I think the 2 door Sasquatch shock numbers still need to be double checked. Here are the numbers I’m coming up with:

2.3 auto - tow and none tow
Front shocks: MB3Z-18124-J
Rear shocks: MB3Z-18125-J

2.7 auto - tow and none tow
Rear shocks: MB3Z-18125-BE
Which catalogue are you looking these up with and are you using a VIN?

Yeah I have VINs for each configuration then using HVBOM. None of them show a supersession. I figured HVBOM would be more accurate then any catalogue.

Interesting. I looked up via VIN using Microcat, HVBOM and cross checked in DOW. That said, there could definitely be cataloguing errors which could've been worked out over the last month or two.

That’s very possible. I have the VINs handy if you’d like to double check them when you have time. I can PM them to you.

2022 Black Diamond 2.7L AT MIC

@flip I'd really appreciate your help clarifying part # details on an upgrade. I have a 4 door Black Diamond with 2.7L AT and Non-Sasquatch.


I'm planning on running Bilstein 6100s shocks and Sasquatch springs for a 4 door Black Diamond 2.7L Auto on my truck. I was inspired by this video, but her Bronco is 2.3L and a 2 door.

Part numbers for the 6100's are:

24-318594 (Front)
24-318600 (Rear)

I was planning on using the bump stops/shock insulators from the OEM Bilsteins instead of my Hitachis. I figured they'd work far better than the Hitachi ones. Their part #s are:

MB3Z-18198-C (Front)
MB3Z-5K570-C (Rear)

The shocks are the hard part. The part numbers I'm finding for the Sasquatch springs for a 4 door Black Diamond with a 2.7L AT are all over the place. FordOEM sites like this are telling me that almost every spring I put in from the OP table (attached) are Sasquatch. It seems like most of them just copy/paste the same info from somewhere.

The table suggests that these are the correct part #s for my upgrade:

MB3Z-5310-N (Front)
MB3Z-5560-C (Rear)

Can you please clarify for me if the part #s from the table are accurate for a 4D 2.7L AT Black Diamond Sasquatch? If not, can you point me in the right direction?

They are correct to the best of my knowledge and sampling I did. It's entirely possible some of this could change at some point as it has already in the last 6 months.

Something that I noticed, since apparently I have the "wrong" front spring, is that Ford apparently used a substitute spring on the vehicle VIN that I used. It looks like what I really should have gotten was F-spring but ordered the C-spring, which honestly should not be a problem with the plastic bumper up front.

It strikes me that the spring rate is probably real close between the various Broncos, but that the heavier Broncos do get a beefier spring. For instance, the typical difference in front end weight between a 2.7 and 2.3 is only 150#.

I might’ve missed this. But does a badlands WITH Sasquatch ride higher than a standard Sasquatch?
I do not believe that it does.

It's tempting to get the 6100 front shocks just to put the Hitachi springs in there to get an amazing Carolina Squat... LOL

Badlands with Sasquatch = plus 0.43" higher than Badlands

There is only one version of Sasquatch, so when you add it to the Badlands it = standard Sasquatch

Badlands with Sasquatch = Sasquatch

I have bought some Sasquatch take off wheels and tires for my eventual Badlands Non-SAS Bronco. What are the off-roading implications of installing a spacer lift for something as small as 0.5-1 inch ,for the Badlands suspension specifically, to help it fit the 35s without body contact (assuming I also remove crash bars)?

I understand spacers usually limit travel, however I have seen from reading this thread that the stock sasquatch suspension has bumpstops? that limit travel anyways. I'm in process of trying to understand all this, but I am struggling here a bit with understanding the difference in what this does to suspension travel. Importantly, what will I lose installing a 0.5-1 inch spacer lift on a badlands suspension?

Alternatively, I know I could install Bilstein 5100s, however I did this on my F150 FX4 (different application I understand though) and it resulted in a stiffer ride, something I am looking to avoid while living on a 2 mile long washboard road. I'm not sure if the Bilstein's are inferior, equal, or superior to the stock Hitachi's in this regard, it appears most people that have experience with this say it results in a stiffer ride (albeit many people are increasing height by 2+ inches with these).

This bronco will be used for exploring and trails, so if a spacer is going to limit it too much I will sacrifice ride quality to get the suspension lift.

Here's my thoughts on the subject, I believe that if you remove the crash bars and use the proper wheel offset, then you should have no problem with running 35's.

I have a 2021 OBX with 33.5" tires on a 17x9 +30 offset rim. The didn't rub with the stock OBX shocks, springs, and crash bars.

However, as you can see in the following pictures, I now have the Badlands shocks and springs installed. I also removed the crash bars. Look at the amount of room I have. I am pretty confident that I can put 35's in there with no other modifications.

all pictures are of drivers side front.
