Yes, although rust isn't as much of an issue where I'm at, I wanted something with less maintenance. I'm definitely not extreme enough for uni-balls. I went with the BDS primarily because they are a known company and from my understanding are owned by Fox. They were available. I have no brand...

Didn't feel any negativity. I appreciate the discussion. It will help others make an informed decision.

Everything thing you say is probably correct, however I didn't buy the shocks from the installer. I might have but they didn't have Bilstein as an option on their website. So I thought I would throw them a bone and get the UCAs from them. I'm pretty sure that they have some advantages over...

I think it was squeaking on the passenger side rear bushing only. I don't think it was the ball joint. I put the silicone spray on that spot only and it went away. I was looking at a picture of a replacement bushing, I can see that there might have been a bit of extra rubber from moulding...

Actually just re-read the instructions UCA only recommended if lifting over 2.5". So at least they look a little bit cooler if nothing else.

I almost didn't, but since it was apart, I decided to just do it. Also, if I remember correctly, the Bilstein instructions stated that they needed to be replaced. Had I not done that, the installer/alignment shop would have an excuse. I didn't want that. At least I got the BDS type that are...

I actually got the BDS arms that have a ball joint for just that reason and easier maintenance of course at the expense of some performance. I didn't use normal WD-40, I used their silicon formula that acks like a dry lube and is safe on rubber. I'v been using silicone spray for years on door...

I may have already fixed this. I sprayed the bushings last night with WD-40 Specialist Silicone and this morning when I went out and pushed up and down on the front bumper there was no squeaks. Hopefully that is all I needed to do. Only time will tell. It could be that the parts were colder...

I know that this is a somewhat old post, but is there any detailed instructions on how to do this? I want to do it on my 2026 and there I'm sure there are good instructions somewhere, but I only seem to find things that are pretty old.

I have to admit that the shocks are way more accessible to adjust than I expected based on the photos and the instruction appear. If they are easier for me to touch, probably easier for rocks to touch. I'm not too concerned however for how I plan to use it, large rocks shouldn't be an issue.

The instructions from Bilstein basically tell you where to set them for the desired lift height (1.4" Front, 0.5" Rear for my model) They actually come out of the box set at max suggested lift for my model. I think they factor in break in. I don't plan on changing the ride height again.

I think I confused this. The clanking parts are the stock parts that were taken off and placed in a box in the back of the Bronco. Once I took all the old stuff out of the back, I went out last night and bombed the beat up road that I live off of and these shocks are incredible. The ride was...

Yeah, I agree with you on this. Makes no sense.

I just had new BDS UCA installed with a set if 8112s and the UCAs are squeaking (at least I think that it is them). You can hear it with just the slightest pushing down on the front bumper. Is this normal? I only have about 65 miles on them, so maybe they need a break-in or something? I do...

No idea, but you can compared to my BD Pro Spots, Pro Combos and fogs combined (photo below). After I took this, I adjusted the spot more towards the middle. I'm no lighting pro, but I am impressed with this light bar. Glad I went with yellow so that I could choose what is best for the...

Just got them installed. Drove about 65 miles home. Feels good so far only issue I had was that I had the stock shocks and UCAs in the back clanking around in the back making the experience a little less enjoyable. The installer told me the he placed all setting right in the middle and that I...

I can show you the light pattern of a 30" Pro model. I'm really happy with it. Gate is about 200 feet away. (Amber/Yellow) This will give you an idea of how narrow it is.

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering what color wheels would look good with that color and I think you nailed it!

Thanks. I'm looking to get the DV8 trunk, which it the main reason to look at replacing the exhaust. All the other benefits are just a bonus.

Does the Corsa replace the exhaust under the trunk area and the Corsa exhaust is installed now under the body area? Is so, is there plenty of space an no concern for heat damage there? Or, is there another part of the for Thanks. Any concerns about where the muffler now sit and heat buildup?
