OEM 33's on BL optional wheels.
They look better with dirt on them.

Bad ass

Im on the fence when it comes time to replace these whether I’m going to 35s. I have the 2.3l MT so I‘m already geared 4.7 for it. I could use the extra height on the Bronco’s low hanging fruit. However, I really like the way these KO2s handle and feel.

ahhah! This is pretty close to what I'm going for. I have a 8/8 build date for a non-sas four door MT Badlands and I just ordered Fifteen52 Analog HD wheels. I'm torn on getting 35''s and the RPG 2.25 lift or just doing a 1'' level and sticking with the 33s.

lt’s another reason I’m hesitant to go to 35s. I’m not ready to get into the supporting modifications needed from changing the angles of the suspension and drivetrain too much.

Man, it just drives so well on the road, and like it or not that’s where we spend most our time, I don’t want to eff with that. I’ve done level lifts, pucks, body lifts, etc on other trucks in the past, and it seems something always suffers and you get what you pay for.

I’m building slow. As I identify need over want. (and inevitably break sh!t) I’m going to wait and see what Ford may offer through the accessories or performance end. Or look for some SAS 2.0 or HOSS 3.0 take offs. However, the ICON 2.5 EXP have me intrigued as a middle ground.

Where’d you order the fifteen52 Analog wheels from? I tried a few weeks back and they told me they were discontinued. I called everywhere.

I just ordered them from the Fifteen52 website. They are back-ordered but I should get them in 6-8 weeks. Right around the time my Bronco arrives..??

I hadn't seen the ICON 2.5 EXPs before but it seems like a great option. I think you're right, so much will be coming out over the following months/years it's probably best to wait.

I don't know why the rake bothers me so much but I really want to level my Bronco. I hear people saying how terrible the pucks and spacers are but are they really THAT bad?

I know they drive so well stock but honestly, I might be staring at my Bronco just as much as I'm driving it. haha

Looks good! Nice hard too too. Which spacer lift did you go with? It’s it a leveling lift or 2” front and back? Do you have any additional photos you can share? Thanks!

edit- guessing you had to run wheel spacers to push your tires out a bit too?

I installed the SVC 2” coil spacer lift front and rear. No wheel spacers. Tires flush with outside of the flare. Removed crash bars.

285/75R17 on stock steelies. Coil spacer lift 2”

Looks great well done.

 

[R1Bronco]

Which lugs did you use?

I bought the ones from Ford with my points....

whoops I got these confused with the Kmc Roswell wheels. The Roswell’s have been discontinued.

This looks fantastic! Sorry if these are dumb questions. But did you need to lift it at all for those to fit? Also are there any side effects like rubbing or the speedometer being off?

You won't need any adjustments for 33s, 35s will require crash bar removal to avoid rubbing.

The speedo will need to be reprogrammed for the larger tires (BD going from 32 to 33 shouldn't be major, bigger increases will be).

Hi there and thank you...
No lift or rubbing...
The speedometer is 2mph slower than actual speed now....I believe it was 1mph lower than actual speed stock....
