Thank you! One other question: are they paired with the standard UCA'S the rest of the Bronco line uses? Do I need to upgrade the UCA'S with these?
They are identical. Only control arms that are different are on Braptor.

I just realized these are available from Ford Performance for my Non-Sas OBX. You used take-offs, from what I read? And you had to use rear spacers? I wonder if the Ford Performance set would have the same issues with the rears being too short?

@RagnarKon what more have you found out? Would these be a comfort improvement over the Hitachi shocks, in addition to the lift?
I am unaware of them being available via Ford Performance. Yes, I used takeoffs. The rear spacers were not required- I added them so my Bronco would sit slightly higher in the rear than the front. (The reason that mine sat level was that the shock takeoffs are from a Wildtrak which has the heavier 2.7L engine)

These Fox shocks ride immensely better than the Hitachi shocks in every scenario. They are both softer and more supportive. They soak up the bumps and don't bottom or top out harshly.

Non-Sasquatch Broncos do not include a rear sway bar.
@RagnarKon The instructions talk of Missing parts (attachment points) on 2021 Non-Sas Broncos like mine. Do you know what's Missing and if there is a parts kit I can find before the dealer tells me, "can't install that, sorry"!

It's welded onto the frame, one on each side.

2021 Broncos didn't come with rear stabilizer bars, so many of the early 2021 builds will not have that bracket.

Thanks for the picture, is there a fix, a bracket to be welded on, or not worth the trouble?

There's no "official" fix, but yes... anyone with some metalworking experience can fabricate and weld on some brackets.

Personally, I'd just have your dealer not install the rear stabilizer bar. Ford Performance Parts are considered aftermarket components anyway, so it's not like there is a warranty to uphold or anything like that.

(Edit: You'll have some additional body roll without it, but it won't be bad. And again, none of the 2021 Broncos—both with and without the Sasquatch package—have a rear stabilizer bar,)

Frankly, I'd offer to buy the rear stabilizer bar from you, as I've been looking for one to pair with my Bilstein 8112 suspension. But I'm too far away from the Carolinas.

Thank you. If I buy those, and if I don't don't use the bracket, I'd give it to you if UPS could send it . . . You've certainly done alot of gracious and generous advising on this forum. I really want the 8112 Bilsteins, but I just can't justify the $6,000 price. But I may find a way! These "Wildtrak" Fox shocks seem like a reasonable option. We'll see, it's time for an upgrade

Well if you end up not using it let me know.

I’m thinking it would be too bulky to ship economically, but if you don’t intend on selling it locally and are willing to be flexible on price then it might be worth it.

Still super torn on these. I can get a used set for $1500 or these with a warranty for $2500 based on the posted code.

Problem is ultimately I want a 2-2.5” lift over these to run 37’s so that would mean perch collars. I’ve done this on my previous Wildtrak but I already had the coils. Seems like a waste of money if I have to buy them or maybe I’m overthinking…

Hi! Did you ever decide to go with these? I’m on the same boat. I have badlands 2024 non sas, would like to run 37s. With my budget I am being offered rough country lift kit with suspensions to get what I want. But wondering if I get this HOSS 3.0 kit and add body lift spacers if I could achieve what I want. Not a serious off roader but would like good suspension with my heavier tires.

If anyone has done this set up on badlands non SAS and achieved 37s please provide info!

I ended up going with Eibach coilovers since they were on sale for 1k less than the Hoss package. Not unhappy with the choice.

Was that all you needed to run 37s? Do you have the link? I assume you have a badlands non sas correct?

So I was doing my typical parts hunting for my Bronco Break series on YouTube (also because I'm obsessed and apparently have nothing better to do). Tonight's parts hunt found something I did not expect, and I'm sure many of you will be interested in it. So I'm sharing it now rather than waiting for the video.

Ford is now selling the HOSS 3.0 suspension kit standalone through Ford Performance! Comes with both front and rear coilovers, and a rear stabilizer bar. The wording in the product description suggests that it's intended for installation on a non-Sasquatch Bronco, but I don't see why you couldn't use it on a Sasquatch Bronco if you wanted—you just might end up with a stabilizer bar that probably matches the one you already have.

LINKS:

(ps. If anyone in the northeast buys this and doesn't need the stabilizer bar, let me know. I'll buy it off of you.)

Ford: we're sorry your Bilsteins failed. Here's some RTV to glue them back together. Don't like that repair? Okay come blow $3k instead.

I bought the coilovers and upper control arms up front. In the rear I used a track bar bracket to make the track bar more level. I have no issues but have heard mixed results from folks with 37’s and Eibach since they are 2.0 shocks. May be better to go with the Bilstein 6100 if you are doing high speed trails with 37’s. There is lots of info out there.

The 8112 Bilstein's can now be had for about 5500, the research i have done this is and awesome choice for the internal bump stops. I have been running a 3" body lift and 37's on my Squatched BL for about 2.5 years now. I think if you did something like the Bilstein and a 1.5 to 2" body lift you'd be fine. The rear bumper space is unattractive and depending on tire you may need a crash bar delete.
