I didn’t do the whole rack. Just did the passenger side housing and the bronze bearing inserts on both sides. I will post if I have any problems/failures. There were no installation instructions but , everything looked well engineered and solid.
The bady lift was definitely required . My suspension lift is only 2.5” in front 2” rear. With the BB bumper relocate kit I don’t have a gap although it also pushes the bumpers out.
Thanks, runs/drives great at highway speeds. Good idea to get your steering upgrades installed and a good shakedown prior to tire shopping. Get a good shop to do your alignment (I would do this immediately after lift and tract bar relocate bracket install)
Thanks! I’m digging your two door. Kinda wish I could’ve gone that route but, I have a rack of kids/grandkids. I will definitely post if I run into trouble and/or break something.
I have wheeled it lightly, so far. No rocks as of yet. The tires do fine in the mud. Very happy with them in the rain. Supposed to be great in the snow-yet to be seen.. Had it off road in Maine last month. Ran some serious rutted muddy logging roads NP
2023 Badlands Sas mod list:
*JKS Max Tire kit - this went on first
*Eibach coil springs- didn’t provide lift as advertised so I made the below modifications
Front- added Level kit shim spacers, one .25“ on top one .25” on bottom. Netted 2.5” total front suspension lift
Rear- added...
I tied down on top of my soft top NP. Put plastic down under net wrapped tree (9’er on mine) use trail site tie down locations and rear bumper recovery points- it worked fine.
I had a similar issue (not quite as bad as yours sounds) Track bar relocate bracket and an alignment took care of it. I’m in Maryland and the shop I used for the alignment know what they are doing with these Broncos. Mine (Badsquatchman 2.5” lift) is straight as an arrow now. Send me a message...
Yeah, took about 4 days. Got it back (no more start up rattling)drove it approximately 1,000 miles and the timing chain broke. Had to have motor replacement.
they didn’t even offer any extended warranty on the new motor.
I think I’m still in shock about the whole ordeal. Seems to run well now.
