I got the base and the dealer had installed the rough country “brodozer starter kit” and wheels/tires. On road it is miles ahead of my Wrangler, and it will only see light off road duty at times. Kept the Jeep for rock crawling duties. Now I got to call my niece for some douchey sparkles for my jeans pockets 😁.for a bare bones model I’m plenty happy with it.

Looks good. So you did the Rough Country 1” Level / Brodozer kit? You know your tire and wheel specs?

LOL, had to look up Brodozer... I hadn't heard that one before. I almost went with the Brodozer lift on my OBX, but decided to spend a little more an just put the Badlands shocks, springs, and stops on the OBX. I don't that I will regret this decision over opting for the Rough Country 1" spacer lift (but not being able to call it a Brodozer makes me sad).
Badlands takeoffs are the way. But apparently, if you decide to do half a lift kit, there is enough adjustment in the headlights to make it safe for use on public public roads as long as you don’t tow anything. That’s my only beef with brodozers. It doesn’t have anything to do with what they look like. I just cannot stand driving feeling like this:

When you take your shocks and springs off, can you shoot me the part numbers. Apparently the BD shocks and springs differ from the Base/BB/OBX shocks and springs. It would be interesting to find out what the difference is.

I’m getting a base. So I should have the same as your OBX. I don’t think I’ll be doing anything except I wouldn’t mind Bandlands stuff later. I might just roll with stock and order a badlands in 24 or 25 depending on if you can order one and expect to get it in a reasonable timeframe by then.

Ahhh my bad, I thought you had a black diamond.

Actually, my order is currently complete save 2 shocks that do not appear to be back-ordered. Hopefully they will ship next week. Flip sent me an update this morning, just waiting on the rear shocks.

The Badlands suspension provides nearly 11.5% more front articulation and nearly 14.5% more rear articulation over stock OBX/BASE and roughly 4-4.5% more articulation than the Sasquatch.
