Yes, we installed the anti-sway and I think it worked really well (at least from what I could see in the mirrors…that puppy wasn’t moving). I did replace the lock washers on the assembly because they were pretty gnarly when I pulled them off.
Sorry for delay.
We did not need a hitch extender to get past the spare tire. It’s a great, almost flush fit. Note: I do not believe that you would be able to flip up and stow the basket without an extender.
I don’t have a side view, but this unloaded view gives you a general idea of the fitment.
Late to the discussion, but wanted to add that our JTop is by far the best upgrade we've made in terms of use and bang-for-the-buck. We're topless at least half of the year and it just wouldn't be possible without the shade. Rests perfectly under the soft top too. No regrets. Good luck!
Thank you!!
A little more clearance over the stock setup would have been better for sure. Like you said, we did drag at times, especially when the surface was choppy. It was tough to find a “good” line in those sections. All that said, I think you’d be ok as long as you aired down and kept it...
Enjoy the trip!!!
We couldn’t believe how hairy it was on the way back, especially around that one house that’s all but in the ocean (near sand fiddler). We saw multiple cars beached around it…we guessed due to electrical issues after rolling through the water/waves. Wild.
So now that we have the Bronco, we decided to spice up our every-other-year-ish trip to OBX and take the party up to Carova. To do so, we needed to add some cargo capacity given two adults, two kids, and a dog that usually long-haul in a beloved minivan with car-top carrier.

Your pics in that post are drool-worthy! Thanks for sharing the link.
Funny anecdote - the look of your 34s reminds me of the rendering we got from Ford when we ordered the Bronco originally. Excellent. Thanks again.
Has anyone tried to install an @WickedG6 Wicked Relics Packhorse tray with the cargo enclosure?

I didn't find a ton of info on the DELUXE raised cargo area enclosure (a weird name, btw), so I figured I'd add a post in case others are thinking about adding one.
tl;dr hella useful, has it's limitations, worth it
Ease of install/assembly - on a completely arbitrary 1-10 scale, I'd say 4...
