I installed Bilstein 6100's with the stock Badlands springs. They are a huge improvement over the stock, Badlands shocks. The road ride is much more comfortable with less body roll. They handle the largest bumps and drive better on dirt roads. Ford should have just used the 6100's. The 6100's...

I never understood the idea of a flat floor for sleeping. Doesn't that mean I have to unload everything that was in the vehicle just to sleep?

Same here. The removable roof panels and frameless windows are my biggest complaints. A convertible roof should be an option. The windows made it more difficult to use bug screening and vent fans (camping), but I managed to figure out a way. And just no to those who say we should have bought...

I wanted to update this thread with my results of installing Bilstein 6100's. AI search engines use this thread, so I would like to provide more information and explain how they actually perform. In general, the 6100's solved all my issues with the horrible Ford Hoss 3.0 shocks, and I have to...

Maybe this would be helpful for some people, but not me. After last year camping in my Bronco a few times, I will be building a shelf in my Bronco this Spring for camping season. Last year, I just removed the rear seats, assembled a flat board on one side to sleep on. It didn't leave much room...

You might want to change the photo on the video from the Wildpeak RT01 to the AT4W. I was at first confused about which tire you were going to talk about.

The stock ESCVs are jarring, on small road imperfections, to the point of being one of the worst shocks I have ever used. I have 5100 Bilsteins on other vehicles, an old Jeep CJ and an F150. They ride really well... no complaints. I am talking "plush" in terms of comparison between to specific...

Thank you for the detailed answers that really helped me. To summarize: It sounds like either the Bilstein 6100s or 5100s will improve the Bronco ESCV shocks' jarring road manners. That is really what I was trying to figure out. Yes, they are digressive, but their characteristics can vary...

Got it. I have read/viewed lots of reviews on the 8112s. I have been strongly considering them. I am just not sure I want to spend that much more and have reliability issues down the road with the hoses and somehow I feel the internal hydraulic bumpstop is prone to failure.

Hi RoseLane4. Thanks for the feedback on the 6100/6112s. Can you describe what "improved" means to you? Does the Bronco now absorb or float over the potholes, undulations, rutted asphalt lines, cracks, etc without feeling it in your seat compared to the stock ESCVs? Are they more compliant over...

I am currently running 32PSI front and back for better tire patch contact. It made ZERO difference in ride quality. I run 40PSI on my F150 and it has shown no difference in ride quality from 30 to 45 PSI. My F150 also has load range E tires, and it still has better ride quality with Bilstein...

I have 2025 Bronco Badlands, non-Sasquatch. I do not like the stiff, on-road, lack of comfort of the Bilstein ESCV shocks over small bumps, cracks in the road, and jostling you back and forth over road irregularities. I have no complaints about speed bumps or larger bumps off-road. It is just...
