2021+ Bronco Suspension Deep Dive - BILSTEIN ESCV vs 5100 

Pumped to see the ESCV vs the 6100

So i live in the UAE and we do a lot of dune bashing out here. I have a 2 dr Outer Banks with the Hitachi shocks, and 33s. The Hitachis have performed well dont get me wrong, but I know my limits and how crazy i can go. Ive been thinking about the Eibachs for sometime but the 5100s seem like a good shout as well, especially that im planning on getting 35s. Do you think getting the 5100s on 35s with a 2 inch lift is worth it? especially because the car is my daily as well. Would 2 inches be the ideal height and would i also need UCAs?

New broncos look like scion xb and kia cubes.. id lile to see someone put a lift kit on them and compare. Kia plays rap, bronco plays twangy country

What do you think about the 5100s vs stock Hitachis?

GREAT review and honest share :) I was supposed to go with a KING setup but opted for the Eibach SPrings on my SAS......it's been GREAT. A good compromise. My ride is MUCH better all around. On road chatter is amazing now....smoothed out :) Off road has been great as well. I do have a Rough Country winch (and mount) on right now and just did some fairly hard rock crawling and high speed whoop-dee-whoop rollers.....Performed GREAT!!! I do have a QUESTION - IF I wanted to lift my front end to compensate for the winch, and all my heavy RCI armor, what would you recommend? Or would you just say keep it as is? 1 inch is all I want.

Stoked to watch the rest of this series! Thanks for sharing guys

First 1:51 explains how shitty these broncos are even at a high configurational... hard rough ride like a dropped 1992 civic

What about 6112? And what springs if you have a winch mount on the front?

Great explanation of how the shocks performed. That's what I've been looking for. I've been looking at Eibach pro truck lift so I'm looking forward to your review.

Can’t wait for the feedback on eibach coil and 6100 bilsteins!

According to your experience, does raising my 2021 Expedition long body by 1. 1 inch to the car swaying right, left, up and down

Solid information. It's obvious you both know your shit. Thanks!

What would you recommend for LC76 2024? I don't do high speed off road. 90% on road 10% off road. I care mostly about on roads. If you have time, please assist!

What's the best shot that I can use for overlanding and a Chevy Express 1500 all wheel drive? Spare no expense

I have a 2 door Sasquatch and think it rides hard at any speed under 50 mph. My question is would the 5100's or 6100's be a better fit for those speeds? Not many places to go 50+ offroad up here in the northeast. Also I can only find your 6112 kit with springs for the 2 doors and not just the 6100 shocks, why is that?

QUESTION ? I HAVE A 1999 FORD F150 XLT 4.6L EXTENDED CAB 4X4 ! MY NEPHEW RAISED THE REAR 5 INCHES WITH 5 " BLOCKS ! THE FRONT WE GOTTEN 3 " TORSION KEYS TO RAISE THE FRONT . WE ORDERED THE BILSTIEN SHOCKS 4 " TO 6 " THROUGH YOU'LL CAN'T THINK OF THE NUMBER OF THE SHOCK . AFTER MY NEPHEW PUT EVERYTHING ON THE TRUCK / TASTY / WE TOOK HER ACROSS THE STREET TO THE CHURCH PARKING LOT TO SEE IF ANYTHING RUBBED WHEN TURNING THE FRONT WHEELS . WE ALSO ADDED NEW 18 " WHEELS / INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL 17 " ONES THAT CAME ON TASTY /PLUS LT 295 / 70 R / 18 / NITTO RIDGE GRABBERS / WHEN WE DID A COUPLE TURNS THE PASSENGER SIDE BRACKET ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM , FRONT BROKEN OFF. BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT SEEMED TO BE OK . ADJUSTED THE HEIGHT A BIT & NO RUBBING THE VINYL UNDER BUMPER . WHEN I WENT HOME IT FELT LIKE I HIT THE LITTLEST BUMP IN THE ROADS WAS REALLY BIG . THE ONLY THING WE COULD FIGURE OUT THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS WERE HITTING THE METAL BUMP STOPS ON THE FRAME ON EACH SIDE . DON'T KNOW IF WE / NEED TO GET DIFFERENT CONTROL ARMS , UPPER & LOWER , OR CUT THE METAL BUMP STOPS ON AN ANGLE & RE WELD IT AFTER WE CHECK & SEE IF THAT WORKS WITH WHAT WE / HE DID HOPEFULLY . NOT TRYING TO MAKE A ROCK CRAWLER JUST SIT HIGHER & GOING / TRAVELING THE EASTERN MOUNTAIN BACK DIRT / GRAVEL ROADS CAMPING . SHE'S GOT A HAIR SHORT OF 300,000.00 MILES . IF I LIKE THIS I'M GOING TO DO THIS ON WHEN I GET ANOTHER ONE ? MORE THAN YOU NEEDED TO SORRY .

Thanks for the vid guys! Would you say that the Bilstein 5100 have a "softer" ride quality over the Eibach Stage 1 kit?

Great video, gang. Thanks

I've heard conflicting info on the 5100s, specifically regarding the circlip and it's affect (or not) on OE spring preload. I've read on forums and watched countless videos. Could you guys cover this topic? Have a set coming for my 2007 Sierra, I got a leveling kit that will allow me to max out the 5100 OR not use the lift so I can have a softer ride. But I have heard adjusting the height doesn't affect the ride, but have also heard many people say that has been their experience.

I recently put 5100 on my base bronco . Set it up to 2.9 front and maxed out tge rear . Would you suggest upper control arm? I feel like im all over the the road . ..

Any experience with Fabtech and their Dirt Logic system? Considering those for non sasquatch badlands but can not find many reviews about them other than TCcustoms vids.

Eibach was at the top of my list but I couldn't find them anywhere when I was buying so I settled on the 5100 series. I'm up in New Hampshire so speed offroad isn't really necessary for what I'll be driving on. Great review, maybe I'll upgrade then again, can't wait to see the other videos.

If I’m understanding you, the 5100 can be adjusted to raise the ride height?

Can you do a comparison of the 6112 vs the ESCV?

Seems like the 5100's are a good choice vs stock Hitachi's?

Can you compare the new ford fox hoss 3.0’s?

I am wondering regarding the 5100 is it will be good chose for off road better than big bend stock shocks

I would love to see it with 8100s.

What tire pressures were you using during testing? The tire is a big part of the suspensions when off-roading.

Yes! More of this please.

Great topic and review…can’t wait to see the rest! 🐴🐴🥌
