For those that have replaced their shocks on a 1.5" Badlands, what did you go with?

Thx

Are you talking front and rear or just rear.
There really isn't much of an aftermarket selection of shocks. Other than OEM, Rough Country and Bilstien are about it. I did see some shocks on RockAuto from FCS whoever that is, though their description sounds good and the price is very reasonable.
If your budget is bigger, Flatout suspension has some options to choose from.
I believe I to will be in the market for shocks on my Badlands, as at my recent service appointment they said the shocks were weeping, I didn't look at them myself to confirm what the dealer said, but I will have to look.

Eventually it will be all 4. All shocks fail and the lift puts strain om them. Maybe not a lot but center of gravity moved higher and works them more. Prefer Bilstein but shops don't seem to want to do anything but OEM. Well, OEM are basic. But, what are the right lengths when lifted? What are the available options by model #, etc. People have had lifts now for 4 years. Are they just slapping OEMs in when worn out?

OEM, Rough Country and Bilstein offerings are more budget friendly.
Flatout makes great stuff, personaly I wouldnt invest that much into suspension for the Sport
If I had a full size Bronco, I'd be a different story.
