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 bealocks 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. :)
 
Sounds like a nice build! Always exciting to get new Bronco parts :) I've only heard good things about those Ride shocks, looking forward to hearing your input on them. Thank you for contributing to my salary with the rest of your components LOL

At the risk of sounding biased I'll recommend either the Rebound Pro or Recon Pro wheel from Icon. We have the Rebound Pros on both of our Broncos and they've been SO much better than the traditional beadlocks I've owned in the past. No leaks, no broken bolts, no constant re-torquing, and we can run them aired down to almost nothing.
 
Happy to contribute Dusty! Internal beadlocks are definitely something I’m seriously considering, thanks for the advice!
 
OK, the install is complete. As expected about 2" in the front, and 1.5" in the back. The ride home from the shop was pretty nice and comfortable. Will take it to some nice easy trails this weekend to see how it does. Here are some pictures.

I took it out this weekend to a local trail that was basically a fire road that was pretty rutted up. I can definitely tell the difference, that's for sure. I also definitely get more attriculation that the stock SAS, that's for sure. I should have taken a picture! Darn it! Maybe this weekend. Bur the on-road manners, the handing of washboard, and so far offroad is all a lot better than my stick Bilsien's.
 
OK< so, took her out again on a similar trail (fire road with a lot of ruts). it definitely feels more planted, and I'm pretty sure that I get better articulation.
