 33’s after the lift. It looked like a Land Rover Discovery II rolling around at max airbag height on 16’s. 35’s made a huge difference and pulled the whole thing together. There’s still a bit of room. If I ever break the axles I’ll move up to M220’s and go to 37’s.

Had the FP Bilsteins installed along with the RockJock trackbar relocation bracket. New shoes will be going on this spring.

Hello again.
Added a winch to the front of the bronco and now thinking about leveling.
I think I have about a 1.25 inch rake.
Has anyone added a 1" lift spacer on the front who have the Ford Performance 2" Lift Kit Coilovers for non-SAS?
