Awesome build! I'm looking to do something similar! Most people already asked the important questions but I've got 2 more!

1) Did you feel like you lost any power without the regearing? (also are you 2.3 or 2.6)?
2) How much off-roading do you plan on doing? Any chance you can take a few pictures of this beast flexed in the front/back to see if the tires still rub?

Thanks again for the post man! This info is huge!

Lose much power not re-gearing?
How is the road noise in comparison to the KO2's?
curious about the power difference as well, if any, with the new tires and 4.46 gears. Looks great, thinking of going slightly thinner with 285/75/17 tires.

Not knocking the house, but those vehicles (including 1 of 30 GTS) are giving it a run for the money! Either your spending too much on toys, or need a bigger house! lol

I didn’t notice any power loss! The dealership told me to drop down tomorrow to try to recalibrate the computer for 35’s they emailed Ford and they emailed back and said they don’t know a whole lot about it yet and to try to recalibrate!

I didn’t notice any power loss! I have the 2.7 v6, planning on doing mild off-road until I upgraded the suspension! I’ll take more pics when I get the chance!

Here’s a few quick pics of my bronco, I took delivery today! The weather here is terrible! Pouring rain the last few days! 35’s fit surprisingly well! Zero rubbing in normal road conditions! I don’t even think they will rub much off-road! And they actually ride better then the standard badlands wheels!

It can be done with forscan if you’re familiar with it.

The bronco can handle 35’s better then a jeep! Rides way better, almost zero sway! I drove both through town and on the highway! 110kmh, and the tech is awesome! Feels strong and tough!
Can you translate please??

Looks great.
Does the Sasquatch package get you anything besides the 35s and different wheels?
Sweet Viper too

I believe that this is what the Bronco was really meant to look like. Ford is constrained by regulations (as all OEMs are) to prevent this from rolling off the assembly line, but thankfully, we can make one change to correct it.

Looks like it should. Interested to see the same upgrade on a 2-door.

One of the best looking rigs I've seen. Put mine on hold for the white/Mod top but thumps up
