Please help me identify these

Hi guys,

I got a set of 2023 Badlands SAS takeoff shocks and springs and was curious to match them against the suspension cookbook thread, but I cannot match these part numbers.

Here is what I have:

Shocks:

MB3С-18045-RBK
NB3C-18080-RFC

Springs:

MB3C-5310-AXA
NB3C-5534-ASB

How come these aren't on the thread? Could it be because part numbers changed in 2023 models?

Any help would be truly appreciated.

Are you looking at the part numbers on the white label with QR code or the actual part numbers on the shocks?

Hi,
These are what I'm looking at:

Thank you

those numbers on my 22 don't match up to the actual numbers, and if there was a supercession, it would be noted in the parts listing.

FWIW, the front springs on my wildtrak end in ASA, so I think it corresponds with the different single letter suffixes in the suspension cookbook.

I'm sure they have updated some of the part numbers, but do you have a question of compatibility with your bronco, or just curious on the numbers? You'll get a little more lift than a Badlands because you are lighter, but won't really know exactly how much until you install them. Should get 1 inch +/- 0.2 depending on weight difference.

Thank you for your help. I was interested to locate them in the cookbook thread to 1) find out if they are in fact off a 2023 SAS BL and 2) find out how much height I would gain on my BD.
Thank you

were you able to confirm these were BL SAS?

were you able to confirm these were BL SAS?

MB3C-18045-RBK = MB3Z-18124-K
NB3C-18080-RFC = NB3Z-18125-C

MB3C-5310-AXA = MB3Z-5310-N
NB3C-5534-ASB = NB3Z-5560-F

So these appear to be 4 door SAS takeoffs

What you have shown are ENGINEERING numbers NOT part numbers. Ducati has posted the actual part numbers that go with the engineering numbers.

I was not expecting my post to resurface after 4 months. I’ve been driving with the BL SAS takeoffs for 4 months and love them. My only issue is when I load up the Bronco for a camping trip, the rear sags a bit. I might put a set of Dobinson springs in the future and leave some weight in the back. So far, I am undecided on that.

I have a deal for the same pair of takeoffs for my 2024 BD that arrives next week. The guy is selling me them for $250 with a set of running boards that I don’t need. So I was going to sale them and the takeoffs would be free. So they work fine? Do you have any pictures?

With my setup, the Bronco sits level. Which I do not like. Once I add my camping gear, the rear sags by about an inch or more. I'm finalizing a few things before I decide on new rear springs. Ideally, the rear should be higher than the front by about 1 1/2 inches when the car is empty. That way, when fully loaded, it will be somewhat leveled. At least, that is my personal preference.

However, with a higher spring rate comes a harsher ride when not loaded. Since I daily mine, I have no idea what to do! Some suggested air helpers, but I cannot find any for the Bronco.

Once I add a winch, the front will sag slightly. I just don't know by how much. So, mine is a work in progress!
