Full Build, is Kincer worth it?

[Scubadds]

I am in the middle of 3 Bronco projects, I am struggling with the idea of getting a kincer chassis. (This particular Bronco will have new Dennis carpenter body, and coyote, full build from the ground up). I could get the kincer leaf sprung chassis, which would be nice; 2” lift built in, 2” wider, more cross members etc, Just seems nice to have a guaranteed straight and rust free frame…….Or for a decent bit more I could get the 4 coils sprung variant, which has axle housing, spring etc….(which I will need anyway) I want as good and safe a ride as possible, thinking a 33” tire (similar to velocity)

Would you guys think or know if the coil sprung variant would ride better On the road? I hear so many opinions that leafs spring are ok, then I hear they are problematic for ride quality. I have other vehicle for off road, this will not be a trail monkey.

Another Bronco came with a 5.5” lift, has an older duff setup; seems to have bump steer issues; It doesn’t drive well at all; I have yet to modify if from how I bought it as I just am not sure which suspension system to go with…..so I am a bit cautious

BC bronco suggested I use my stock chassis;
Thanks for any advice

If you have the money, the kincer stuff is very nice, there are other shops that make frames as well, TDK, velocity, roadster etc....

3 builds is a lot!

The base kincer leaf is $5750 bare; in the big picture that’s not a huge cost….. the next one jumps to $14k or so, but it closer to a roller

Good guy and great stuff.

Kincer?

spend it if you got money to spend. i would stick to a stock EB frame. minimal 3" lift to keep low COG. my opinion.

 

[bax]

Kincer?

Yes

The TDK is very similar to Kincer and quite a bit cheaper especially after shipping. I priced out both and shipping to northern Washington state was almost as much as the TDK chassis alone. They make a really nice chassis but I just can’t justify that kind of extra cost. After shipping the TDK is still less than the Kincer. I will be getting the krawlers edge tank and family cage though.

Check out patriot classic 4x4. They have some nice frames with shorter lead times

Thanks. I wil check them out.
I would plan to drive over to kincer and pick it up.

I guess my question is also is the 4 coil setup better? Vs leaf ?

If I was spending the money I would buy the 4 coil setup from Kincer.

Great family, company and products.

Yes, it is. It'll give a better ride and better handling.

I would absolutely spend the money if it’s in the budget. I like the patriot chassis too. Unfortunately neither are in my budget so I’m buying a chassis and duff suspension and rebuilding my diffs.

thanks guys, I spoke with Emily there this am; Got a fresh quote for the builder series, they are booked till Jan/Feb; which is fine with me....
Think I will sell off one of the projects and go that direction

I just posted my Kincer adventure chassis and custom body for sale in the classified section today. Only selling cuz I have to many other things going and its just sitting. But I am a Raving fan of Kincer products. Their Chassis are unbelievable.

Buzz us back when you’re ready to move forward. Lead times are really good right now but constantly changing. I think you’re making a good decision to go the coil sprung 4-link route - I chose the Freeway Series chassis for my personal bronco to keep CG low and I also added the Tractive semi active shocks later as icing on the cake. Happy to help any way I can! Come see the shop and drive Broncos if you have time! Happy Thanksgiving!! ~ Emily

Nice. Glad to see things progressing. To one of your other comments Scubadds, it’s rarely surprising that a bronco with a 5 1/2 inch lift handles like crap. It would be more surprising to hear that one was done correctly and drove well!
To do a 5 1/2 inch successfully, you really do have to do a lot of other things associated with the suspension and steering especially.
Keeping it light up top doesn’t hurt either, but correcting steering angles and driveline angles is critical.
