Curious how the reservoir to tire clearance is. Seems like that is exactly where the tire will be.

I thought that also. Maybe a redesign. I was told they are backordered till end of the year. I took the hit and ordered a set

Anybody who puts these on their Sasquatch, I will buy your lightly used Bilsteins for my Base. 🤙
Anyone who puts these on there SAS should have just bought a non SAS.

Because a stronger front axle, lockers, and gears don't matter?
How do you figure? A non-sas manual badlands has all that (4.7 gears, front and rear lockers, with the stronger front axle). Also the difference between the 4.46 vs the 4.7 in the automatic badlands is only 5%, which is not a big deal, I did the math on that before, it's negligible. At 5 MPH in 4wd low, its the difference between 3184 RPM (4.46) and 3355 RPM (4.70), just 171 RPM on 35" tires.

No mention of a Badlands. My quote was to the poster that said if you have a SAS and add Kings should have bought a non-SAS.

I run the Kings with adjustable resi's, they suck up big hits and plush on the road. Really interested in getting a comparison to the Bilsteins tuned for the Bronco, hoping for the best.

Why no IBP’s announced. Sure they will be a grip more but the performance and internal bump zone would make it worth it. This will be my first upgrade on my badlands squatch! I guess I will have to call king to find out when I get closer to a delivery.

by the way if you live near Barstow California, call king and make an appointment and you can bring your king equipped Bronco to Barstow for a testing session. You have to remove the shocks yourself for them to revalve. If you option the clickers and with a base valve you should be able to adjust where you need to be with out the tuning guys. If you bolt on a bunch of cake decorations then you might need to respring though.

I did, swapped spring rate to accommodate steel bumper and winch.

Suspensions tuned to specific user's needs are rarely "one and done".
