I don't mean to be contentious but it's interesting how you can tell me whether or not I upgraded my Bronco. If I'm happier with my Bronco after the change and enjoy the ride quality more, how can that be a bad thing? Different strokes for different folks I guess. I have a Turbo RZR with...

My vote is for a 1 piece hard top with a sun roof.

So I got the 5100s installed on the Bronco. It't a lot more difficult than installing new shocks in a Jeep Wrangler. :oops: Changing shocks in a coil-over is a pain! But wow! It made a big difference and I am very happy with the outcome. They took all the harshness away. It is still firm...

I watched that video about a week ago and is what convinced me to try the 5100s. Hopefully they work as good as I am hoping they will.

Another cheap option might be the Bilstein 5100 shocks. I ordered a set for my 4 door Badlands last week for just under $500 and received them Friday. I will be installing them tomorrow and I'll let you know how they are if you are interested. My main motivation for getting the 5100s was ride...

I got tired of waiting for Fox and started doing more research. I found that the Bilstein 5100 shocks are probably what I want to make the ride softer on rough roads at slow to moderate speeds. I found a deal on them yesterday at Stage 3 Motorsports for $490 and I could not pass them up. I am...

I really wonder if the folks at Tire Rack are correct. We have KO2s on our Bronco and my son has a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that also has KO2s of the exact same size. The Bronco has a much firmer and harsher ride. The KO2s may contribute to the harch ride but it is not the cause. It's the shocks!

I love my Bandlands Bronco but the biggest dissapointment has been the ride quality. It is very rough and harsh at slow to medium speeds over moderately rough roads. Most of what we do is explore mountain roads. Two of my sons have Jeep Wranglers and their ride is way more comfortable. I...

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me more about "... handles bumps much better." I am looking for a shock that will provide more complience or a softer ride when going slowly or at medium speed over small or medium sized bumps. The SAS Bilstiens are so harsh and rough over these small bumps...

Awesome project. Thanks for sharing!!! I have a Badlands and one of the things that has always bothered me with Ford's implementation of the stabilizer bar disconnect is that it only works in 4-low and 4-high. It does not work in 4-auto or 2-high. I find that an interesting choice by Ford as...

Unfortunately we have not. We are still running the stock Bilsteins. I just can't justify spending $4,000+ for shocks. I talked to Fox over 1.5 years ago and they said they were working on something other than their Elite Series shocks. But as far as I know, they have never released them...

So I have to know... do you really have 62,000 miles on your Bronco? If so, that is good news for those of us that have 2.7 hotzone engines that have not failed.

Yep, also waiting for a digital dash that will replace the analog speedometer.

That picture was taken in the Kaibab Forest south of Kanab. We were there wheeling this past week. It was AWESOME!

Snow Wheeling has become our new favorite winter activity! 😁
