Peak coilovers/UCA’s

[c_walters]

Decided to pull the trigger on the peak coilovers/UCA’s a few weeks ago and they were delivered yesterday! Opening the boxes and drooling over them until I install them. First impressions, they are very nice! Look to be of good quality and made in the USA.

Spring rates for those interested:
Front-400lb
Rear-250lb
16” spring length

Hopefully get them in tomorrow

River tables make everything look more expensive.

Got them installed yesterday and adjusted today. Out of the box they lifted the bronco over 4” and were super stiff. Today I took some preload out (almost all upfront) and will drive it around this week to hopefully have it settle a little more. It’s sitting higher than I’d like, will probably back them down out back slightly depending on how they settle.

Ride, blown away with how they ride. They are stiffer than the hoss 2.0’s but yet ride amazingly better. Quality, up there with the best of them. Sold feeling/sounding click from the dsc’s that’s not overly hard to adjust. Not 100% sure but it looks as if Elka makes these for Peak with their spin on them (eg the spring rates/colors/ possibly valving) if so they should be a real contender.

I did order a track bar relocation bracket that hasn’t arrived yet, and plans are control arms for the upper/lower rears. Really has me thinking of 37’s when the time comes. Last pic is the wife’s outer banks stock height/stock size tire.

I didn’t design the mounting. When I chop the mount I’ll most likely move the resi up higher.

Only had one chance to hit Uwharrie last year before it closed. Getting it ready for this year! Heading back to Moab in June/july for a week with it too.

Alittle over 100 miles on them today, feel great! Still hoping they settle at least an inch, lowered the rear down some and going to take the adjuster all the way up in the front tomorrow.

Sitting at ride height in the driveway CV shafts measure 18* so that’s no bueno
