At least two options are known to work well. Note that the second option fully eliminates the feature intended to prevent fatalities in small offset (SORB) collision.
17x8.5+12 (or OEM sasquatch wheel with 0.75" forged spacer) with smaller 37x12.50 such as BFG KO2/KM3 (must trim corners of 4...
Agreed, you have to temporarily use a USB-attached cd. But after install, you can run from hard disk without needing the cd. Or at least you can with the 2021 version.

FYI, the spare wheel carrier is shorter on the Bronco SAS models due to the SAS wheel backspacing. So OEM SAS wheels probably can't be used unless you add additional spacer to the carrier mount. But +0 offset aftermarket wheels might be OK.
If you buy the RC 1" kit, it has 3 spacers (one lower, 2 upper). To get ~3/8" lift, add only the lower 0.25" spacer. To get ~0.5", use both upper 3/16" spacers. Note that lift to spacer ratio is about 1.5.
Are you running Icon stage3+ coilovers? If so, the Icon spacer added on the swaybar mount means that you need to drop the RCI plate further with spacers to provide enough clearance.
Your opinion is shared by many and there is nothing wrong with using 2H. However, Ford's recent 4A systems were designed for all on-road conditions, including dry road. Ford is confident enough in their design to make 4A the default street performance mode.
You are right. For 2.7L/2.3L Bronco...
0.75" forged spacers are the sweet spot for sasquatch wheels with 37x12.50's to minimize rubbing, plus less stress on components than most wheel upgrades. Probably only mod needed is to trim the corners of the 4 crash bar mounts with an angle grinder. 1.5" will rub and require more...
I would probably remove the brackets, mount steps to pinch seam (loose), then add the brackets. Maybe then you can tell if one if one is bent or something.
I had to add a spacer washer on one of the side middle mounts (between mount and body) for correct fit.
Good luck!
Unless Ford changed something recently the bronco modules don't support 38", but you can use forscan and set it to the max supported "circumference" of ~2800mm (~37" tire) and live with the remaining speedo error. The Ford Performance Tune should also let you set near the max (it uses rev per...
Note that the updated low-power controllers don't seem to cycle the steps when applying power. That was the first thing I noticed after updating the controllers. They appear to cycle when you close and open the door the first time. If you purchased the steps recently, you might have the updated...
A few thoughts:
check that both connectors are fully seated. battery ground disconnected when plugging/unplugging.
10A charger attached to maintain voltage
when using Forscan, don't use saved configuration (force full re-scan for modules)
try to clear the DTCs using Forscan? It may not clear...
I installed the new controllers a few days ago. The original controllers were over 130mA. With the new controllers, it dropped to 33mA. Still high, but much better. The new controllers are black (original white). The controller behavior is also slightly different and doesn't seem to cycle the...
Yeah, the older RSE steps have a big problem with battery drain. It will drain the battery in a week or so. I can't remember how many mA's I measured, but it was too high. They have fixed the problem, so contact RSE support to ask about a controller swap.
Update 10/2023: RSE has fixed the battery drain problem and their steps now have a low power sleep mode. Contact RSE support to request an updated controller for older steps if you have battery drain issues.
Read earlier in the thread for details and discussion, but you will need to remove the passenger taillight to access the factory adjustment bracket/bolts and center the tailgate. Note that you have to remove the IAG hinge to remove the taillight...
RC and Broncbuster may not be considering that the UCA clearance at full droop is impacted by the alignment at the increased ride height. The coil position at full droop will be different as well due to the preload. So probably only option is to find UCA known to work at SAS+4" ride height with...
