I bought this wheel on the forum for $700, installed it in my 2023 Badlands SAS. Plug and play, it works great:
After I bought and installed it, I found the same wheel with carbon fiber, and I'm a sucker for carbon fiber. So, I bought and installed the new wheel, and am reselling this one...
Thicker, also slightly smaller radius, maybe an inch. Feels more substantial than the stock wheel, I like it! Also, now I downshift so it holds a gear when I want to pass or merge, instant power rather than 2 seconds of shifting before the power hits. I didn't bother before because I had to...
Thanks everyone for the info on this thread. I just finished swapping my 2023 Badlands SAS High package wheel for a BRaptor wheel. I swapped the boards from the Badlands into the BRaptor wheel. The paddles worked, no additional wiring needed!
I think I did the nitrogen pressure calc right, I subtracted from the spring force at ride height, not from the rate. It only changed the rate calc by 12 lb/in.
Wheel rate = Spring Rate X MR^2 = 357.09 x .5855 x .5855 = 122.414 lb/in.
5.65" preload / .5855 = 9.649" wheel travel
9.649" wheel...
I put everything back together and got an accurate weight at a local scale. Ford's published weight for a 2dr 2.7 Badlands Sasquatch is 2731 lbs front, 2,140 lbs rear, 4871 lbs total.
Weight at the truck stop with 1/2 tank of gas was 2,640 front, 2280 rear, total 4,920 lbs. Pretty close!

I jacked up the suspension and rotated the hub by hand. Again, I measured from the surface of the coilover mount to the surface of the LCA next to the mounting holes.
At 16.99" mount-to-LCA, the fender-to-axle distance was 16.43". Hub rotated normally.
At 16.85" mount-to-LCA, the...
I pulled the coilover, reattached the UCL, and cycled the suspension a bit below SAS full droop.
I measured from the surface of the coilover mount to the surface of the LCA next to the mounting holes. Crappy pic of the aiming spot:
I drooped the suspension down to a measurement of 24.5". I...
Confirmed. I will add that info to the post, as well.
I will do that, the coilover is still installed, I did the writeup last night instead of putting everything back together:)
The Mystery of the Missing Up-travel
The Bronco6G Stickied Shock Database shows the following information for the SAS coilover:

I just happened to be browsing WC' s site, 95% sure these are Fiberwerkx fenders, looks like they are using the stock liners:

Agreed, my traction boards live in the garage until I hit dirt. Also, aren't they worried about hundreds of dollars of gear getting stolen while it's parked?
Maybe the security at their local mall is tight.
