Rough Country's 5-inch suspension lift kit transforms the 2021-2026 Bronco Badlands 2.3L into a more capable trail machine without abandoning factory-engineered features. The kit levels front to rear, creates clearance for 35-inch tires, and addresses CV angles and driveline geometry through a comprehensive collection of purpose-built components front and rear.
Heavy-duty front suspension components. Lifted steel knuckles, drop crossmembers, and differential drop brackets work together to reduce CV angles and maintain near-factory geometry at ride height. Upper strut spacers add strength and rigidity, while a driveshaft spacer keeps driveline angles in check. A replacement skid plate protects the hydraulic sway bar disconnect from trail debris, something the factory skid plate cannot accommodate at this lift height.
Complete rear suspension hardware included. Rear strut spacers match the front lift height to eliminate factory rake and produce a clean, level stance. A track bar relocation bracket maintains proper axle centering at the new ride height, and brake line relocation brackets keep the factory lines from binding through the full suspension travel.
Retains factory locking differential and beadlock compatibility. The kit accommodates the Badlands locking front differential so off-road performance stays intact. Factory-capable 17x8.5 beadlock wheels with a +30 offset fit without modification, keeping that functionality available on the trail.
