Normally about 100 pounds (this includes the extra weight of the 38” tire and gate brace) loaded it up before I took this photo. Appears to ride about 1/2” ish lower with the extra weight. I don’t have an adjustable bar & the bracket is fixed
In the picture below, the rear suspension is lifted approximately 2.5”. With the RJ bracket my stock tract bar is nearly perfectly level. In this photo there’s about 200lbs of gear in the rear storage area.
If you have factory rock rails, you can put a screw through the flap into the rock rail end cap. If you don’t have rock rails , you can use a heavy gauge zip tie from the Jks bracket to the flap hole (as you know they don’t quite line up)
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 Broncbuster...

First new Ford. Had an old F150 years ago for dump runs and my new teen driver. I was a Chevy and Jeep guy prior to my 23 Badlands. Now the wife is always complaining about my Bronco obsession 😁
I recently installed an ASFIR trans skid plate on my 23 Badlands 2.7. Straight forward easy install but…. I’m wondering if I should find a way to get a second bolt on the trailing edge..?
A little tip. Get there a bit early and scout out where the Bronco Badlands are. Sit close to the rear exit during the introduction/ meeting then get out the door quickly to pick out your Bronco. It’s a jump in the front seat and call dibs situation. Less than half of the Broncos on my off rodeo...
