Coilover come to Jeebus

[Arokcrwlr]

OK, I've been following the Icon coilover issues where the coil springs contact factory tierods and aftermarket sleeves. I read that they are addressing the issue to provide greater offset to clear factory tierods and some sleeves - which is good to hear. They are also developing a beefier tierod designed to give even more clearence, but they won't be available until Q1 2023 at the earliest. I was leaning toward Icon before all of this came to light and I can't for the life of me figure out how this wasn't seen I testing.

Anyhow, I'm not ruling out Icon - I really think when it's all said and done they will have a great system, but it looks like it may delay availability even longer than it already is.

I would really like to know if any issues have been seen with any of the other players in the market - Fox, King, Radflo, Eibach, or even the new Bilstein 6100s, or any others that I'm forgetting.

Lastly, are any brand coilovers currently in stock anywhere? I'm not dropping several $ks on coilovers and have to wait 6 months plus to receive them. First world problem - I know...

I'm also interested in a coilover lift. Add ARB Old Man EMU to your list. System looks really interesting but also stock issues.

Just fyi.... we have ONE set of Eibach coilovers IN STOCK. This is a popular product that moves fast, if you are interested I would definitely recommend jumping on this. Great product at an even better price!

Just wanted to throw it out there. I have the Icon Stg4 setup with rock jock lower rear links and the ride is pretty awesome IMO. I've put about 700ish miles and 1 offroad trip on them.

On road - a little firmer than stock sasquatch but not rough at all. I also went to 37's and even with those it handles and drives basically stock feeling.

Off-road - I didn't air down this last trip and with the icon's it felt like I had. Soaks up the bumps so nicely. Also couple spots where I pulled a rear tire in the air it stayed on the ground.

I'm still stock tie-rods (I live my life one bad decision at a time).

You missed it by an hour
I can check when our next batch is due in, if you want to claim a set.

No worries, thanks! I already have a set on order without an eta, but randomly saw this post and thought about grabbing them Thanks!

Can you take a measurement of lower cup height?
Another mfg is at 6.5” and I believe clears everything.

Little bit of a weird angle but you get idea.

I recommend starting a chat with Panda on their site. I asked about a set of King's last Monday on chat (they replied on chat that they were out of stock) and low a behold a couple days later I received a chat message from our conversation in my email that they had a set pop up and asked if I wanted them. I was able to grab them and they threw in a free T-Shirt as well!

You beat me to that set. Got an email to give them a call. By the time I did the 1 set was gone. Lol

Ok. Looks like the extra 1/2” of height might clear the tie rod.

Yea I think worst case scenario a little spacer down there like you get in some of the cheaper lifts would move the cup high enough to not make contact. These little guys

I don't make contact that I can tell but haven't fully flexed it out since install.

For a check, worst case for interference is full droop of the suspension and full lock on the steering.

Been seeing a lot about how a lift will affect a few of the other factory suspension bits. What are some kind of supporting mods that Bronco owners should also consider before doing something like a 2.5-3" coilover lift?
