Well the new springs got delayed and are now due to show up tomorrow… I was able to reschedule for later this week. If the parts show up tomorrow as planned the truck will be in Thursday.

I know this is late and you already ordered them but there are 2 front spring part numbers for the hoss 3.0’s that work with the 4 dr. The one you need is the 5310-B which is a bit heavier rate then the 5310-A.

I ordered the 5310-B!

Well bad news. We did the test fit today and had a couple of issues. First the top hat for the f150 doesn’t work with these struts. There isn’t enough thread exposed to get the top nut on. I’m now $1300 in this project in parts and with needing the top hats it just makes this not worth it imo. You are just too close to the cost of a 2.5 setup that’s made for the trucks. Also the external reservoir clearance is really tight.

I’m planning to abandon the project and probably go with something more standard. I appreciate the interest and support with info. I have the parts posted on the 6g Bronco forum. Hopefully I can get close to my money back out of them.

That would have been too easy. Kudos for trying.

That sucks to hear. Appreciate all your effort though!

Bummer for you…and the rest of us rooting from the sidelines. Thanks for giving it a go.

Soooo reviving this thread. Does anyone have the rough measurements of the bronco top mounts vs the F150 top mounts? There is a big selection of aftermarket bronco front coilovers with more travel than the F150 options, really interested to see if this may be a possibility!
