Since you have the modular front bumper, you have a front skid plate, but as others stated, more skid plates would be good. The Bilstein 5100s, Bilstein 6112s, Eibach Pro Truck 2.0s (possibly with HD spring if you plan to add weight to the Bronco), and Pro Comp (formerly 4WP) suspension are all...

Bilstein 8112s would be ideal although I believe minimum ride height is about Sasquatch and they are very pricy. You could also take a look at Icon 2.5 EXPs and Bilstein 6112s if you are looking for more budget friendly options at the Sasquatch height. They are both 2.5" shock bodies without...

I have Kicker KS series speakers in the dash and rear pods. I did add larger rear speaker pods, but would not if I were to do it again, since even a larger pod is not big enough to provide noticeable bass.

I would recommend a tailgate brace with any tire heavier than the stock sasquatch. My tires and wheels combined are about 90lbs and I had creaking from the tailgate off road and over pot holes before I added a brace.

Regardless of which 35 you get, I'd recommend a tailgate brace. I noticed it eliminated any creaking from the rear when I installed my Hammer Built brace. There are a bunch of options out there.

If you are after mid range, I would try new kick panel midbass woofers first. I have Hertz 165F. After that, you can do 6.5” rear pods if you need more midrange.

Like Hemisfear said, the kick panel speakers are 6.5" woofers, so they will only produce mid-bass, no highs and no lows below about 80hz. I replaced my rear pods with larger ones and did Kicker KS 6.5." If I were to do it over again, I would stick with the stock speaker pods and upgrade to a...

Regarding the lift, parts can be as cheap as under $200 if you do something like a 2" front and 1" rear spacer to lift and level the Bronco. If it is simply a top hat spacer, you can most likely find a shop to install them for only a few hundred dollars. Bilstein 5100s are available for $600...

I will buy them. When are you available to meet?

I need some shocks while my Icons are being rebuilt and am in the Northern NJ area if these are still available.

While a 2" lift will allow you to fit 37s (with the right wheel offset), it will rub when off road as seen on this video: . If you are confident you will not off road your Bronco, this may work, but I would not recommend 37s on stock shocks with a spacer as the tires will be much heavier than...

In the video below, Dana does not recommend going above 4.70 gears in the stock housing due to clearance issues causing poor diff fluid circulation. I would look on this forum to see if anyone is running 37s on 4.46 geared non-Sas Black Diamonds or Badlands.

For on road, I would go with either 285/70R17 or 275/70R18 depending on what size wheel you want. Both will give the Bronco the off roader look without too much sidewall flex on the highway and tread noise. 285/70R17 has some nice riding and quiet options like the Falken Wildpeak AT, Cooper...

I’ve had no issues with the Bosch Evolution wiper blades, which are less expensive than the Icons.

No problem. I don’t have any experience with the Bilstein 6112’s, so I can’t compare them, but I don’t think you could go wrong with either option. At the time, the documentation for 6112s stated that the minimum lift would be about 2.5”, which I don’t need.
