Thats a good looking bronco! thanks for the info regarding springs. Did you have fog lights? I have the capable bumper with fogs so not sure what to do with them. Would like to keep them. But that’s a nit.

Hi, I installed this way back in spring of last year, so it's been done for awhile. I will post a couple more pics below. Bottom line, I have not seen any need to add front springs and neither did my dealer, which actually did the install. Probably added nearly 12,000 miles on it since then and some of that was offroading, including the event at SuperCell East.

The only problem I have with the install is my ACC bracket relocation is not perfect. I have never had it slam on brakes like the guy above explained but it does sometimes lose the car in front of me so will speed up (so opposite problem). I just have to watch it more.

Agree. I don’t see the need for uprated springs. The stock Badlands setup his beefy enough to handle the bumper and my Warn Evo 10k with no difference in front end clearance.

About the fog light question. No, I didnt have the capable bumper, only the module bumper with no factory lights. I wired all of these into my overhead switch console, which was very easy to do.

Deployable steps are great. Probably gets noticed more than any other mods and is something that actually gets used daily!

Copy all. Have you used the camera on the trail with the winch out there? How much of the view is blocked?

None now. :) I moved it to the top of my bumper loop. I have a DIY on here somewhere doing that too. I can look for it if interested.
