Installed Zone UCA on my Bronco today..

Install is very easy and straightforward to complete.. I put the Eibach 2.0 coilovers on myself a few days ago, Alignment coming early this week.. I’m going to go on a Fall crawl in NH on October 21 and then a few weeks later off to do the BOH trails again at AOAA.. Love running Fern Ridge and Barney rubble..

I was looking at the same setup you put on. How have you liked the Eibachs? Were you a non-Sas Badlands as well and if so, how do the Eibachs compare to the stock Bilsteins. I can't seem to find answers on that question. Considering either the Eibachs or 6112s. It looks like you actually off road so feedback on and off road would be awesome. Just didn't want to go backwards on ride. Hoping for an upgrade. Thanks for your input

I'm running the Eibach 2.0s as well...very pleased with the ride both on & off-road, just a tad stiffer than the OEM Bilsteins.

i too am running the 2.0 and zone uca's. i love the feel, but it did take about 500 miles to get it to settle with 3 adjustments in that mileage. i have a hidden winch and i feel like i could go with stiffer springs on all 4 corners. nose dive is like stock i feel with the extra weight. when i'm packed up for fun times i'm easily at 350-400lbs in the rear. i have those maxed out and they ride 1/2" lower than the fronts. eibach told me by phone hd springs are in r&d at the moment and fronts will be released in early spring and rears will follow.

they felt great rock crawling up in Marquette this weekend. last race of the rally season was good to see even though it was windy and wet.

model: non-sas 4 dr BD

I had panda Motorsports add the 550 springs even before they shipped knowing I was going to add a winch bumper in the near future… I believe the fronts come shipped with the 450 springs, hence why I went heavier before getting them… Definitely looking forward to having heavier rear springs in the future too..

Very nice setup but…..wondering how you like your 703s. What’s the lowest pressure you’ve run?
TIA!

 

[scotman623]

The lowest pressure I have run on them is 13 psi at R-creek on BOH trails, no issues… 14 psi is my normal off road pressure on the Rock crawls..

Running the Eibachs as well and they haven’t let me down yet.

Have you run Fern Ridge and Barney Rubble yet? I’m heading up in a couple weeks.

I'm running that setup with the 450 Springs and Zone UCA's on a Badlands non-sas... I was running the Zone 3.5 Adventure series before that for about a year. The zone lift made me nervous as it really pushes the CV's and tie rods to their limits.. I lost about half an inch of lift switching to the Eibachs, but the angles are much better, and the the ride is miles ahead of the Zone setup. Compared ot the original Bilsteins, the ride is definitely better on road, but I don't see a huge difference offroad... I've got a lot of weight up front with a Fab Fours Stubby and a Smittybilt X2O 10K, Thinking I ought to switch out to the 550 Springs...

I've wheeled it around the National Forests in Virginia and NC, with the hardest wheeling probably being Daniel at Uwharrie. When I wheel Rausch or AOAA I take my Rubi TJ instead, because the group I wheel with does Blacks and Reds, And I'm not going to subject the Bronco to that yet since it's also my daily driver. (TJ is a trailer queen, and comes home broken pretty regularly!)
