Aftermarket 35's for Black Diamond?

[rubibronco]

I know a few things about the effects of larger tires on the Bronco, however, is it possible to add 35's on the black diamond or will that effect its capabilities? Basically, does it make sense to put 35's on the Black diamond? Thoughts?

This is my plan as well (ridge or trail grapplers) as soon as i pick it up. My tire guy is ready and waiting...curious to hear some insights also.

Same here. However, I have read a few threads where people said that it depends on your axles ratios, etc.. I hope more people give insight.

To my knowledge, bigger tires require upgraded gearing and a lift. Which comes on the Sasquatch package in addition to shocks and front locker upgrades.

After market might be just as or more pricey as the $4500 upgrade. So it's a no brainier for me.

There’s a range when you have to re-gear...it’s not necessarily a “must”. Trying to stay within the parameters, i do not want to re-gear. Lift and leveling kit for sure I’ll end up with. I’ll have to see how the stance look without it. And if the 35s will clear without one? <<<that’s my main concern.

Most of the rigs could probably handle 33 just fine, gearing-wise.
Fitment, may require a small lift for true 35's.
Nobody knows for sure.

Depending on your build and needs will determine if Squatch makes sense.

On my manual Base , it adds 7300 and takes away my manual.
I can do tires and regular wheels for $2500ish.
Even a small lift at 2k still keeps me under the 7300.
That will work for me, I don't need everything Squatch has.

To be clear, Squatch is a bargain for what all you get..... I am not willing to wait for ManSquatch however.
If it were available, I'd be all over it.

If your build ready includes an auto, just go ahead and get the Squatch.

True aftermarket Squatch or EQUIVALENT will probably run you $10+k.

Absolutely i agree! SAS is a great bargain, but gotta have a manual...and I’m NOT waiting for man-squatch
