7/8" Shafts with 55HRc Diameter of shaft will not corelate with the strength of a shock, but with how much oil is displaced during compression. So a Larger Shaft makes for a softer shock. The Hardness is to help reflect rock damage, and make the shafts last longer at their OD against chafing wear.

Dual-Sport comes from the Motorcycle world. Dual-Sport Bikes CAN be used on the freeway for hours, but it is no where near as comfortable as a Goldwing or a Harley Road King with full fairings and a La-z-boy for a seat. If I have to fist fight you to remove that gear from the vehicle, I...

The tuning we have done for the shocks is based on the following parameters: Weight of the vehicle (Front separately from the Rear) Style of suspension (Independent Suspension, versus Live (Solid Axle) Spring Rate (Different springs required for vehicles of different weights and suspension...

Probably not the case, but sometimes preload collar lifts can cause the spring to go into coil bind. Do it enough times and it can cause the spring to crack/rust/break. I would check to make sure your springs are not damaged.

Do you know which rear springs you have installed by chance? Their first sets of coilovers sent out, had way too soft of a rear spring. If that is the case with yours, swapping to the correct rate rear spring would help with lift height. You could also check the shock lengths at ride height to...

Total Travel on the Ride Shocks for the Bronco is: Front Coilovers - 5.59" Rear Coilovers - 9.39"

We unfortunately do not rebuild the Hoss 3.0 shocks. I would recommend reaching out to Fox as they most likely will be able to service them.

This was just an example of what the adjusters can do. Typically most will want the softest setting on street for daily driving use, and make them more firm off-road to handle the bigger bumps. Ride quality is subjective to everyone's preference, and the adjusters will allow each person to make...

@ScLeCo Thanks for tagging us and I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your Ride Shocks! @PJ Bennett If you’re looking for the softest ride for your Bronco, that’s something we specialize in. Depending on your budget and goals, we’ve got a few Bronco Shocks options to consider. Although the...

100% agree. That is a BIG investment for some top of the line shocks.

Preload does not change the spring rate. Sure, it will take more force to compress the spring further, but the spring rate never changes. Preload should mostly be done to dial in ride height based on ideal shock lengths. You want preload on the spring. Too much or too less preload will call for...

Thanks for the feedback. I do like the idea of the shock skid plates. No matter what shocks you are running, those mounts hang down low and can easily get damaged. Upgraded tie rods will be something we add in the future. We typically recommend a specific tire/wheel combo that has worked for...

The different stages are not necessarily equal across other vehicle applications. What else would you like to see in our Bronco Stage 3 kit?

Yes, if you have the standard springs that come with the Fox PES Coilovers, they are too soft for a stock weight Bronco and should be upgraded to something that can support the weight better. Keeping a top hat lift spacer with extended length coilovers is a bad idea. You would be adding to the...

Dialing in the best spring rate is difficult since there are not many options to choose from. Rear springs have been the most challenging for us and other brands and usually have custom unique multi-rate springs that are not commonly found by suppliers like Eibach. Valving inside the shock is...

Tire size wont affect shock travel, but it will affect your tires hitting fenders and other things. Ride Shocks were designed to have a longer compressed length to keep 37s out of the fenders. Shorter compressed lengths will be much worse. The numbers I provided were shock travel. Most...

We just put together a Bronco Suspension Buyers Guide for parts we sell that may be worth taking a look at. We have complete Bronco suspension kits available here. Raised rear track bar would be a good recommendation in addition to front UCA. Rear upper and lower arms are not critical, but do...

2-door rear springs and 4-door rear springs are about $291.80/pair

At the very least, I would consider changing out the rear springs that come standard with those coilovers. Let us know if we can help either way.

You're on the right track. Adding preload does not change the spring rate. Are you mostly concerned about a stiff ride after adding preload to those Eibach coilovers?
