Looks great.

My wife thinks I'm nuts because I've done all sorts of crap to mine that would make some warranty claims challenging... but eh, I tell her I rolled the dice and want to live a bit - and that I can always drive her car if I break mine.

Nice!!! I’ll simply show Ford/warranty where it says” lift me BABY”

Looks awesome! Way nicer stance than stock squatch. Someday...someday...

Did you go with the recommended +18 offset that Readylift recommends?

Post up how it does on the trails and if you get any tire rub up front.

Thx. Went with +18 offset. No rubbing at full lock, cant wait for trail ride see how she does…

Nicest color ever offered on the trim that gave one the most value, great canvas to mod.

Well said. I feel the same.

Wish I hadn't gotten bumped a year. Had to settle for velocity blue.

Looks great. So are those 35’s or 37’s? I have a very similar setup - 2022 badlands SAS with 3” ready lift for SAS (looks like the same one, the UCA looks the same anyway) and 37” KO2’s. I think I’ve read every thread on this forum about tie rods, steering racks, etc. and am trying to decide what to do. Just have a spare tie rod in my recovery box at this point. I went wheeling down in southern Utah last weekend, did a couple moderate/4 trails in Sand Hollow, had a great time but was nervous about busting a tie rod as my setup is the poster child for that scenario.

Nice! 37x12.5, maybe get the Icon or similar process quality tie rods. I’m in Great Lakes not many rocks here but they can be found. , I mainly overland & trails so should be ok…

Kind of similar setup, I have a spring perch lift with 37's and have the tie rod boogeyman under my bed as well. I have JKS tie rod sleeves and delrin inserts in both sides of my steering rack. I overland mostly but do enjoy the rocks when I can. Still have not broken a rack or tie rod yet, Knock on wood. If I do, I am upgrading to the HOSS 3.0 immediately.
