If non-competing contracts follow the Raptor, then I assume Bilstein will offer these for the Bronco in a few years.

Thanks for the temptation and overview. Same available for 2002 or 2003 f250?

Great video, I believe the stock Bilstien ESCV shocks on the BL, WT, FE and Sasquatch are based on the 8112 coilovers.

Update: To clarify, I spoke with a Bilstein rep and while the Bilstien ESCV coilovers. are based on the 8112 coilovers in concept, they are designed to a production price point and are not rebuildable.

So spitball...$3,600 for front and rear ($1,800 for front) not bad as I assume these would be a step up from the factory HOSS on the Sasquatch, BL, WT and FE setups.

If these are meant to "replace" Squatch type setups and the factory height, having 2in of adjustability would be perfect for those wanting 35 or 37's.

Wonder if they are rebuildable?

They should be.

If a buyer is going to start having shock fade or not enough damping in higher speed off road use, I would assume that Fox/King/Radflo/Bilstein will offer a fairly upgraded setup. Even Fox had an upgraded set up for the Raptors, even though they made the OEM units.

Bilstien already markets the upgraded 8112 shocks for the Toyota Crowd.
I assume right out of the gate, they will have a full rebuildable/revalvable/remote reservoir set-up for the guys who don't have the HOSS set-up from Ford.

Correct. The OEM units have the same tech wrapped into the sealed units. Likely some lower cost components to keep the cost down. Think stamped/cast/sintered components vs. machined from billet.

Might be different now, but I thought back to the Release of the Raptor and Fox needed to wait some time period to release their own bolt-in coil-over variant. About a year and a half to two years.
Slightly different as the Raptor shocks are re-buildable/re-valvable. I do not believe the Bilstien units are re-buildable/re-valvable to the novice or even intermediate guys.

So are these possibly going to be available for the Bronco? (Are they the rumored upgraded ones?) And about how much a corner ballpark will they run?

Stage 3 website has placeholders for a bunch of different full size Bronco suspension kits. Super cool!

I think the OEM HOSS sfor the Bronco has a 3" adjustability?

If non-competing contracts follow the Raptor, then I assume Bilstein will offer these for the Bronco in a few years.

I also thought I heard somewhere that the OEM HOSS had 3" of adjustability. Cant find it ATM. Check this out:

Not gonna lie, these look MUCH better than yellow!

All Bronco's are fixed shocks, no adjustability, the 3" adjustable ones are from 4WP, not OEM.

Where did you read or hear your incorrect infomation?

Unless there are different settings hiding underneath the spring perch, the stock springs are not adjustable. Even if they do have different settings for the spring perch, they would have to be removed and re assembled to adjust height. I've seen nothing to say they have more than one spring perch setting.

I'll be looking at options to replace the Bilstein's on my FE. I did an AEV Suspension on my 2014 JKU that included Bilstein's and lost one after 20K miles. Also have a 2015 Tacoma TRD-Pro that had factory installed Bilstein's - lost one of those at 45K miles.
