And so the more serious modifications to the Bronco begin. It's in the shop right now getting the following installed:

1. Front Ride 2.5" Coilovers with 550 lan/in Spring. https://rideshocks.com/shop/vehicle...nco-2-5-front-coilovers-0-4-5-lift-525414389/
2. Rear Ride 2.5" Coilovers, 235 Lb/in springs. https://accutuneoffroad.com/product...-0-5-5″-lift-dpa-235-lb-in-multi-rate-spring/
3. Icon Tubular UCA's with Delta Joint Pro Kit. https://accutuneoffroad.com/product/icon-2021-ford-bronco-tubular-uca-kit-delta-joint-pro-kit/
4. Icon Rear Tubular Upper Adjustable Control Arms. https://accutuneoffroad.com/product/icon-2021-ford-bronco-rear-tubular-upper-control-arms-2/
5. Icon Rear Tubular Lower Control Arms. https://accutuneoffroad.com/product/icon-2021-ford-bronco-rear-tubular-lower-control-arms/
6. Icon Rear Adjustable Track Bar. https://accutuneoffroad.com/product/icon-2021-ford-bronco-rear-adjustable-track-bar/

This was all a "kit" I bought through Accutune Offroad. https://accutuneoffroad.com/product...d-travel-suspension-kit-stage-3a-ride-shocks/

Should be ready tomorrow, and then we will see if it lives up to expectation. Right now I'm sticking with my SAS wheels and tires, but the intent when these Goodyears wear out is to replace them with 37's and new wheels. I'm not sure what wheels I want to get yet. I want something with internal beadlocks however. I'm curious what other folks are doing with tires/wheels? That probably won't happen until late this year or early next year so I have some time to research it. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to the better "ride" from the Rides.

Curious if you are switching out your tie rods? And if so which ones are you putting on?

Those are Accutune‘s private label shocks? I hear they get excellent reviews!

Loving what you’ve done!

Hey @JoergH can you take a side profile shot of your wheels and tires. I want to take a look at its stance with the level and lift. Still on OEM wheels and tires correct?

Yes, I'm still on the stock SAS tires and wheels. I had to pull her into the street to get her on somewhat level ground. My driveway has some pitch to it. Overall, she's really level. Here's a couple of pictures:


Note that Ride/Accutune literal tuns the shocks and springs based on the weight of your vehicle. So, for example, if I had a winch in the front with maybe an aftermarket bumper, etc. I would get a different set of springs, and the shocks would get different tuning. Accutune has been doing this for years for both King and Fox shocks, and now their Ride shocks as well.

Ok, took her out on some rutted trails this weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. I can definitely see the added droop. It’s generally more planted to the road, both on and off-road.
