Hi Guys! I need some ideas on what rims and lift I will need on my BD non squatch order (Area 51). I don't have a build date yet on mine but would like to have plenty of time to choose the aftermarket upgrades I would like and order them ahead of time to get them installed as soon as I get my Bronco.

I would ideally like to go with 35" tires (Nitto Grappler or Similar) W / 20" rims. What size lift should I get? Offset? Rim Width? I have no clue. I will be doing a fender delete which I think will look pretty nice. In reference to off-roading I will be doing... it wont be much! Pavement princess or possible dirt roads is about it.

Thanks in advance!

Are there many different proven options on the market at this time for such kits?

I just edited it, I meant more in what size lift versus actual kit.

going from the 32" to a 35" you may need to re-gear the differentials too.
I don't believe my Ford dealer can do that.. What is the issue with it? I heard from a friend of mine about having to reprogram with the speedometer to deal with the issue of it being off with the different size tires. I didn't mention that I opted for the V6 on my build.

I have a toyota pickup with 35's and for it re-gearing the differentials is a must. For off road you can use low range more often but for street driving re-gearing is the only answer.

For prices call up some local shops and the Bronco should cost about the same as a ranger to re-gear.

Near me there is a place called "Coast Driveline & Gear " I don't know what is near you but there would be something like that. Give them a call.

I'm probably going to 35's and no chance I am regearing. 4.46 will be just fine unless the OP is going to be doing some heavy duty rock crawling.

Just add the Sasquatch pakage going to cost you more money to go the route you going plus labor and it won’t be under warranty

The BD comes with the same gearing (4.46) as the automatic Badlands. It has better gearing then the automatic Base/BB/OBX. The Base/BB/BD trims with manual transmissions all have 4.46 gearing also. So you might not need to regear with the BD and 35's.

Yes. IMO the biggest issue will be the front differential strength if off-roaded beyond light. Ford performance is selling the M210 with 4.46 gears and a locker so if the OP grenades it he can upgrade.

Badlands comes standard with the big front diff so I wouldn't worry about it.
