Looks awesome! How is the ride after the lift compared to before?

Congrats! I wish the HOSS 3.0 had been an option when mine was built.Looks great!!! My WT HOSS 3.0 is supposed to be built this week, want to add the Zone 3" and 37's as well.
Is this the RC Spare tire relocation kit you used? https://www.roughcountry.com/bronco...nd=2022-ford-bronco-4wd-856075&sid=EB2VfKgSxS
Says it's for 35", but whatever you have clearly works with the 37"... Did you add the reinforcement kit for the added weight, or just the relocation kit?
Honestly it is good. Most of the ride difference I'd attribute more to the larger tires, heavier wheels, and higher stance. Its very nice though. Seems to flex well, and has great road characteristics even when going 75+ on the highway.Looks awesome! How is the ride after the lift compared to before?

Yes, I used that relocation plate, the reinforcement kit, and the 3rd brake light extension.

Did you use rough country's 3rd brake light extension? If so, any problems installing it. Their website says it won't work with Sasquatch equipped models for some reason.I just picked up my Bronco from Texas Complete Bronco in New Braunfels Texas (an hour SW of Austin). They are the same shop that did the red Remote Media and Repair Bronco (below). They did a great job and I couldn't be happier.
Here is my build so far:
Badlands Sasquatch 2.7 Antimatter Blue
Zone 3" lift
37" BFG KM3s
Black Rhino Arsenal wheels 17x9.5 +12 offset
Bronco Buster brace and bushing
Rough Country spare tire relocation
swapped Sasquatch fenders with a 6G member's stock fenders
tint
Wish list:
ADV fiberglass fenders
rear seat cupholders and A/C vents.....
FYI- My RC light extension bracket did not match the holes on my Badlands SAS spare tire carrier. I had to drill my own holes in the carrier to match the RC bracket.Did you use rough country's 3rd brake light extension? If so, any problems installing it.

Cool. thanks.FYI- My RC light extension bracket did not match the holes on my Badlands SAS spare tire carrier. I had to drill my own holes in the carrier to match the RC bracket.
Depending on your wheel choice, there’s no reason to buy the relocation. I have 37’s with 0 offset method wheels and only used the reinforcement. Clears the bumper perfectly fine. That way it keeps it tucked closer to the tailgate.Looks great!!! My WT HOSS 3.0 is supposed to be built this week, want to add the Zone 3" and 37's as well.

I had the shop install it when they did the lift. I'm not sure if they had to do anything special to make it work, but its on there.Did you use rough country's 3rd brake light extension?

Hammerbuilt has a really nice tailgate reinforcement panel, and sells a 3rd brake light extension that works for both.Did you use rough country's 3rd brake light extension? If so, any problems installing it. Their website says it won't work with Sasquatch equipped models for some reason.
Thanks. Perfect! Just ordered it.Hammerbuilt has a really nice tailgate reinforcement panel, and sells a 3rd brake light extension that works for both.
The lift is holding up great. I'm really happy with everything. I kind of wish I had gone with a different offset that poked out a bit more, it sounds like what you have will be perfect. I'd love to see it when it is done.Great Post! Awesome rig. Curious about your lift. I have the same Zone lift and a set of BR Abrams wheels with o offset in my garage waiting on my Badsas. How is your lift holding up. Any issues? Anything you would do different? Thanks.
I will post some pics if I ever get my Bronco. My concerns are the stirring rack and weight. I am thinking about buying the Broncbuster bushing and billet housing. I hate to spend the money but might be good insurance. I have the JKS stirring sleeves. Also putting heavy bumper and winch on front and heavy rear bumper with tire carrier. This is going to squash front and back. A lot of this build is cross fingers and hope it works out. Have you had any issues with stirring components? By the way, I'm not that far from you.
