HI Flip I went thru all the part numbers, thank you BTW, and cant find 2 dr Sasquatch rear Bilsteins? I found the fronts new part number is
Shock Absorber Assembly - Ford (MB3Z-18124-BA)Replaces MB3Z-18124-D but only found rears for 4 doors. Can you help out?
I have been looking for take offs but all I can find are 4 doors with 2.7 automatics and I have a 2 door 2.3 Automatic OBX. Trying to see if any match up to my vehicle, but the spring rates on the 4 doors are a bit heavy for my vehicle I think. I am not an expert. Would rather do the SAS shocks and gain and inch or so in height for my new take off SAS wheels, then do a 2" puck lift if I can help it. Also the rear ride quality suffers with the 35's and stock suspension. You feel everything.
Thanks

Flip can you ID the attached shocks and springs please? I couldn’t find these part numbers on the charts?

What you have there are engineering numbers which are different from the actual service part number. You can use either number to look up the other if the catalogue you're using has that capability.

The last two snips are front and rear springs from the cat that show both numbers. As you can see, there're a ton of different combos

Flip how do you know what they are supposed to fit? The springs are what’s crucial correct? So how do I know they are the correct ones for my application using the numbers I have provided?

Bronco suspension:

FRONT:
3 different types- Standard, Special and High Ride

11 different spring part numbers, same 11 for all three types. (only 5 are active in the parts system, prices range from about $88.00-$120.00 each)

Standard has 3 shock choices: Big Bend, Outer Banks, Base #6, WildTrak #7 or 4 door Black Diamond or 2 door Black Diamond

Special has 2 shock choices: 2 door or 4 door

High Ride has 2 shock choices: 2 door or 4 door Big Bend, Black Diamond, WildTrak #7, Outer Banks, Base #6, Preferred Series, Badlands


REAR:
3 different types-Standard, Special and High Ride

6 different spring part numbers, same 6 for all three types. (all 6 are active in the parts system, prices range from about $147.00-$165.00 each)

Standard has 3 shock choices: 2 door WildTrak #7, Base #6, Big Bend, Outer Banks or 4 door Big Bend, WildTrak #7, Outer Banks, Base #6 or Black Diamond

Special has 2 shock choices: 2 door or 4 door

High Ride has 1 shock choice: 4 door Big Bend, Black Diamond, WildTrak #7, Outer Banks, Base #6, Preferred Series, Badlands



This was taken from the MicroCat, on-line parts catalogue. The part descriptions are accurate with the exception Ford calls the two door a 3 door and a four door a 5 door. I changed those to not add additional confusion. Shocks are technically “struts” but Ford calls them a, “Shock Absorber Assembly” so I’m going to use the term shock which is universally known as a suspension dampening device. If a specific VIN was used to look up these parts, it would (should) know the correct part for that application since it uses a version of historical vehicle bill of materials provided by Ford.

Spring descriptions appear to use the engineering number which would most likely be a tag attached to the spring itself. If using a VIN, the system should be able to pick the correct one or at least narrow it down to a couple of choices. No other specifications (coil heights, number of coils or coil diameters) are in the catalogue descriptions.

I'm not going to speculate on what "Preferred Series" means.

Front spring part numbers: MB3Z-5310-A,B,C,D,E,F,J,K,L,M,N

Front Shock: STD-MB3Z-18124-A,B,C Special-MB3Z-18124-D,E High-MB3Z-18124-J,K

Rear spring part numbers: MB3Z-5560-A,B,C,D,E,F

Rear Shock: STD-MB3Z-18125-A,B,C Special-MB3Z-18125-D,E High-MB3Z-18125-K
So my question is does anyone know if I can put take off sasquatch suspension from 4 door 2.7L and install on 4 door 2.3L??

Might be physically possible but not recommended. High probability the ride will suck.

Hey @flip I saw a set of Hoss 3.0 takeoffs pop up and immediately get bought on the marketplace - any chance you could check price/availability on a new set?

Going on a 4dr 2.3auto non-squatch black Diamond - I know the WT runs heavier with the 2.7 but figure between steel capable bumpers and all the crap I carry it shouldn’t matter too much. Especially compared to my 1.0 suspension.

So I have BD thinking of getting some badlands non squatch takeoffs. Just want a better ride no so much a higher ride. Ill probably get some 33" K02 also. Do I also need the the upper control arms and links? I see the take offs for sale coming with it

I just picked up a set of sasquatch take offs that I was told came off a wildtrack.

The fronts match and both end in ARJ which I think are High package according to a post by flip

The rears do not match. One is RAK which I think is High package for rear but the other one is ARL (which I haven't seen mentioned for any of the packages).

Confirmed, picked up a mismatched rear shock. 🤬

Glad I saw this thread and checked em before installing. 🤣

Thanks all.
