My 2 cents is....if its not a true Bronco then why did Ford make it look, drive, and off road like the original. It's just a smaller version of the "full size". Doesn't means it's any less a Bronco. Mine did this without any mods.
I just did the HRG lift on my Badlands. I got a 1.25" lift out of it and fit 245/65-17 BF Goodrich KO2s on it. It left me with plenty of room in the wells. The first is with the lift and stock tires. The second is before the lift.
My Badlands was built in October and I received it in mid December. It has just the pilot360+, tow, and BL package. Guess wait time just depends on options and location.
