El Chapo Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 So now that I’ve mostly completed the interior work on my 86 Bronco and have been driving it mostly on short trips and some freeway driving. I’m turning my focus to the suspension I would like to smooth out the ride it seems extremely rough riding to me I know it’s a bronco but geeze this thing hits back hard!!, I didn’t do myself any favors in this regard by having BF Goodrich all terrain tires installed.🤷🏽♂️ So here’s my question? where should I start I’m assuming all of bushings and bearings are all original the Rancho shocks seem to be an aftermarket add on but since it sat here in the desert for 10 years I’m thinking everything needs to be gone through? I’m up for anything although I’ll wait till it’s not 110 degrees still🥵 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpin Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Couldn’t hurt to look everything over and install new shocks. And I’ll add that my 92 Bronco rides rough, I have BFG KO2’s on it with newer Monroe gas magnums. It’ll smooth out at speed, but I have overdrive, which I think helps. With the short wheelbase I’ve said that the Broncos are aptly named! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJam300 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 New shocks, good ones. Check the load rating on your tires, if yours are heavy duty they will ride like crap. No harm in airing down the tires a couple psi either. Check your body mounts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
