Pics of the Bora 0.75" bora spacers on my build thread and social media accounts.

BTW, I notice the Bronco Raptor didn't have a rear crash bar mount at the Chicago Auto Show on Friday.

Little update (Hope to install Friday)

I'm super pumped have my rockslideengineering.com steps in got the door delete, lights and 3/16” steel Skid plate. Plan on posting a few measurements I wanted to know if anyone has questions or whatever just ask.

Also should have this in Friday. (Install in link)

I've got those on the way too. I've already put a scratch in my tailgate from the prop rod. Ugh. I hope these will be as nice as they seem.

Edit they are fixing bracket and sending it out. I did have the marks on my bronco (See Pics) but I still love the product just hate they had the problem.

Edit they are rubbing paint off see post 241. Will update when I have more info.

EZ-Lift Soft Top Assist System

https://www.iagperformance.com/iag-...-system-for-2021-ford-bronco-4-door-soft-top/

For me this fixed everything I hated about the soft top. (Ford should have this from the factory)

Hated lifting the back now it just goes up and way higher.

Hated worrying about letting the top all the way down and scratching the side roll bar. I let it down like 10 times yesterday seeing if it would hit never even came close. And yes before I had to be very careful.

It also makes it 100% easier to let up when you have the top let all the way down.

Now the Bad (Let me be clear this is a buy before I get my Bronco Product knowing what I know now)

As it should it does take a little more to let it down. For me I found it helpful to let it down till it got harder then walk to the back in the center and just pull it down that kept it center going past the roll bars also.

After bringing it down it is a little harder to snap locked as it should be. Look this isn't a big deal just give a full review.

This one is the only one that is a real negative getting it to unlock to let it back up you have to push down hard on the lever due to the extra tension I could see this long term maybe being hard on the small cable. Look this was a 100% buy for me like I told my wife be mod we have added but I'm just giving a real and solid review.

This is how high it now goes up.

The person I ordered them from told me they came with lights and the delete they didn't called Rockslide and they made it right no questions asked GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Also one sensor wasn't work shipped it fast and again no questions asked just took care of me.

https://rockslideengineering.com

All I can say is they work great (See more info above pics)

So Lets talk about the gap in the front. I called simply put they said due to the lines it would cost more and take way longer to produce if they would have made it longer in the front and tried to match lines same thing with the gap you can see in the next pic. Read comments in next pic.

OK in this close up you can see the lines they are talking about personally I think they did a great job on matching the lines and adding the small black plate to make it look good. (Look this is me being picky but for a good full review I called got the info and passed it along)

I really like how they poke out the side 1 I can stand on them to move the roof. 2 When I go Rock Crawling they will keep rocks off my side. My dog Zoey wanted in the pic (She is a Blue Lacy)

Measurements I wanted (This is perfect distance on my 37s)

This was everything I wanted and more. Wife and kids are super happy. Happy Wife Happy Life

Can't wait to get my Rockslide engineering units. Thanks for sharing the review so we know what to expect. Glad they included the black bar plates for the gap areas.

Ordered. Living in Chicago, the Silver Lake sand dunes OHV area is not far away and will definitely use this! Will probably paint it black to blend it.

This will be my build page so will update as I add to my ride. (2021 Badlands, SaS, Lux, Leather, Tow)

Picked up at Granger at 6pm last night drove to OKC and added 37s at 9am this morning 600 miles on her.

No lift, No 3rd light extension, 40psi tire pressure

On stock 35s

35s vs 37s

37x12.5r17s (Really 36.5in tire)

Tail Light (No extension) 40psi tire pressure

Testing the 37s (Swaybar discontinued and Back tire just off the ground)(40psi tire pressure)

It was super tight as you can see but you also want be running 40psi tire pressure, in the real world I may end up grinding just a little off the tips.

Yep, same setup, all day !!! I went with K02s.

My Bronco has an uneven body panel issue same as yours on the driver side. The passenger side is perfect. I plan to fill it in with a rubber strip eventually.

Yep I'm probably going to add an extra rubber gasket to fill in the gap also.

Looks killer! How are the KM3’s on the road? How did they balance out and how is the noise? I had 37” Cooper STT Pros. They got loud fast and always seemed to have a little vibration. I’m almost leaning towards 37” KO2’s.

I had KM3 last set they are amazing for mud and not bad on the road they where quiet for around 15,000 miles then they started to get louder after 20,000 they where loud after 35,000 they where crazy load. my wife was super happy when I replaced them you had to talk over them.
2017 Tacoma its pretty quiet truck. Great for off road KO2 are just as good off road and they never got very loud my 2 cents

Looks awesome!

I ordered the same tires in early October here in Canada and I'm still waiting on them...
