This information was taken from the MicroCat online parts catalog. Shocks / struts are interchangeable in this instance, the Bronco is using struts on all 4 corners, a strut is technically a shock, or damper, all mean the same thing in regards to the Bronco suspension below.

King Shocks

Not to be outdone, King has hustled the first set of coilovers to the market for Broncos, and they started off big with their 2.5” shocks, and likely will be ahead of the pack when it comes to releasing more parts. As the poster child for race quality shocks, we can certainly expect them to capitalize on the great potential the Bronco has. With the ability to have your parts custom-tuned to your specific needs as well as rebuilt when they fail, King coilovers can give you the exact performance you need for years to come if you’re willing to put in the work. We do not have any confirmation on any new parts being released, however, you can bet there are 2.5 IBP coilovers in the pipeline.

Fox Shocks (Performance Elite & Factory Race)

Fox has been teasing availability of 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 Internal Bypass for the Broncos directly on their homepage for some time now, and with the confirmation they will be the supplier for the upcoming 2022 Bronco Raptor, as well as their use on Fords Ultra 4 race cars, Fox will certainly have some of the best experience out there to produce some of the best tuned and designed parts available.

Icon

Icon Vehicle Dynamics was one of the first manufacturers to produce parts for the new USDM 6th generation Ranger of which the Bronco is based upon. They have already confirmed they will be making parts, so they will likely be an early release. In this case, besides their big travel 2.5 and 3.0 coilovers, you can expect them to have some of the first and best designed supporting components and hardware to make the most of your suspension. Even if you decide to go a different route with your coilovers, Icon should still be a brand to keep in mind for all your control arms, links, secondary shock kits, air bump kits and other hard parts in your suspension.

Eibach

While Eibach may be lesser known in the off-road world, they’re actually a cornerstone of many suspension systems you are already familiar with. Eibach is the premier coil spring manufacturer in the United States, almost every major shock manufacturer utilizes their spring designs. They will be arriving with their own set of Coilovers for the Broncos that promises to dial in the handling and on-road control to surpass the HOSS systems.

Bilstein

Bilstein will be offering up a range of shock packages for the Bronco, we’ll specifically be testing the 5100s against the existing HOSS system, which we don't expect to surpass in performance or comfort. The 5100s are likely aimed at base models without the HOSS Bilstein dampers.

The 6100s from Bilstein will be a significant upgrade to the HOSS system, being a 2.5” shock that provides much greater overall support. The 6100s are going to handle similarly to the HOSS system on-road, but perform much better off-road.
