King Shocks for the Bronco

Fox Performance Elite for the Bronco

Had such blast driving and shooting with you guys! Been loving the Kings. Maybe it's time we test SDI universal e click on the Kings next?

[texasbradley]

I'm excited to see this shootout. Another coilover which I can't find any real youtube footage on are the Falcon 3.3 Series Fast Adjust Coilover Kit that will fit 37's. They seem like a good idea but the only group on YouTube that can even come close to real world testing them are the Shock Surplus guys!

[texasbradley]

I have to say, I'm not sold on either but lean to the Fox setup. Please test the Falcon 3.3 Series Fast Adjust Coilover Kit that's made for 37's 🙏

i have base 4 door 22 bronco what about ford proformance 2 inch lift coil overs ? please help.

[toyotabrony]

I want to see shootout or showdown to see which is the best monotube shock absorber replacement for daily use.

Can u guys do an entry level of Bilstein B6/4600 VS. KYB Gas-A-Just VS. rough Country monotube shocks VS. Fox Monotube shocks?

And see which is still the best overall for performance, handling control, which one is firm or soft? And which one is definitely worth the money, what MM internal piston size it has?, which shock has a better digressive piston?, and which one has a better rebound control?.

And this is about stock ride height shock replacement, no lift involve.

Love these videos! Keep up the great, first hand real world experience!

Thank you so much for addressing on the limit performance it’s so hard to get reviews on this stuff and the problem is even worse when trying to find that information on stock cars most 4wd reviewers don’t even take them off-road properly let alone given any feedback on the limit handling of different chassis or setups. Please keep this segment in future comparisons would be great if you had any personal predictions when testing other shocks head to head say icon and bilstien something like ‘icon has great balance on the limit but not quite as good as I think an equal fox setup would of been/was’ purely hypothetical but hope it gets the idea across

[RonRansom]

Awesome video. Appreciate your videos and knowledge on suspension stuff. So I have a 23 4 dr badlands and when I took ownership fabtech Dirt logics coilovers were the only option...how do think those compare to the fox. The Dirt logics are not adjustable so I guess maybe just the normal fox 2.5 with resi. Just wondering your opinion. Are the Dirt logics rebuildable? Appreciate your feedback!

I’ve had the fox 2.5s for a year. First - it’s a huge upgrade over stock sas. They are awesome off-road. I did buy a hand tool to help me turn the adjustment knob - highly recommend it. My only gripe is the rear springs are too soft - 37s, tailgate reinforcement, fold out table and upgraded track bar have slumped mine quite a bit. I’ll likely remove them and adjust the preload to compensate, but I wish there were stiffer springs available. Overall very happy with them.

It seems to me that the “benefits” of running 37 inch tires aren't worth all the negative aspects in how your vehicle can be set up for anything high speed anyway. None of the shocks seemed to have adequate rebound damping to control those heavy ass tires and with the added height comes less stability. Is gaining an inch of ground clearance really worth it? Then there’s all the potential rubbing issues, loss of bump travel etc. No thanks. I’ll stick to the 35’s it was designed for…..

[eatnpooter]

should talk about the internals - which shock is built more stout-inside & out & service intervals ....

[antonioespindola]

I’ve been waiting for the dobinson mrr kit any eta on when they will be available

[Ramiel]

I have the Fox 2.5 shocks on my '22 4Runner, and a pair of FOX 2.0 with reservoirs in the rear. And the knobs on mine were STUCK out of the box. Literally cold, they would not turn. I end up sending them to FOX for warranty repairs, after having them just 1 week. They did replaced some part (and did it for free) but the knobs remain difficult to move even today over a year later. This seems to be a common problem with these shocks, going by all the complains I read online. Nice shocks, but this is incredibly frustrating

[shantbeezee]

awesome review! how would the king's compare to the fox 3.0 internal bypass?

[Luparamusic]

What would be softer ride on bronco old man emu (light) or eibach stage 2? What do you recommend?

[popo_patty]

Very well done. I do know that King has since switched to a single spring in the rear now. Or at least they told me that on the phone a few months ago. For the king front resi mounts. I threw mine up front where the frame horn extensions used to be. Cut those suckers out and placed the resi there. Super easy to access and protected, no heat either!
I was flabbergasted to see you say how little height you gained from the Kings. My 2.3 Sasquatch with a bumper and winch sits what I think is too high at the lowest preload setting! Like way high. This is after 10, 000 miles on them too. My steering angles are atrocious, I estimate about 2” lift at lowest setting. I’ve compared to a Fox bronco on 37’s and I’m higher at my lowest setting.

[deadbrother]

I find it strange that my fox mtn bike shocks are basically perfect once tuned, and the fox vehicle shocks require an order of magitude more time and money to even come close to being "dialed". They should offer a broader range of springs available to be installed when ordered. Or maybe even engineer air spring shocks for vehicles.

[ryanelsenpeter]

Any plans to test and review the Fox 3.0 Factory Series coilovers for the ford bronco soon?

[Trento]

I need help deciding what shocks I should get. I’m on the verge of getting a Bilstein 6112 and 5160 set, but I don’t want to regret it. I don’t tow often but I haul a decent amount of weight everyday and drive a couple hundred miles daily. 90% of my travel is on pavement, I want a smooth ride that can also support the weight of my material and ladders. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!

Do a shootout with these broncos with Dobinson MRR ‘s ASAP … and compare them to king and Fox 2.5
