Ford Performance 2" Lift Kit Coilovers for non-SAS Bronco Installed! - Impressions, Review, Photos

[Aonarch]

I've had mine for 5,000 miles now and still absolutely love them!

I also have the OEM rear sway bar, Rock Jock track bar bracket, and the Rock Jock Anti-Rock front sway bar.

My suspension setup is perfect.

I just purchased shocks today from Levittown Ford… Getting them installed for $764 including tax which includes an alignment… ( 5 hours total labor) Was quoted 10 hours by my local Ford dealer… I will take before and after height measurements after install…

Might as well ask them to align your headlights while your at it.

Yeah forgot about that…

Got my coilovers installed today… gave me .75 more lift in front 1.75 in the rear… was hoping for more but I did take it off-road in a construction site and these shocks are night and day better than stock!

2.7L or 2.3L? Any aftermarket bumpers? Winch?

2.7L no mods except coil overs…

That explains the limited lift on your front. The FP Bilstein coilovers are only tuned with consideration of the 2 vs 4 door Bronco.

Ford Performance advertises this as a 2” lift…

Mine was a full 2" lift. But I also don't have the extra weight of the 2.7L.

Will 2dr vs 4dr make a difference in addition to 2.3 vs 2.7?

Longtime lurker of this thread, I've got a 2dr 2.7 OBX that I'm thinking of lifting with this FP kit as it seems to be the perfect set of user conditions for me.

I drove a '24 2dr BD w/ SAS at Moab Off-roadeo almost two weeks ago, and that fully calmed my fears of increased (to an excessive amount) road noise and handling weirdness.

My only lasting concern is the UCAs and whether I need to switch those out with after-market ones. I figure whichever shop installs the FP kit will have some knowledge of whether UCAs are required to keep the geometries in check.

No need for upper control arms…

Reaching out again.
Added a winch to the front of the bronco which lowered the front about 1/2 an inch and now thinking about leveling a little bit. Also have the Rock Hard 4X4 Aluminum bumpers and the full set of the Asfir 4x4 aluminum skid plates. The back end is fully loaded with accessories.
I have about a 1..5 inch rake.
Has anyone added a 1" lift spacer kit on the front who have the Ford Performance 2" Lift Kit Coilovers for NON-SAS?
Thinking about this kit. https://rockkrawler.com/bronco-1-0-inch-adventure-system/
Concerned that this may stretch the front axles too much in certain situations or may need to upgrade UCA's.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Looking for some more reviews from those with a 4D 2.7 - the previous comment about the front sagging/less lift than advertised with an otherwise stock 2.7 has me a lil concerned whether the stance will be bothersome for me, if I go this route.

Getting more serious about purchase in the near future and want to make sure I'm happy with the results.

I’m also have also a full Asfir skids and a Warn steel Elite bumper with Evo 10s and I also have about the same rake. Said that per my little mechanical opinion and based on the fact that I was told that during front alignment, that original UCA borderline allowed to get in spec. If the visual effect of the rake is important for you to install front level and a a set of after market UCA go for it, but it would not going to improve MPG, handling and off road performance ( my 2 c$).
