I would say, from doing my own sound deadening in the 6g bronco (Like ripping out the entire interior to do that work.) This video touches on a lot of issues the Broncos have with wind noise.
Not all offroading is about rock climbing folks .....
Some of you out here acting like lift height is the only thing that ever matters.
That's being said, those portals are awesome. Corrects your gearing as well for 37s.

Use these for two reasons. One they are compact. Two they work really well in snow when you cannot get a tow strap on anything.
JCR is a great option imo.
Skid plates are not rocket science, if you can find a local maker get those instead to support a small business.
I would avoid steel unless you are willing to do the maintenance.
I am putting custom qa1 dual tunable suspension on mine for the holiday break.
I didn't go all out with their mod series, that would have tripled my cost, but their custom coilovers gained me quite a bit of travel up front and it's nice to be able to tune the shocks for the driving conditions...
It's gonna be awkward in here when people realize the Bronco is modified by bronc buster, and is doing well with those mods...........too many people love to hate lol.
The badlands suspension also has more travel from what I measured.
The rear sway bar is an inch I believe, and when you talk about corner to corner articulation it doesn't take much to overpower the rear springs.
If it's around an inch you are talking 1000-2000 pounds so I am not sure why you...
Been a while since I read all the replies, I've been out wheeling and camping having a blast.
Some of my opinions on the sway bar discussion. With modern vehicles the weight balance is EXTREMELY front loaded. Just take a look at the spring # front and back with yota's and ford's. The Bronco...
Keep it in manual mode so you are in 2nd or 3rd gear when climbing. I'm seeing a ton of folks just "sending it" and that gets the front end hopping. You don't need a lot of wheel spin to get traction, that's a sign someone is too heavy on the pedel or isn't in 4L......

These result mesh with what I observed. Disconnected sway bar > sway bar disconnect.
Switch to badlands suspension and trim the bump stops an inch an you will get another inch or two.
Did Windrock Trail 26 last week and Brocofest East.
There was some rubbing on the fuel tank and rear/bottom control arm brackets, both of which I armored/improved before hand, the dudes running the group did a great job spotting.
Overall with the updates I have done to the suspension I am...
They have been testing the hoss 3.0, which just broke in sand hollow on 40s.
Not sure why people hate this guy, he has legitimate concerns and has found issues wheeling the bronco.
Sure, I was specifically seeing how far my front tire could travel UP, if I wanted articulation I could regurgitate RTI values lol. Not disagreeing with you, just clarifying, thanks sir.
I avoid forklift stuff because it's not really realistic? Like the sway bar, bump stops, wheels, frame...
No I meant 19 inches. As in the front tire, in combination with the rest of the car, gets 19" of travel before other tires start losing traction. So rear axle, other front tire, frame flex, and vehicle length all factored in. The 4 door flexes quite a bit.
I believe the rear can do more, but...
