Asking what's been asked before, what do I need for 35's/37's

[CarmeloS]

2dr Badlands, got UCA's and Icon Coilover's waiting to be installed, then for Christmas gonna possibly get big tires/rims

I'm more interested in the supporting mods (And speaking of which, if this is in the wrong section, please move it to the right one) so its basically one and done rather than "... Oh, I need get x, y and z".

Daily with seasonal offroading, don't really plan on rock crawling except for maybe once or twice if I feel I she can handle it (She's my one and only, can't act stupid), so nothing too extreme parts wise.

Thanks

Be careful, these are famous last words. I said the same when I got into an off road capable vehicle. Next thing you know, you're hooked and climbing out of things on 2-3 wheels.

I see you have a Badlands. I recently slapped 35's (315/70/17) and 17x8.5 0 offset wheels on my non sasquatch badlands without doing anything to suspension. I only had to remove the crash bars. I also put on the sasquatch fenders. I haven't had any rubbing issues but I also haven't been rock crawling with full articulation (I won't be doing that too often as well)

For 35's,

You'll need the wheels and tires and remove the crash bars.
It'll work as it sits. IF you get a harsh rub while offroading, THEN you might want to look at dropping the big cash for suspension work.

Spare will fit still,
The tailgate bumpers/ spare tire supports might need fiddled with depending on the wheel/tire setup you go with.

You might want to raise the brake light mount to better clear the tire. They have kits for that, not expensive. I still haven't done it on my Base.

Now to find said mods, since even if I dont have them all installed right away, better to be safe than sorry
