How to Install BRBN 2.8 Series 3-Way Coilovers & Billet Upper Control Arms on Ford Bronco

If you're looking to upgrade the suspension on your 2025 Ford Bronco, you've come to the right place. In our latest installation video, we walk through the complete installation of the BRBN Off-Road 2.8 Series 3-Way Adjustable Coilover System and Billet Upper Control Arms, showing exactly what's involved when transforming a stock Bronco into a more capable off-road machine.

Whether you're preparing for overlanding adventures, tackling technical rock trails, or simply looking for a smoother ride on and off the pavement, this installation guide gives you a closer look at what it takes to install one of the most advanced suspension systems available for the Bronco platform.

 


Why Upgrade Your Bronco Suspension?

The factory Bronco suspension is incredibly capable, but many owners eventually find themselves wanting more.

A quality coilover system can provide:

  • Improved suspension control over rough terrain

  • Better ride quality both on and off-road

  • Increased resistance to shock fade during extended trail use

  • Greater adjustability for different driving styles

  • Improved handling with larger tires and additional vehicle weight

Whether you're adding armor, a winch, camping equipment, or simply moving to 35" or 37" tires, the right suspension makes a dramatic difference in how your Bronco performs.

Inside the BRBN 2.8 Series Coilovers

The BRBN 2.8 Series was designed for Bronco owners who want more performance than traditional 2.5-inch coilovers can deliver—without stepping into the cost, weight, and packaging compromises of a full 3.0-inch race shock.

Key features include:

  • Oversized 2.8-inch aluminum shock body

  • Massive 65mm piston

  • Remote reservoirs

  • Independent High-Speed Compression adjustment

  • Independent Low-Speed Compression adjustment

  • Independent Rebound adjustment

  • Vehicle-specific valving

  • Limited Lifetime Warranty

  • Third-party dyno-tested performance

The larger shock body increases oil capacity, helping improve heat management and maintain consistent damping during long trail days and aggressive off-road driving.

Why Billet Upper Control Arms Matter

Installing aftermarket coilovers often means increasing suspension travel and changing ride height. Upgraded upper control arms help maintain proper suspension geometry while improving durability and wheel alignment.

The BRBN Billet Upper Control Arms are engineered specifically for lifted Broncos, providing:

  • Increased articulation

  • Improved alignment capability

  • Strong billet aluminum construction

  • Heavy-duty ball joint design

  • Direct bolt-on installation

Together with the BRBN coilovers, they create a suspension package built for everything from daily commuting to demanding off-road adventures.

Built for Real Bronco Owners

Every BRBN suspension system is engineered with real-world use in mind.

Whether your Bronco spends most of its time:

  • Driving to work Monday through Friday

  • Exploring forest roads on weekends

  • Tackling difficult rock trails

  • Crossing desert terrain

  • Climbing Mountains 

  • Running larger 35" or 37" tires

the 3-way adjustable damping system allows you to tune the suspension to match your driving style and terrain.

Rather than forcing one compromise setting, you can independently adjust:

  • High-speed compression for larger impacts and whoops

  • Low-speed compression for body control, cornering, and crawling

  • Rebound for suspension recovery and vehicle stability

This level of adjustment is typically found in significantly more expensive suspension systems.
