Hey Dusty
Are the stock springs the only option? I added a front bumper, skid plate and winch to my 4 door wildtrack. It sagged about 1.5" and I was looking for a stiffer spring to at least bring it back to stock and maybe a little more.

ICON sells complete coilover kits too. But the EXP's are designed to re-use the stock springs. The shock does have several height settings though, so you could use that to "lift" the front a little higher.

We have their coilover shocks in stock (front and rear) with remote reservoir that would ship out immediately if you're interested @Jmart52. We also have UCA's, lower and upper links, and trac bars in stock currently.

Do you have the internal reservoir rear coilovers in stock (#48610)?

I was actually looking for springs only with a higher rate to hold the weight of bumper, winch, etc. The stock shocks are ok for now. I'm not at the point to spend the money on new coilovers yet. I talked to eibach and they are working on just that. Should be out in a couple months.

Curious as to what the travel is with this setup vs say a ICON stage 3-8 that has what 11.5in front and 14in rear?

For the cost what is the rub...assuming more than factory badlands non-squatch.

They say same as factory so would expect 7.9 front 8.4 rear total not usable

Did you get aftermarket track bars? I got the eibach coil overs, zone UCA and fabtech rear lowers (resulting in a 3” lift) but have no idea how to know if my rear axel is centered or not? Had a alignment after install and everything is great as far as ride goes but still not sure about track bar

@Dusty what all do I need to build these into a complete coilover without robbing parts off my Bilsteins?
You need the coil spring and the top mount (both the metal piece and the rubber seat).

Thanks. So that would be part 7 and 8, but what about 5, 9 and 10?

5 is the bumpstop, 9 is the 3 nuts that hold the coilovers in and 10 is the nut that holds the coilover together. You would reuse #9 with the new install, but need to acquire 5 and 10 if you don't want to use the parts on your stock coilovers.

Wait, you don't reuse #5, the bumpstop as the new shocks most likely come with their own bumpstop. So, all you would need is the nut that holds the top hat on, unless the new shocks come with a new nut.

talk about not being any help at all. I should have stayed out of this.

5 is the shock boot and bumper, those aren't re-used. The kit includes a new bumpstop and doesn't use a boot. The kit includes a new top nut (10). I don't recall whether it includes the three mounting nuts (9).

Awesome. 6 is on the way, I'll get 7 and 8 ordered and should be set.
