After the constant applications of these products only to have them return to their previous state, I went a different route.
Line-X. Cleans in one wipe. I love them, and broncos owners typically notice them and ask where I got them done.
2023 Badlands Non-Sasquatch 2.7
41,000 miles
Mostly DFW city miles, some heavier off roading (2-3 times per year)
Suspension/Geometry mods - replaced stock BFG KO2 33’s with Toyo Open Country AT3 35’s. Added Eibach Pro Lift Kit Springs to front and back for 1.5 inch lift and to level. Removed...
Agree with your points. I upgraded the springs to Eibach to raise it and level it out and ended up getting 35s when the 33s wore out. The gearing is the only thing I wonder about. I haven't been in enough Broncos to know how much difference I would feel with the 4.7 vs 4.46.
I was once in your shoes asking the same question. Ford made it easy for me: said if I kept the hardtop and Sasquatch package, the order would likely be canceled after a 2+ year wait. Covid supply chain issues and what not.
For the money, I feel like I got the best of everything with Badlands...
Made it to Broken Bow OK from DFW back in 2025 when everything else shut down. Took an extra hour due to speed, but zero driving issues. This thing is a tank.
