I too did a ton of research trying to figure out which CO to get.
I was back and forth between the King and Fox. Then, started to read more and more about the additional mods needed to run 37" tires and decided that I wanted to stick with 35" and build my Bronco around that to optimize that...
I believe that they are 3 peak rated.
I have the Ridge Grappler, which would be considered a little more aggressive than the Recon Grappler and the Ridge Grappler are 3 peak rated.
I've had them on for over a year and have driven in about 8 inches of snow with zero issues. They have great...
Everyone knows that physically fitting the hardware will take a little time, but can be done.
In the end, it's going to be computer programming that'll determine if this is viable or not.
Great progress guys! Can't wait to see the coding issues and how you tackle them.

That sucks. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
These are fellow off-roaders. We should all have a "brotherhood" to some extent. The vast majority of SUVs sold today only go off-road if they accidentally drive over the grass or pop a curb.
That being said, Stellantis is in dire straights ATM.
That's it!
Hope to see you out there! I just joined the Tri-State Broncos group. Looks to be a great way to meet like-minded individuals and get out more often.
Thanks to all for your input. There's a wealth of knowledge on these forums. I'll report back on how things go.
Yes, I have the WT rack (mine is a 2023) and I ordered a set of HD tie rods as a backup.
Yeah, technic is a big deal for every form of extreme driving (on track or off-roading). You can break lots of parts very quickly doing stupid things. I have a ton of track experience (SCCA, AER, BMWCCA...
I guess it's a little harder to explain what I'm doing than I thought.
I'm just not going to do the full extreme off-roading. Basically, they won't even let you on the course with a stock vehicle (Jeep or Bronco) as they know you'll never come close to making it (think much more extreme than...
I'm planning my build and have ordered most of the parts already. S
Since I'm going to have essentially everything apart and would make the BB Tube/Axle upgrade much easier, would this be something that you'd do in my situation?
I'm never going to run bigger than 35" tires - I just don't wheel...
Lots of Jeeps in my area. Never had one wave. I will wave to fellow Bronco owners.
If a Jeep owner would wave, I'd wave back. It's a 4x4 thing, no one else would understand. I used to own a couple of Jeeps.
Makes no difference to me if they do or don't.
Give them a call or send them an email. They're very responsive.
I got the rear diff cover/skid right away. They were all on sale for their Black Friday Sale.
I didn't think about the rear shock skids, but I am now!
I'll have the Bilstein 8112. Not sure about clearance or which one to order.
I got the new 7075 aluminum skids. They come standard with the HMWP.
I figured if I'm doing it, do it right the first time.
They've shipped already. Can't wait!
Panda is having some great sales with free shipping.
Next Venture Motorsports is having 20% off their skids. Huge savings that will cover shipping (I'm across the country).
74 Weld is also having 15% off their steering racks. I ordered the Stage 3 so if anyone needs a HOSS 3.0 steering rack...
This could be an opportunity for one of our more established vendors to pick-up the production of some of these designs.
Shouldn't be hard to reverse engineer.
Thank God it's been blocked!

I'd contact 74Weld directly. They know how to setup the suspension so you won't break things.
It seems like most of the force is on the tie rods (which translates to the steering rack). But also you have to make sure that you're fully engaged with your axles at full droop so you don't blow out...
