Ok the information is tough to find on them. I was told the Bilstein aftermarket shocks are extended. in that case looks like Icon are better suited for my needs. Thanks

Hi, they are larger diameter and apparently the shocks are longer than the oem esv. They offer lots of adjustability and are easy to get locally. Shock surplus has good reviews on them so they really seem like a bargain.

I have a Badlands on 35x11.5 that I want to lift +2-2.25 front and +1-1.25 rear. In your experience, for such a small lift, are rear trailing arms necessary to get a good alignment?

Yes as a mechanical engineer that has been wheeling for a while, Im aware of the mechanical advantages provided by a solid front axle for articulation. I chose the Bronco becauseI travel annually 45 000 km in northern Canada and although I offroad every week, having a quick and somewhat agile...

It would be surprising to bring a new model way faster than the Raptor.

They are all appealing. The thing is Im sure they all perform very well on the road and are plenty comfortable for my taste. since the Bronco’s articulation tends to be my limiting factor on the more difficult local trails, I figured it should be my priority.

Ok then UCA and rear trailing arms will be ordered. Money isn’t an issue but I just don’t usually like the mentality of changing things for the sake of it.

Will I need lower rear trailing arms and track bar relocation or is it possible to get a solid alignment with only +1 inch in the back. There’s lots of diverging opinions about at what point you control arms actually limit articulation.

An the longest (extended) coilovers available in 2.0 and 2.5 in diameter. Currently have the stock Badlands with the short bump stops and 35x11.5 tires. Wheel travel and articulation are my priority. I plan on setting +2in front and +1 in back and run 35s after the upgrade. I would rather keep...

I’m surprised this info hasn’t leaked yet but Im friends with a corporate Ford guy and when I brought up the 2.3 hybrid rumour, he corrected me and said there would be a more exiting option, the V6TT 3.0 hydrid ecoboost like in the Lincoln. So over 490hp and 690lbft. Im definitely getting a new...

Im waiting for the summer but yes the small 3mm-9mm spacers can be used with a 35x11.5 tire on the stock badlands and it will clear the control arms.

As someone who wheels in the snow a lot, these are all good observations. I think 35s, lockers and a lift kit are all very important to prevent getting stuck in sugar snow with over 2 ft depth.

So I think these 6mm spacers will work fine as the 35x11.5 tire is just about 7mm wider. Which means about 3.5mm closer to the control arms. A little 6 mm spacer will make sure nothing rubs and with the wider tire slightly poking out if the fenders. JiiinMiiin Lot de 2 entretoises de roue de...

1/4 inch would be fine.

Hi folks, With my previous bronco, I was able to run 1.5in wheel spacers with 35x12.5 but didnt care about the excessive fender poke that meant the truck was always dirty. This time, Im looking at Toyo AT3 in 35x11.5 on stock Badlands 17x8 ET55 wheels. If necessary and to make sure it doesn’t...

Yes I like the mr 301 and 305 very much

Those are cool but I couldn’t find the offset for the 17x8.5 on their website. Do you have a link with this info?

This will have 0 impact on the resale value of an Everglade and make lots of Bronco owners happy because unless you have the Sasquatch wheel, there is no other interesting oem options and almost no aftermarket wheel that looks sturdy with a reasonable offset.

I work in Northern Quebec and last year we hit -40 in Matagami, good thing we have block heaters

i dont have a solution but confirm that even when you remove advanced traction completely, it still kicks in whenever theres a moderate slipping condition and its annoying.
