So I ordered the new Rampage soft top for my 2 door badlands on the 14th. Got delivered on the 17th. Packaging was pretty solid. Came in three separate labeled boxes packed into one large box.
Fast forward to yesterday, we installed the top. It took roughly 2.5 hours but that included beer...
They are the factory bilstein springs and struts. The front has a preload collar. But even in the video of the jump landing, the rear still seems like it can tuck the tire a bit more
I’ll also add that the rear does not have a sway bar, only the front
Tire to fender clearance in the rear compared to the front. In the front it’s good, tucks all the way in without crushing the fender. In the rear, there’s quite the gap between the fender and tire and I’m trying to figure out how to close that gap
I may have misspoke, but I was going off of how much clearance there is between the tire and fender. Maybe should’ve said wheel travel instead of compression.
Would the rear upper control arms affect this? I installed new lowers but didn’t even touch the uppers. And it’s possible that I could be on the bump stop, it’s just weird that the bump stop in the rear would limit me that much
Alright y’all, so here’s the deal. I have a 3” lift on a Sasquatch’d badlands. The rear seems like it still has a few inches of compression left and I’m trying to figure out what the limiting factor is. I would say it’s the lift, which the front is composed of a perch collar and a top spacer...
They’ll definitely fit. Under articulation circumstances off-road, you may rub on the rear crash bar mount or fender liner but for daily driving they’ll be fine
It’s been totally fine on the trail. The factory Bilsteins are actually pretty good shocks. I’ve rock crawled, done some relatively high speed stuff, jumped it, all with no issues
Is anybody using the dv8 light pods?
I’m thinking about upgrading my modular bumper that has diode dynamics pods installed to a dv8 bumper and was thinking about using dv8 lights to keep the upgrade a bit cheaper. My other option is sell my bumper without lights and reuse my existing lights...
Good stuff. Eibach is a good company, I thought about going with their coilovers but decided to cheap out. They make the springs for the fox coilovers.
King and fox are like the two top of the line but I prefer the progressive valving of the fox shocks more. I ended up going icon spacer lift which honestly performs totally fine with the factory bilsteins
Honestly I really pushed my bronco these past two weekends, jumped it, did some rock crawling, and the spacer was perfectly fine. Kinda has me convinced that aftermarket coilovers may be more bling, at least until some more stuff for the bronco comes out. I don’t do any high speed Baja stuff...
Maybe that’s the sweet spot then. I’m going to cut that crash bar mount and then trim up the fender and possibly do the dv8 liners and it should clear everything up
