Yup. I bought the FP winch plate second hand and seller failed to give me the reinforcement brackets. I used the LOD brackets in place. I believe everything is same steel thickness. LOD has extra bolt hole. The nut plates are also thicker along with additional brackets in the FP winch kit. I...

Eibach appear to be a solid choice, and I do think heavy duty springs are the choice especially if you like to load up stuff. We just swapped a buddy onto the heavier springs in the rear and I knows he’s considering front. We did notice his rear suspension appears to have a leak. He’s been...

Really cool thread. I may need to jump on bandwagon.

So what is the vote here? Run the teraflex 35s with maybe a runs small 37” tire like the BFG to start and hope for success? Word from the teraflex folks was to expect some rub doing that, but counter point and hear me out, so what, do it for the vine?

Okay, I have some additional shock length data, and I’m curious if any of you have thoughts could be of help in my decision paralysis here. I’m eyeballing the Teraflex falcons for the bronco, they come in 2 versions. 1 for broncos with 35s and 1 for broncos with 37s. It’s hard to find people...

Purely sarcasm, I knew you had a fire but not what caused it, so my hope was not moderate trimming of the gas tank skid plate (because worst case logic says that could happen I guess?) Looks like some overheated wire with the air compressor or winch? I bet the new brushless ARB runs cooler if...

Got you. I think by doing this coil mount mod it should help with 37in tire clearance (which doesn't seem like too big of a problem for some), the thing I'm also hoping it would do is eliminate the drive shaft from making contact with the tank skid, or a lightly trimmed tank skid, which I'm...

@SierraBronco The goal would actually be to keep the same height ultimately. I would remove 1/2-1 inch of length from the lower coil mounts effectively raising the ride height (this would improve some ground clearance at these shock brackets). I would then set the suspension to be that same...

@SierraBronco That's some great customer service, and that rear articulation is just unreal, what a great photo! I'm not sure if my thought process here makes perfect sense, but I was considering the RK 4-link running with teraflex falcons tuned for 37s. I was also planning to raise the...

@SierraBronco what has been your impression of the RK kit? This thread has been valuable reading, I was considering this setup, but seeing a couple of you regret the constant stream of mods after the install has been helpful perspective and now I'm reconsidering. Seems like keeping the 5-link...

Oh for sure, my hope is that by the next time I need to do this it's resolved. I read that one post on the other form about using a 12v battery to run the parking brake back. I'd like to scope out the signal that is sent to the e-brake before doing that, but it would likely be a better option.

I also have the 2.3L brake maintenance mode issue, I have the performance calibration and a pro cal configured 3.0 rack, not sure if either of these bricked the maintenance feature, but putting that out there. I'm here to tell you exactly what happens, and how I got around it, but attempt at...

Air compressor is under the hood. Line runs along brake lines and up through a hole I put in the taillight harness. I used universal mount from Apex and drilled two holes in the pillar and installed 2 rivnuts. Had to do a little grinding on the universal plate and bolts for added clearance.

I have a manual 2-door Sasquatch. Absolutely love it. 1) I faced the same thing in 2022 Sorta, I ordered mine in February and shortly after they closed order book entirely. I received my bronco in late 2022. Then in 2023 when the books were reopened Ford said no Base, no manual, but the...

@Oldhippie A high pressure shock pump will get you there and that's what I use, but a standard ARB compressor will get you about 135 psi real quick if you want to be somewhere in the middle.

I will say it is significantly easier, then disconnecting. I don't crawl under to air these up, I reach over the tire and have gotten pretty good at immediately locating the valve stem cap. I was worried about this since I experienced the manual disconnects, this is a very different beast. That...

You know what, you're right. I thought it was only the manuals that had the vacuum boost, but it is all 2.3L's. Honestly, I would not be deterred, I was at first, but I was also already there. I just made incremental bends to get the line relocated, being careful to not overwork the line. I do...

Thank you!

It's up, it's long. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/a-review-apex-airlynx-end-links-and-sway-bar-options.97076/

TL;DR The Apex airLYNX may be the best "disconnect" option for us non-disconnect broncos, but at the end of the day Apex brand quality and care is bar none. If you're not already familiar with Apex as a Brand, please check out their Compact Air Reel and Tire Valve stems. I've installed both of...
