Bigger tires raises ground clearance. And I think the cyber orange with 37s looks perfect. If you don't want to hurt performance, always pay the money for forged wheels which will help with weight from bigger tire. And if something breaks thats when you upgrade parts lol

My only comment, and I see this idea posted a lot, is there are a lot of people that are in between pure mall crawler and "wheeled hard". My life will be 95 percent mall crawling, top off around the neighborhood type stuff, and 5 percent offroad, and I feel like the offroading I do will be nowhere near the limits of this truck. I have taken rented rubicons that are bone stock and wheeled them in colorado on trails I will likely never take my bronco. Hell, I was scared doing it in the rental. So if I can get the looks of 37s and the only caveat is that I can't wheel hard every weekend, I'm personally fine with that.

I don't want to build a totally half ass rig, but i feel like if the factory squatch is accomplished by changing bump stops, I wouldn't feel guilty about putting small pucks on to clear 37. And that saves several thousands on full suspension.

All that said, if the factory lift kit is cheap enough to do at delivery, I may consider that. Will be interesting to see how Ford accomplishes that option.

For me it makes sense to go ahead and get the Sasquatch first, then upgrade the lift later in order to run 37s. That way you get the front and rear lockers and the 4.7 final drive ratio. Then you shouldn't have to worry about re-gearing to put those 37s on. That also means you won't have to spend all your money up front. Wait for the 35s to wear down enough to need replacing, then upgrade the lift and tires all at the same time.

Thanks!

On the older Dana 44s that's true. The JL/JTs are easily running 37s locked both ends on the new gen of Dana 44s. I know in the gladiator world the axle tubes themselves are 50% thicker than they were on the JKs. I wheel with a guy that runs 38s on his JT Rubicon, and he isn't nice to it.

Good to hear. I too am of the previous 44's point of reference. 37's are going on anyway, possibly without any additional lift

I'm in! 37's on a set of 17s with 2 more inches of lift? Now we are talkin some serious crawling out of the factory... Yeah buddy.

I ordered up some 17x9 method 312s in bronze with 37s to go with my zone lift. I have a 22 badlands Sasquatch with lux

Digging up a 2 yr old thread?

Since you brought it up.... I did go 37's and also a long travel kit. Will have a lot more stuff happening this month also... Little Preview...

Seems like there would be some unnecessary stress mounting your Bronco on a concrete wall like that.
