Everything RPG Offroad for your 2021+ Ford Bronco

 

 

Like many of you Bronco owners out there, we wanted to start making the truck our own, give a more aggressive stance, and overall, change the look for the better. Of course, you’ll want to start with putting larger wheels and tires on it, giving it a lift kit or whole new coilover setup, right?

 

Well depending on how aggressive you may want to go, you definitely are going to have to consider the rest of the suspension. Luckily, RPG Offroad has already done the hard work and research for you…

The Tie Rods

 

 

I’m sure most of you have seen the pictures floating around online showing new Bronco’s with their wheels in separate direction due to… TIE ROD FAILURE. While this can happen for a multitude of reasons, something else you may notice is these vehicles with broken tie rods happen to be Sasquatch Package vehicles, which means larger wheels and tires from the factory. Right from the get go, these tie rods are getting a tad more stress and once enough abuse on a trail or climb occurs… POP! You now have two independent pieces and a broken truck… 

 

Luckily, RPG has taken care of this problem, providing a couple different varieties as well, with their Tie Rod Kits! 

 

 

Available in 1/2 kits, which are perfect for those who are looking for a step above OEM….

 

 

As well as Full Tie Rod Kits, for those going for the extra mile to ensure no failures of any of the steering components. 

 

Notice how these tie rods are much thicker than your OEM equipment. RPG uses a solid hex bar to start so they minimize material having to be cut away for slots for wrenches and whatnot, of which would weaken the piece. RPG also supplies these tie rods with 17-4 Stainless Steel pins rather than the weaker, industry 4130N Chromoly. While the Chromoly is suffice for the application, Chromoly has the characteristic of cracking during an impact. To finish it all off, they are all Teflon-lined and come in a variety of colors.  (Orange, Blue, Black, Red, Clear) 

 

RPG has taken every step to ensure every piece of these tie rods are ready for whatever you plan to throw at it, regardless of how hard you thrash your truck.  Regardless of whether you have a stock truck or plan on the largest wheel+tire combo possible, these are a MUST. 

 

Of course, with a Full Tie Rod kit they have their Tie Rod Boots as an option incase, while removing the OEM boot it becomes ripped.

Upper Control Arms

Another important component that RPG hasn’t neglected in the front end are the Upper Control Arms. While we haven’t seen any noted failures of the OEM control arms in the Bronco’s just yet, previous vehicles in our history have presented their control arm failures, only amplified by the addition of larger wheels, tires, and a lift.

 

RPG takes the OEM design to next level, again using 17-4 Stainless Steel pins instead of Chromoly, furthering their strength and durability, as well as using FK 7/8″ Rod-Ends and 1″ Spherical Bearings in the assembly to ensure the best possible quality and above all, longevity. Also, these are made to be fully adjustable while on the vehicle, allowing caster and camber adjustments with ease. 

 

Working with both stock and aftermarket coilovers, as well as OEM and aftermarket wheels/tires, RPG has made quite the improvement in strength and versatility while keeping near OEM sizing. To finish these, they give it an anodization in a variation of colors.

The Rear Links 

 

RPG makes both the Upper and Lower links for the truck to help strengthen the rear, as well as correct the suspension geometry once lifted. 

 

Both rear links are made from 6061 Billet Aluminum, include brand new spherical bearings w/ wobble stoppers, and are made in the USA with USA sourced materials. 

 

The lower link is fixed length piece for added strength and stability. RPG notes that you will have to cut the OEM bolt on the driver side, front mount unless you would like to drop the gas tank. Although, they  include a brand new Grade 8 bolt with every kit to replace it. 

 

With provisions on the Upper link for adjustments from factory height all the up to 4 inch lifts, these will work perfectly with the height change the Fox Racing Coilovers will provide. 

 

While not only adding strength and correction to the rear end of the Bronco, they also add a bit of a positive aesthetic to the rear end of the truck with their beautiful finishes, giving a nice detail to make the truck stand out from the rest.
