37's without lift on 2023 Wildtrack Sasquatch?

[msgtchris]

Hey All,

I have a 2023 Wildtrack Sasquatch. It has the 35s on it. Can I run 37s on it without a lift?

thanks

most folks will say you have to do a 2" level lift, but I've heard some can do it just fine, but I'd bet you'd need spacers to keep from hitting the LCA

I had to go with zone 2" lift for +1 offset wheel and 37" to make them work.

Do you plan on ever taking it off the pavement?

If so, you need ~ 3" of lift as a SAS to comfortably fit 37s without rubbing. You also need to trim rock sliders, proper offset wheels or spacers, I recommend the JKS max clearance kit.


I still rub here and there if I hit a sharp break over angle or something but nothing bad. Took months of adjustment to get it dialed in for rock crawling..

This is a Bronco on true 37s, 3" Icon Stage 6 lift, Fender delete, JKS max clearance kit, HOSS 3.0 steering upgrade, custom bump stops, trimmed rock sliders etc.. I still rub with 1.5" spacers on the wheels.

If you're doing it for looks, my first recommendation is not to do so. Ride quality suffers as does fuel economy.. Still really comfortable on the road though, don't get me wrong. With that said, you can get away with just doing a spacer lift and trim as ya go to get rid of the rubs over speed bumps.

Failure to do this right will result in you crushing your quarter panels, FYI. Ask me how I know..

I'm a bit heavier than stock now as I have a full 3/16ths steel skid package etc so I've had to adjust up to about 3" of lift.

Hey, so how do ya know? Wouldn't that qualify as "crushin' it"?

Nice lookin' ride.

Thanks! My Bronco is named 'The Intrepid' after an unfortunate quick sand incident, so I went with a pirate themed armor set. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out.

My passenger front quarter panel has a nice dent right above the wheel well arch for jumping it to test after the lift and finding out that the factory bump stops were still about 1" too short.
I'll try to find a photo.. Long story short, I 3d printed some custom bump stop extensions out of a durable rubber and its been fine since.

I have 23 wildtrak with fox shocks (obviously). I ran readylift 3 inch lift. 37s x12.5 BFG’s. no rub lock to lock. TurboMac HDs 17x9 -12 offset

Stock vs not.

’22 Wildtrak, Eibach coilovers, +3” vs stock, MT Legend EXP 37x12.50R20, ICON bandit wheels (-24 offset). Removed the plastic stupidity on the back of the front wheel well and added Rokblokz mud flaps to protect the sides (not shown). No rubbing, on and off road.

There's at least one member on this board who stuck 37s on his otherwise stock wild track and has had no issues, including going off-road.I'm sure at extreme flex it may rub.

But be warned..the added pressure and strain 37's will cause on everything from steering to CV joints may come back to bite you.

I thought HOSS 3.0 was so that you could go up to bigger tire sizes, at least partially? At least the MY23's have that stock?

On another note, your speedometer will need recalibration. The Ford ProCal has a setting for larger tire sizes (I think specifically 37's).

So curious, just how much have the 37 s cost you in MPG ?? Guessing 1.5-2 MPG …..??
Thx

17.2 before, 16.3 after … multiple tanks of gas … Honda Accord gets 38 mpg … LOL

No HOSS is same height as a standard sasquatch just a much better ride at offroad speeds, and beefed up steering.

On another note I did my damndest to put 37's on with no lift, and then with a small 1.5" perch on the front only. With the JKS tire clearance and new DV8 wheel wells it is workable but still not ideal. Even with 1.4" wheel spacers.

I am finishing up a King Shock upgrade now with the proper lift and a new UCA.

I should've clarified the steering is ready for 37's. If you look at the original quote, it was talking about the steering.
