Fox Coilover alternatives?

[Bird Dog Off Road]

@ColoradoKid26 @Broncobro04

We put together this discounted kit with Eibachs and Zone UCA, id recommend this to anyone, fantastic bang for your buck.

If you are interested let me know and ill see what I can do to get you a deal!

What offerings to you have that include adjustable reservoirs? I already have the Zone Offroad UCAs from their 3" kit and would like to keep them, but would like to upgrade to coilovers with 3" over Sasquatch and adjustable compression. I'm too tired of waiting for Fox to get their shit together.

I ended up going the spacer route to save some money and I’m going to use my refund for other things. But I see the radflo coilovers and they look pretty nice and the reviews are good. They’re adjustable and you can get extended travel or OEM length

Looks like most ICON kits with external reservoirs are in stock, I'd be happy to talk stage options and pricing!

I love my King Shocks!!!!

I'm not very knowledgable about suspension components - What's so great about the King shocks? What do you like about them?

It doesn't matter if you get Fox/King/Eibach/Rancho/Etc. What matters is if they are valved well and setup for your truck and your needs. I would much rather have some 'crappy' Eibach coil overs that are perfectly tuned than Kings that are off the rack.

Are you planning on changing the valving on eibach's? I've yet to hear of anyone doing any custom valving, yet. I'm pretty sure most, if not all, have off the shelf eibach's installed. I've personally replaced seals and valve stacks on kings before and they are very straightforward to work on, readily available parts and not to mention lots of videos online as well.

I was in the same boat as you waiting for the Fox Shocks to be available. But after repeated delays and over a year wait I cancelled my order and went with the Icon Stage 8. Wow! What a great suspension system. I do not miss the Fox setup and and Very happy I chose the Icon instead.

Yeah I was checking into those today. Do they have any kind of mileage warranty? I can see paying $10K for that but would be sick if I had to replace parts at 30K or whatever.

I think the king and fox are on par with each other. I like the king shocks being blue in color. It stands out to me more than the fox. Versus stock they feel so much better driving. More response able to handle changes in road or terrain better. You also gain shock travel which is good for off road over the stock ones as well.

I’m curious about the stage 8 performance. I’ve been looking at their stage 3 through stage 8 options to replace my hoss 2.0 on my wildtrak. I need solid performers for street, off road and towing my off grid trailer in both areas. I have Magna ride on my Mustang so I like the electronic compression dampening adjustment option. i have a 10% off code for icon and I have been keeping the cart live as I keep looking at them. I have been trying to find some good bronco reviews using them.

First of all, I do not work for Icon and don't receive any commissions. The information on the Icon website will explain better than I can.

The Icon Stage 8 has Computer Controlled Shocks. It senses changes in a millisecond and adjusts accordingly.

You make all the adjustments via APP on your smart phone. I have mine set on 2 out of 10 so the ride is very soft on the road. However, I can also adjust the G-Forces (front dive and rear squat) and side to side at the same time. I have both of these settings maxed out at 10. The Bronco stays flat in the corners and stays flat when you slam on the brakes or accelerate hard. The harder you push it, the more G-Forces are created and the more response you get from the computer of the suspension.

In addition, there is also an Off Road mode and a Tow mode. Again, you can make these adjustments via APP on your phone to whichever setting you choose. You really are in control on how your vehicle rides at all times.

This is an amazing suspension system and my lifted Bronco with 37s is NOT supposed to drive like it does.

The Icon Stage 8 is expensive. So, buy the Upper Control Arms, Electronic Shocks and the Computer to start with. Then get the other rear links and adjustable trac bar as you are able. This is what I did for my 2-Door. I had the stage 8 pieced together over time and will install it soon.

I have the Stage 8 with the electronics. It’s definitely on par with the SDI EClik system I have in my Raptor. I wish the Icon ran a gauge like the EClik, but it is what it is.

It definitely works, and you can feel it. You make adjustments off your phone. I’ve only been on road so far, but I’m going to Baja in April. The only real bitch I have is after I bought the system, and had it installed (don’t like putting in suspensions without a lift), I found out the system is only compatible with an iPhone, and I had a Samsung Droid. Key the word “had”, .

I know it’s somewhat expensive, but I really think it’s worth it. Especially if you plan on doing any off roading.

Thanks for the input. I’ll look at what it costs separate vs a package and weigh that out as well.

Thanks for the input. I really think this is the best option for me

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the Eibach coilover and UCA's for my Sasquatch, and call it good.

I get it, I've been wating too. There is a lot of conflicting information out there.

I have the eibachs, cheap, soft like factory and adjustable. I’m happy for now. Waiting for my Baja kits UCA. Everglades btw
