'22 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch, 2.7, Lux, Tow with 37" BFG KM3s (no lift)

[DarkHorseDarling]

It's finally here!

Reserved 11/20/20
Ordered 3/19/21 (reordered 11/2/21 MY21 to MY22)
Built 3/15/22
Delivered 5/9/22
Picked up 5/27/22

We took a '22 Badlands and dressed it up like a '21 Wildtrak; Shadow Black painted grill, mirror caps, handles along with powder coated beauty rings. We also painted the BRONCO letters Cyber Orange with gloss black overlays. Bronco Depot supplied the script emblems (pre cease and desist). The custom Ford emblem courtesy of our friends at Emblem City. With 1/4" wheel spacers, we fit BF Goodrich 37x12.50R17 Mud-Terrain KM3 tires with no issues. Claire and Andrew of Bird Kultgen Ford of Waco, TX took great care of us and I'd recommend them to anyone.
We picked it up with 24 miles on it and have had a blast. This thing scoots but at a cost of ~14mpg.

How was the rubbing with no lift?

Looks AMAZING! Great job on the customization.

Cross a ditch diagonally as you turn lengthwise with the ditch before you go out trail riding.
You'll find a few rub spots that may cause issues unless the trails are flat dirt roads. Not judging!!

I still don’t see what 37s does vs 35s. Looks good, just don’t understand why bigger tires are a thing.

From my experience, the KM3s look better and don’t throw as many rocks as the Sasquatch Goodyears. They also perform quite a bit better off road. That was enough for me.
Once the coilover folks get a little more time for R&D, I’ll be looking for another 1-2” of lift mainly to address the factory rake and of course alleviate any concerns for articulated rubbing.

I fully agree the Goodyears are horrible. My confusion is the difference in 2” bigger tires. The weight increase of 12 lbs, cost $56 (est) and cause rubbing without a lift that will cost more. Is the off road benefit that much?

My WT Hoss 3.0 will be built on 10/17 and plan on doing the KM3/.25 spacer/stock wheels too! Thanks for putting together such a good example!

Sucks as there is not anything really out there yet on the Hoss 3.0 suspension yet... Looking for a 50/50 puck/perch. Sure now that its standard on the WT they will be catching up soon!

Great looking ride! And thanks for link to your badges. Def ordering that black/badlands Ford for the rear!
Have the same KM3, love these tires
