A review is posted!! (copied from our website)
"You can tell that flatout suspension takes pride in what they do. The main shocks have a beautiful nickel plating, and then anodized parts where applicable. The springs are a nice grabber blue color. To the fun stuff…hands down night and day...
...another customer got the Flatout GR40s installed...

Here's the Flatout GR40 product page
That’s a very very different world. I’d expect your experience should go to internal shock components and shock dynos, quizzing me on low speed valving, high speed valving, damper matching, preference to linear vs digressive, unsprung weights, etc.
I think you’ll appreciate this..
Well, again, we do know the limits. We know launching at 65 mph off a sand dune trying to catch the next dune bends an upright shock on a nose dive landing that surprisingly didn’t deploy airbags. We know that hitting a tree stump at 70mph on our inverted shock rips the suspension arm off the...
Well, not burned by us…
As far as testing to break something, it’s a 22 Bronco Sport with 3,000 miles on it. Definitely not going out to abuse it. We’re also on the east coast, best we have is woods. No trail running is going to put these through anything significant.
These shocks use the same...
If you don’t need the overload (rear tire carrier, etc) it’ll feel a bit stiff on an otherwise empty Bronco Sport. Comfort handles normal loads nicely. I packed up ours with the new tires and wheels to get them mounted and balanced and saw no sag on comfort.
These go on the rear subframe, it's a multi-link correction.
In the simplest explanation, when you lift the BS (whether with a lift kit, or even just to change a tire), as the trailing arm and control arms pivot, they become shorter just due to basic geometry. This pulls the trailing arm inward...
Big Update # 2
Here's the spacer kit that will drop the subframe down 1.5" which corrects CV angles.

If you want 1.5-2", the 250lb 12" spring will do it with room to spare. If you do a 14", you will end up with a 35.5 ground to arch height with the rear adjuster at the minimum height.
Tomorrow!!
17” Method 701 beadlocks in matte black with 245/60/17 Falken Wildpeak tires are getting mounted and balanced. We’ll pick them up and put them on tomorrow!
