Has anyone noticed if it actually increases the stiffness over bumps? I still get a ton of shaking on rough roads around town.

Not sure a good way to quantify this. Haven't hit too many rough roads other than some speed bumps and pot holes...

Ford Performance just announced a new B-Bow & C-Bow Brace Kit for 2022+ Broncos.

I used the VIN from a Raptor in order to order these pieces for my 23 Wildtrak. I can assure you I paid a lot more than the $1040.00 MSRP this kit is retailing for. Just took delivery of another 23 Wildtrak and this will definitely be one of the first mods I do.

Since I have 6.5s in rear I just want the B Brace. Anyone just want the C and sell me the B?

Hello guys…

How are you liking this kit, does the bronco drive better with it?

My Stock Bronco gets town of cowl shake on some bumps so wondering if this fixes it…

I could tell a difference in stiffness and roll.

I used a different front brace, but just installed the rear from FP this past weekend. Super easy installs.

I love the B brace. Still haven’t drilled out my roll bar for the rear on as of yet.

The B brace fits the 2021 okay without modification? Wish we had more options. That KHC brace ruined it for me with bronco spelled out. Would have looked clean if it didn’t have that they ruined it.

Be careful - if you have a Bestop or Rampage soft top, or any of the 6.5” speaker pods, you’ll have a conflict.

I wish Ford had provide these braces to the vendors or at least CAD data so they could have accounted for them in their designs.

I have a Bestop on my 4 door, no conflicts at all with the C-bow brace. Do you mean there's a conflict with the B-bow?

Yes - you have to notch the Bestop Skyrider and Trektop mounting bracket to work with the B-brace.

MTI Acoustics makes 6.6” speaker pods that work with the Brace.

Yes it comes with the new brackets to mount it, however for the rear brace you have to have the toolbar drilled and Riv-nuts installed.

I picked up One's C-bow and installed it in the parking lot. It wasn't too bad, the end plastic panels are the hardest part, they both have 2 metal clips holding them into the roll bar and those metal clips really fought me, one broke off unfortunately.

Also nice thing is its compatible with the Mabett upgraded rear dome light. The obstruction from the rear view mirror is very minimal too.

Do you think the aftermarket speakers would work with this brace?
