Great write-up. Thanks for the photos.
What was your interest in buying this kit? Was it for the performance or hidden winch clearance? I've been considering the same kit, but after seeing the 17.5" clearance, i'm not sure it is enough. Thanks!
Stage 1 is for Non-Sasquatch Broncos. Its more like a Bilstein 5100 kit.

There are also replacement Coil Springs for the SAS Bilsteins ESCV shocks. Or the Stage 2 coilovers which appear to be compatible with all trims.
On the inflation note… is everyone’s tire pressure reading in the dash accurate with the actual pressure in the tires?
My dash reads about 5 psi higher than the actual tire.
Just discovered mine was leaking today too. 312 miles and 2 weeks of ownership. Dripping from the passenger A pillar. Not sure where the actual leak is.
I'm sure there's long term reliability/durability differences with some of the brands. However, this just makes me think ANY winch is better than NO winch... 🤷🏻♂️
Build date: 11-23-22
After getting postponed weekly since 12-9-22 it shipped 1-14-23
Updated by dealer on 2-2-23 that it was still in Blue Island Illinois. (4 hours from Detroit 🤦🏻♂️)
And as far as I can tell it’s still in Blue Island.
Is Blue Island code for “we lost your Bronco”?
Did...
It's probably just marketing hype. I agree with you though.
Its sad that all these "whatever Editions" are coming out and OG res holders still don't have their "Basic" orders.
THIS right here is a Connoisseur of Offroading. Well done sir. Those are awesome rigs.
Now.... having all that experience. Specifically, why does the Bronco blow them away?
If you don't mind sharing.
Thanks!
