If I remember correctly the 2022 Badlands comes with the HOS suspension? If the answer to this is yes, what is the difference of this HOS and the 3.0 HOS?

I was expecting a different post here. Only to find poor spelling and misleading title 
Badlands and any non-wildtrak with sasquatch has HOSS 2.0
Wildtrak comes standard with HOSS 2.0 and can option to 3.0
Raptor gets HOSS 4.0

I was about to say I left that decision up to my wife. Oddly enough she chose no.

I'm hoping that MY23 will allow you to upgrade the Badlands to HOSS 3.0. That would make the wait almost worth it.
There is no non HOSS suspension system on the Bronco, only 4 levels of HOSS suspensions.
H.O.S.S. is High Off Road Stability Suspension System
HOSS 1.0 is the base suspension with the hitachi dampers and is standard on Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond and Outer Banks
HOSS 2.0 is the first upgraded suspension system with the Bilstein position sensitive dampers. HOSS 2.0 is standard on the Badlands and WildTrak, and optional on all other series as a part of the Sasquatch package.
HOSS 3.0 is an upgraded version of HOSS 2.0 with the steering components from the Raptor's HOSS 4.0 but with 2.5" Fox internal bypass dampers in the place of the Bilstein dampers on the HOSS 2.0
HOSS 4.0 is the Raptor specific variant of the HOSS suspension system with 3.1" live valve Fox shocks and unique control arms a strengthened steering rack and tie rods.

OK...but what does 3.0 have that HOS does not and then the same with 4.0. My assumption is bigger shocks, stronger bars, etc? Thanks

ok super helpful. So i have HOSS 1.0. If i want to upgrade to 2.0 for example, all i have to do is change the shocks? no need to change control arms, springs etc'?

Correct. Not sure of the secondary market in the UAE, but the Badlands/Sasquatch Bilstein shocks have springs that match the original OEM build spec. i.e. a 4-dr 2.7L with Tow package will be different than a 2-dr 2.3L. If you aren't adding additional weight such as front bumper/winch, then you want to find takeoffs from a similar build spec. as your Bronco.
