If you got the rear locker on that you basically have 85% of the capability of a Badlands in a simple daily driver suit.

Exactly! It is my daily driver and my goal is understated capability.

@ChapEJF would you mind snagging a measurement to the bottom of the running board step and overall height? Considering the KO2 Badlands change but wondering if it's a lot taller or just an inch for step in.

Sure, I will get you the measurement to the bottom of the step at the driver's door, but what do you mean about overall height? To the top from the ground? Thanks,

Trying to compare obx non squatch hardtop height with and without Badlands ko2. Just noticed yours is soft top. No worries step height would be great. Thanks!

From the ground to the bottom of the step at the driver's door handle is 14.25 inches. Hope this helps. I would highly recommend the Badlands takeoffs. The look and drive are great. I paid $1100 for the takeoffs and sold my OBX takeoffs for $700. Paid $100 to move the TPMS over and rebalance and mount. For a net $500 it was an awesome upgrade.

On paper, the diameter of the Badlands 285/70-17 tires is approximately 3/4" taller than the OBX stock tires. Which is a 3/8" radius so the Badlands should only raise the Bronco 3/8".
Here's my contribution to the thread.

Looking to do the same to my OBX. Did you have any lift / level installed? Crash bar removal? I'm worried about the rubbing and MPGs. Thanks!

Hi, no level or lift. Did not remove crash bars and no rubbing at all. This is a great upgrade to the OBX and I strongly recommend it. Maybe 1 MPG hit but hardly noticeable. Love the looks and stance.

Did the same today! Had a 6hour round trip but the price was good for a set mounted balanced and with tpms sensors. My wife goes I can’t even tell the difference🤦🤦. I said I can they fill the wheel wells out more and I forgot to take a pic from the front but they look much better not as skinny.

Looks great! To me it is world of difference. Love the Carbonized Gray color as well.
