Good coilovers coming to market?

[rutherk1]

Hello Bronco fans. I'm looking to put 35s on by non SAS Badlands but wanted 1.5 to 2 inches lift before I do that.

I see that 4WP has coil-overs that give some lift but I am not sure who is making them for 4WP. I haven't heard them as being a product brand.

I have used Carli, King, ICON, FOX, BDS and every combination of those in the past with good luck.

Should I wait on one of these other brands or are these 4WP products the real deal?

Thanks.

Thanks. I saw that. OME has been around for ever so they probably are going to have something good.

I'm curious to the 4WP stuff too. Looks like decent stuff. I have always bought stuff from them but never knew they were getting into designing/manufacturing.

Here's the Fun-Haver parts.

Fox 2.5's

It won't be long before aftermarket has numerous options, I'd wait it out.

Personally would stay away from buying such a critical component from 4WP. Wait till the Camburg and Icon’s of the world have a kit out there making use of actual good coilovers with valving and rate setups that have been tested on the vehicle.

This is what I am leaning towards. I had all ICON stuff on my old super duty and they are top notch.

I talked with CJC Offroad about if they had any knowledge if Carli would be getting into the Bronco game. I was told not anytime soon. I have ran Carli kits on my last two trucks and they are the best in the game.

Apparently King makes some for the bronco, not sure where or when you could get some.

Did he comment anything? I already pre-ordered and was told by the end of year.

That looks like the hot setup.

I just talked to Icon. They are currently in R&D but didn’t give an ETA. Looks like a couple options on the horizon.

These look nice, but I wish the coilover companies would publish actual specifications. They probably won't since they only want to make one generic model, and it would look bad in some cases. For example, are the rubber bump stops on these set up for 35" or 37" tires? Do they maintain sasquatch max CV angle or push it a little on hard hits? I'm not knocking them, my point is that it is difficult to compare the various alternatives without any useful information.

Opinion:
non-BL non-SAS for Baja 35":

Remote reservoir coilover (Fox/King)​

non-BL non-SAS for Trails 35":

Non-remote-reservoir coilover (Ford,4WP)​

non-BL non-SAS for Street 35":

Spacers on factory low-articulation black shocks (4WP/Zone)​

non-BL non-SAS for Street 37":

Cheapest adjustable coilover (4WP)​

non-BL non-SAS for Trails 37":

better: coilover with 37" bumpstop (if anybody makes one)​

good: non-remote reservoir coilover (4WP)​

BL/SAS leveled 33/35":

unknown: 1" spacer kit (Zone, RoughCountry - overextend CV?)​

better: longer springs on front​

good: perch collar on front​

BL/SAS for Trails 37":

best: coilover with 37" bumpstop (if anybody makes one)​

better: longer springs on bilsteins (Eibach?)​

good: perch collar on bilsteins (RPG)​

Baja 37":

Buy a Bronco Raptor (or very expensive wide-body suspension)​

I'd wait for Fox, King, Icon, etc etc. Fun Haver and Bronco Factory are also movers and shakers coming up with kits to watch out for.

I am looking to run 35's on a non SAS BD and looking for a 2" lift. Not planning on rock Crawling, but will go higher speed off road.

The vid on the comparisons have me sold on the Fox Factory 3.0's.





What are thoughts on these beauties?
