yeah I’d like to have mine leveled as well.

I spoke with the Service department today at SAC. They said they can install the leveling kit but parts would need to be supplied

Great News!

I sure hope it does happen! This 2 weeks of no scheduling is disheartening haha

I am obviously hoping I am one of the 88

I did remove the 3 items requested, most bummed about the hard top removal.

Same here! I removed them all. Hard top is an easy fix if you can get your hands on one. I was most disappointed with losing LUX cuz that stuff is a lot harder to install after the fact.

That is good news. What does the group recommend for just a level kit of a Sasquatch? What’s best option that won’t affect warranty. Any suggestions ?

I haven't looked into that yet, but I would be interested if anyone is doing any other mods or swaps when they pick up, I would be interested in getting a set of wheels if someone is taking them off, a stock set of Badlands? Would save me the hassle of doing it when I get home

I’m going to have my Badlands wheels too, once I get it. Hoping to get scheduled this next go around. I’m in Satellite as well

Not holding my breath for me. I don't think I want to change my order. My only constraint is the hard top and I've waited since July 2020 so waiting isn't the problem for me anymore. I'm not terribly far down the list either, so I feel like I would have a decent enough chance (for whatever the list is worth anymore) but John's email made it seem like the majority of people have changed their orders. That concerns me a little bit.

I also got a little hung up on this part:

"Ford will be cancelling all unscheduled, non-COVP Approved 23MY Bronco
retail orders effective March 7, 2023"

I was worried at first that meant all unscheduled orders after this NEXT scheduling window would get cancelled, but rereading that I'm assuming it just means if you don't have a COVP approval AND you're unscheduled, your order will be cancelled. I thought I still had all of MY23 to get scheduled without losing my order, right? If you were to tell me that my COVP approved order WOULD be cancelled if it didn't get scheduled in this next go around, I might get a little worried though...because with my luck I'd be one of the 9% of people that don't make the cut...

Only orders that have not been COVP approved will be cancelled.

I'm personally just going to do a 1" level in the front. Zone offroad has a popular kit and your typical rough country.

Steeda has a leveling kit now - I'll probably go that route, as it looks very good. Used their stuff on my mustangs.

Thats what I was near-certain of but I needed some assurance to walk me back from the ledge a bit haha...thanks

I guess I'll just continue to roll the dice, assuming SAC will still get Broncos after this next go-round if I were to get passed over again.

As Crowza mentioned - Only if you're order isn't COVP approved. This was supposed to happen in November, but here we are in February, and they're finally going to do it.

Seeing as you just have MIC and are supposedly not too far down the list - I'd say you're fine.

You are smart to not change your order. Just watch, everyone who does same will get a MY23.

I think John giving off a doom and gloom vibe on this email is to state that they've been given a GENEROUS amount of broncos to schedule in the upcoming weeks. Even though they have 88 slots - depending on what you're build has/is ... they may not get 88 broncos.

If there are a lot of buildable units (Non-Wildtrak\non-3 constraints), then there's a good chance they will get all slots filled; however, if, let's say 60% stick with fully loaded builds ... Ford will most likely not be able to fulfill all those types of units within the 88 allotted. Thus, they won't get 88 broncos, if that makes any sense.

Basically - If you're in the top spots and have a Wildtak or build with many constraints, you look good compared to the ones potentially a quarter or farther down the list. Ford will still look at your res date, and within what SAC is allocated for those loaded builds, you should be selected first.

You also should consider that people will change their orders up to that 3/7 cutoff. There's a good chance that more and more could move away from constraints and free up the mix. Most are sticking to the guns, and if I were closer to the top of the list, I would be too.

This is just my consensus from reading the forums daily and watching good sources such as The Ford Guy's videos every week.
