Good question, not sure why they havn't made an IBP for the regular Bronco yet. They do have a 3.0 IBP for the Bronco Raptor.
Looking at going with the Rides in the next month or so and have been looking over the page. Not sure if it got added recently or if I glanced over it before, but there's now a "adventure tune or dual sport tune" option. What's the difference in those?

Adventure Tune
I have been looking at the Fox 2.5 Performance HTO coilovers on your website, there is not a lot of user reviews or comparison to say a Bilstein 6100 or 6112. And do you do a custom tune on these as well? Thanks.
We truthfully do not have a lot of hands on experience with the HTO shocks.
I’ve ridden in an adventure tune equipped Bronco and personally have the dual sport. Happy to answer any questions on my perspective as well
Where are both tunes relative to hoss yellow Bilsteins on road? (E.g compliance, roll stiffness, brake dive, etc )
A variety of factors contribute to this such as modifications and weight.
Yeah that answers my questions for the most part. I just sold my extremely stiff (20k front springs/12k rear) C7 drift car that I daily drove a few days each week to work, so the stiffness doesn't really bother me, but it's hard to tell if what some are saying is "stiff", does that mean they were expecting super soft Kings or is a normal truck with no weight in the bed too stiff for them.A variety of factors contribute to this such as modifications and weight.
That being said, both have better brake dive and i noticed an improvement in roll stiffness on my dual sport though I can’t speak to the adventure tune there.
You can also adjust the contributing factors to both roll and dive through adjusters on both. I go soft on the streets and pretty stiff on whoops.
I liken my dual sport tune to a truck. It’s actually way more compliant then I expected but still stiffer as far as ride goes. I was expecting it to be rough but have actually been very happy. I’ve attached a picture of my build to give you an idea of what I’m running. I’m pretty heavy in the back as I run a drawer system and tools. I have stage 2 springs rear and stage 1 front.
Ride tends to recommend the Adventure tune more because it’s pretty soft and feels really really good on roads for a daily. A few people that purchased the Dual sport were expecting plushy ride and didn’t get that so that’s why they push those more as they still do well in the desert! I love to hit whoops as fast as possible though so Dual Sport it is for me. But yea, I was still surprised at the ride quality as a daily. Almost like a truck.
The adjusters are different than I’m used to. Very mushy and hard to detect the clicks so I go slow when adjusting and take my time. But they actually make a noticeable difference which I really like
An example of how soft the adventure tune can be: We drove a Bronco on the shocks over a cobblestone road. I turned to the driver, amazed at how smooth it was over the cobblestones at full soft setting.
The dual sport isn’t like that, it wants to go fast on bumps. It wouldn’t chatter but it would definitely bump and feel the cobblestones more at slow speeds.
Other big factors for roll resistance would be center of gravity and also swaybars too. Shocks aren’t the end all for that. I still have roll on sharp tunes in mountain roads. It’s just more confidence inspiring now, still not a sports car though
