The Ford Bronco's return has been one of the biggest stories in the off-road world, and for good reason. Ford designed the sixth-generation Bronco from the ground up as a capable, customizable off-road platform — removable doors and roof, body-on-frame construction, solid front and rear axle options, and a thriving aftermarket that's exploded since the first units hit dealers.
At Redline Auto Creations in Tampa, we've built everything from mild trail-ready Broncos to fully built show rigs. Here's our complete guide to the best modifications for the Ford Bronco.
The Bronco's independent front suspension (IFS) or solid front axle (Sasquatch/Raptor) means your suspension upgrade path depends on which model you have.
A 2-inch leveling kit is the most popular starting point. It corrects the factory rake and allows clearance for 35-inch tires without significant modification. For more capability, a 3–4 inch lift from brands like Icon, ReadyLIFT, or Rough Country opens up room for 37-inch tires and significantly improves approach and departure angles.
These models come with beefier suspension from the factory. Upgrades focus on replacing the factory Fox shocks with longer-travel, reservoir-equipped shocks from Icon, King, or Fox's own aftermarket line. A 1–2 inch spacer lift on top of the factory Sasquatch suspension is a popular combo that adds clearance without sacrificing the tuned ride quality.
The Bronco's aggressive styling begs for the right wheel and tire combination. Popular setups include 17x9 wheels with 35x12.50R17 tires for the classic off-road look, and 17x8.5 wheels with 37x12.50R17 tires for Sasquatch and lifted models wanting maximum clearance.
Method Race Wheels, Fuel Off-Road, and KMC are the most popular wheel brands for Broncos. For tires, BFGoodrich KO2s and KM3s, Nitto Ridge Grapplers, and Toyo Open Country AT3s are the top sellers. Check out our wheels and tires service page for more options.
The factory Bronco bumpers are adequate for light trail use, but for serious off-roading or just a more aggressive look, aftermarket bumpers are a must. Steel front bumpers from Warn, ARB, and LoD add winch capability, better approach angles, and D-ring recovery points. Rear bumpers add departure angle improvement and often include a swing-out tire carrier for oversized spares.
Rock sliders protect the rocker panels during trail obstacles — essential for Broncos that see real off-road use. Skid plates for the engine, transfer case, and fuel tank provide undercarriage protection on rocky trails.
The Bronco's flat hood and boxy grille make it a perfect canvas for custom lighting. Popular upgrades include roof-mounted light bars in 40–50 inch lengths, A-pillar-mounted ditch lights for peripheral trail illumination, bumper-mounted LED pods or light bars, and rock lights underneath for nighttime trail visibility and show appeal.
For headlights, Oracle and Morimoto offer direct-fit LED headlight upgrades that dramatically improve visibility over the factory halogens found in base and Big Bend trims.
Bronco interior upgrades are growing quickly. Popular modifications include all-weather floor liners from WeatherTech or Mopar, grab handles for the A-pillar and roll cage for passenger comfort on trails, dash mounts for phones and GPS units, MOLLE panels on the backs of the front seats for gear organization, and audio system upgrades including subwoofer additions and speaker replacements that significantly improve the base sound system.
Bronco builds with soft tops benefit from sound deadening treatments to reduce road noise. Hard tops offer better insulation but can benefit from aftermarket roof racks from Gobi, Front Runner, and Rhino-Rack for cargo capacity — especially popular for overlanding builds.
