I purchased a set of take-off Sasquatch coilovers for $250, not knowing with any level of certainty if they will fit my 2-door base (2.7l, auto) which was just scheduled for production. I don't know what type of Bronco they came off of as the seller provided conflicting info.

Here are the part #s from each component:
Front
Shock: MB3Z-18124-K
Coil: MB3Z-5310-L

Rear
Shock: NB3Z-18125-C
Coil: NB3Z-5560-E

Will also be upgrading the wheels and tires at the same time, of course (style, sizing tbd at this point).

In terms installing the Sasquatch suspension components above, what's the worst thing that could happen? I end up with a nasty Carolina Squat?

read the last few posts in this thread

My guess says that the coils should be fine (maybe a little light in the springs, so might be a 2.3 without tow).

Here is what I ordered for my 2 door OBX to emulate the 2 door non-sasquatch Badlands suspension. I have the 2.7 advanced 4x4 with the Lux and Tow packages. 4610 lbs per the rail company.

I might add that it looks like the person who sold you this mixed and matched 2021 front and 2022 rear parts.

The table was built from information provided by @flip at this post.

If the above is a Ford change I will add a note to post #1.

Sounds good. Doesn’t look to be a Ford change. I don’t see any supersession, but maybe he can verify what I see. Thanks

Any idea what the difference is between the MB3Z-5560-J and MB3Z-5560-K rear shocks? Is it the perch height, valving or both?

Interesting! I'll probably still proceed with the install at some point down the road. I'm very curious to see how it turns out.

I've not seen any information detailing the differences, since these are proprietary Ford parts under contract from Bilstein, I'm not sure we will know until someone dissects some of the various models.

I think you mean 18125-J and 18125-K, not 5560-F and 5560-K. But no, I’m not sure what the difference between the two are.

You're right. I just corrected my post. Thanks.

Although I don't have enough information to confirm, I suspect that it would only be valving - however that's an intuitive guess.

Post #1 Update - 8/22/2022

"Bronco Suspension Cookbook"

See new table below for upgrade specific part numbers for Badlands and Sasquatch suspension.


"Bronco Suspension Cookbook" - UPDATE 8/22/2022
Some numbers have changed since the original Table 6 list. There're a couple notes indicating one shock went from a -E to -BC, top hat for the front changed and went to a "fine pitch" thread on the 3 studs that are on top on some '22s (no specific start date info, possible cataloguing error). If ordering parts double check your VIN number for your vehicle specifics.

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
