Needing shock recommendations for non-stock replacement

[Brian_B]

I'd say biggest question is what's your budget? Shocks can go all over the place on cost, and you'd get very different recommendations if your budget is $1,500 vs $7,500

Let us know how it goes I was always curious about their M mile warranty especially if they are leaking VS ride degradation, which Bilstein does not cover so junked them.


Two sets of four defective Koni Actives were replaced by seller, no questions no return shipping, with just pics of the body stickers that had mfg date and part #. I was impressed. They even offered a 3rd set mfg after a specified date at cost (less 35%). This was my last straw for aftermarket haha.

I got fully assembled take offs for $200 from better spec car, so went that route and was very happy. Wished I never touched it after 4 installs incl spring swaps and two sets of various costly bolts & nuts.

The main suspects have all been mentioned: 6100's, ProComp VSRT (previously 4WP), Eibach (ha ha). The 5100's are non-Sas but I'm not sure about the Badlands, since they fit the stock Bilsteins I would think you'd go Sas replacement. I want to say there's also a (non-Ford) Fox replacement that's about $1500 for the shocks but it hasn't gotten a lot of coverage here. Most of the others are more expensive, like Kings or ICONs or ADS or whatever. Or Bilstein 8112's or ICON CDEVs. lol

The Bronco is heavier than the Jeep, so that may be why the shocks don't last as long as on Jeep. I've known several people with Falcon's on Jeeps and they loved them, but no feedback on how long they lasted. Every once in a while someone mentions them but I think I've only seen like 1-2 folks with them on the forum. I don't think they've done a lot to get them on Broncos.

Another option is Fox takeoffs or getting them new from Ford (a recent addition). A little pricey but if you're on the road all the time, they do ride better. Not sure how long they last.

I might suggest a shorter, more direct title: "Recommend 100k mile shocks (looking at Falcons but open)" When I opened the thread, all I read was "needing shock recommendations".

Do you have a model number or name for these fox shocks you speak of?
