In the great debate I don't see this winning anyone over.
We are DEFINITELY only seeing the upper light as we know by the Bronco R taillight assembly is a production worthy piece. However, never though of it as a "B" but may B. Wait, but the driverside would B backwards lolWhat if we aren't seeing the whole taillight and it is in the shape of a B...
Damn Ford is in 3020
This is why... notice the rear door edge is visible with no rear fender butting up to it. This is the "rugged" version of the 4 door. Inner fender liner appear to be creating the shape.

Tail lights illuminated and showing through the camo on a 2 door Bronco.
Take Your First Look At The 2020 Ford Bronco's Taillights
I know everyone who is even considering plopping down several wet paper bags full of cash for the upcoming 2020 Ford Bronco is most likely waiting to pull the trigger based on the reveal of one crucial detail: the Bronco’s new taillights. We’ve seen what seems to be the leaked headlights, and now, thanks to a reader named Eric spotting a disguised Bronco testing in Michigan, we have a peek at the new Bronco’s taillights.
From what we can see behind the obscuring disguise-mesh, the taillights appear to be rectangular, with the taillight function itself seeming to be handled by an LED-illuminated outer rim.
Interestingly, it does not appear that the outer border is entirely illuminated, with the bottom side being dark on both lights, though the passenger side lamp has a small portion illuminated. Is this a design choice, or a malfunction? It’s not clear yet.
The interior of the taillight will likely house the brake lamp and likely the turn indicator, though we can’t yet tell if red or amber indicators will be employed.
The reverse lamp is nowhere to be seen, though, if we look at previous Bronco rear lighting, it could be just below the main taillight.
As far as how this design fits into the Bronco rear lamp heritage, we can see that a simple, slightly curved-on-the-outer-edge rectangular lamp was the original Bronco design. Later, the lamp was changed to one incorporating a reverse lamp, and was the tall, vaguely shoe-bottom-shaped taillight that was also used on Ford trucks and the Econoline.
Later Broncos from the 1980s used a simple, chamfered rectangular wrap-around corner lamp, with an upper stop/tail/turn red section and a smaller inset reverse lamp.
If there’s a small, square reverse lamp below the upper red rectangular area, then I think the new design would feel enough like a distilled-down, modern take on the traditional Bronco taillight design.
I’d like to see more; I hope Ford is preparing a 50-slide Bronco Taillight Heritage PowerPoint deck as we speak.

Witch edge? LOL there are a 100 edges in this image. The DOOR edge is legit. The lack of a rear fender is legit. The wheel opening edge is a guess but appears like a plastic wheel well liner.
I think you did good work, but something is definitely wrong here... because 8" travel it is not (A stock ranger has more than that)... I will point out that i'd expect more jounce than 4" and just glancing at the picture it looks like more than 4" drop. Maybe i'll look into it laterNo longer taking width as a given I went back to the snowcapades 2-door to estimate how long the arms and travel were ...
This is the second frame with the wheels off the ground so I'm assuming it is max droop, with no disconnecting sway bar or other hidden tricks to grant any more, it looks like a 14" arm and 4" max droop if it returns to dead level at ride height.
Presuming equal up travel because we don't want to pummel the **** out of the crossmember and there isn't a lot of space in the wheel well above the tire when its level, that gives a max travel on this "off road" trim of 8". Color me unimpressed.
It had better be hiding some hella-good travel in the rear if it wants to articulate. This would explain the Frankenranger lifting a wheel in the JV video.
It doesn't matter what kind of off roading you're interested in, light / extreme, fast / slow -- 8" travel is not good, and certainly not earning any best in class appraisals.

Even if it was 8 inches, that's all the wrangler has stock, if I remember right.
