Need new shocks - Recommendations?

[Badtothebone2]

Just found out I need to replace my shocks. My 22BB has 72,000 miles. Looking for some input on replacing with OEM or an aftermarket. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Are these the rear shock absorbers? Are they leaking fluid?

I just went with a Rough Country 1.5 spring/strut kit and I couldn’t be happier. Had 50k on the clock. The kit eliminated body roll and brake dive, which I wasn’t even aware I had, has a nice, firm ride which I prefer. $700 isn’t all that bad considering the increased confidence I have in Tilli’s handling

Bedides Ford OEM, Rough Country and Flatout suspension are the only after market companies that I know of that offer rear shocks for the Sport. I know you can purchase the Rough Country shocks for about $100 dollars and they have a 3 year warranty, the Flatout shocks are part of a suspension kit for the Sport, you could possibly call them to see if the shocks are available separately.

What type of driving do you do?

unfortunately, your options are limited...OEM would be the best way to go if you don't want to lift the BS, or you can go with the few lifts out there and get a bit more ground clearance, even if you don't offroad her, the added height does help...allows 245 65 R17s on there (or 18" equivalents if you have the OB trim)

Bilstein does not offer any suspension options for the Sport, they only have suspension for the full size Bronco's

and that's a SHAME...I Loved the Bilsteins on my Jeep Commander

Actually they do offer it for the Bronco sport but that's for next years model... Probably fits the 2021-2024 though!!

as long as there are no suspension differences, you are correct. where did you see this information?

It's on ford's website for the 25 bronco sport

Good find! I see, they're in the Sasquatch package. I would LOVE to see the specs to see if they would fit on the stock suspension. Although, they are probably longer travel and require a lift , but I'm just spitballing here. I would love to see them show up on Bilsteins' site with more information or in some of the lift kits available for the older Sports....here's to hoping they do!
