37’s on stock / Fox 2.5 Sasquatch

[IslandBronc]

This first post is of my stock badlands sasquatch with new wheels and tires I had put on today in anticipation of having my fox 2.5’s put on in a couple days.

these first photos are the stock sasquatch with 17” KMC Wrath wheels -+00 mm offset and 37x12.5xr17 cooper stt pro MT’s.

Also, the shop only had 4 wheels in stock so the spare is on order. I had the 37” tire put on my squatch spare for now. I do have the DV8 third brake light extension. And slight inner fender wheel well rubbing at full lock but not bad. I will repost once my fox 2.5’s get installed in a few days.

Can you show us where it rubs?

Yeah the 1.4" wheel spacer will help that. I have 2 more then I need.

You have the fox 2.5” lift and still need wheel spacers??

Dropped the bronco off yesterday to have the Fox 2.5’s installed. Front is at 42.25” and rear is 42.75” roughly from the center of wheel to the fender. Have to take it back in a couple weeks for them to do a re-torque once everything settles. Looks like it was only lifted a couple inches from stock. I’m guessing the shop didn’t play with it much from what they were preset at out of the box. I Could tell right away how much better the ride was with the fox 2.5 compared to the Hoss 2.0. Looks much better as well. I am very pleased.

Slightly better photo…

Looks great! Are your Fox’s tuned or off the shelf? I kept seeing reports they were a little soft in the rear and it was recommended to go to a 250 lbs spring in the rear if you have any aftermarket bumpers/tire carriers etc.

How do you like the Coopers? I saw Discount has the on sale right now.

I was debating if I should mount my 37” wheels/tires before getting my coilovers in. Glad it worked for you. I’m saggin .65” front and 1” rear, so not sure it’ll work as well for me…

I haven’t tuned the reservoirs or anything yet as it is pretty comfortable the way the shop set it up. They pretty much installed out of the box but did adjust the height settings.
As for the coopers, I’m liking them more than I thought I would. Better handling on the street than I expected.

what did your total vehicle height become?

It’s about 77.5-78”

I am going to do something similar. That is so close to typical parkade max clearance height which is about 79.2", at least where I am from

Yeah most garages in Cali and now in Guam where I’m currently located are roughly 7’ clearances. 79.2” is cutting it close.

I have black diamond, and will do 2" spacer and 37s. Still close but hopefully gives me an extra inch vs badlands and a 2.5"

Good luck. Post photos when it’s complete.

No I have the stock Fox 2.5 that comes with the Wildtrak. It has a spring perch on the front, but only 1.5". Also zero clearance wheels.
