Description
We started the suspension with a King OEM coilover to find they’d maxed the travel capability; we were pleased with their R&D. Our alterations to their coilover entailed:
- 17-4 Stainless Steel Shock Shafts as a Standard on the Carli Proprietary Kings
- Standard Compression Adjusters and Short-Finned reservoirs. We’ve always been about the most-premium version of a product; these compression adjuster work great with our Carli Pistons and tuning to dial in the ride for dirt days!
- Alternate Reservoir Mounting in the front
- Extensive Custom Shock Tuning. We’ve utilized our own proprietary Carli Shock Piston in all King Shocks since we designed it in the late 2000’s; once installed, we test on-road and off-road until we’ve achieved the ride we’re after.
We want it to perform well in the dirt but NOT at all costs; we’re not willing to suffer the on-road ride of heavy valving for big-hits – we’re after balance.
The same philosophy holds true out back – we custom valve the shocks for a balanced ride. Cruising our Bronco on Southern California Highways, the ride is supple yet extremely reactive – the Bronco handles like it’s on rails but there’s almost no harshness to the ride relative to the stock, spongy front, punchy rear. Even with the Sasquatch Bilsteins, we found the front to be soft and the rear to ramp up super quick – I’d even call it harsh. Much of our on-road tuning goal was to balance this ride – we wanted the front and rear to react the same to a given obstacle; we feel we’ve accomplished this.
Off-Road, we wanted the same balance – if the front bottoms, the rear should bottom with the same intensity and the chassis should remain controlled and level following the bottoming event. Crank the compression adjusters to up the capability even more but the same balance should exist.
In the dirt, the factory Sasquatch surprised us. Low Speed is comfortable, slow roll into the skinny pedal and things are controlled, big hits go to bottom but didn’t throw it out of control. Our spec Kings throw an exponent on this. Low speed begs for more speed, roll into the throttle and it just wants more speed – control is amplified and big hits are nothing. You’re not going to smash 3ft whoops but you’ll be shocked (see what we did there?) at the capability of your Bronco relative to stock suspension.
