Badlands "self squatch" finally done!

[cpmartin1999]

youre welcome. yes you should have no issues at all. so stock rims are +55 plus 1.5" spacer if my math is correct and if it is the correct way to figure it out, I have something equivalent to about a +17. Correct me if that is not correct way of calculating.

now wondering if the plus 30 like sasquatch rims would work?

I thought those tires would be too wide for the factory rims.

8-11" rim recommended. These are 17x8

“Modified crash bars”?
Maybe a silly question. What’s modified? Remove?

I will take a picture tonight. 4Wheel parts makes them. 4Wheel parts calls them

a “big tire kit”. They replace the factory crash bars with modified crash bars that allow more clearance while turning bigger tires.

Wheeled like a champ. Nothing crazy. I did get to play with several of the GOAT modes, lockers and trail turn assist. Most importantly, no scrubbing or rubbing!

Any concerns that your spacer will push your CV joints to far at full droop? I read a detailed post describing how the BL and SAS had already maxed out CV joints that might not take the extra angle. I ask because I contemplate a self squatch on my BL one day.

I have wheeled twice so far (we are going again this weekend) with 0 issues thus far. I'm sure that over time, (any) modifications will stress factory components. However, my build is very mild compared to countless others I've seen. My goal was to add larger tires with no scrubbing while maintaining my factory wheels and ride quality and while ensuring that all factory drive components remained intact and fully functional.

I bookmarked this post a while back. Looking to do an almost identical set up. Looks great ! How has everything held up ?

7700 miles with no issues other than a programing issue that throws codes when I remove the doors (still waiting on Ford to figure this out). No issues with any of my mods.

Right on ! - Appreciate the reply.

Just found this post. So just to confirm, if i swap for SAS wheels (+30) and the Goodyears (315/70/17) I won’t really need any spacers even with the longer travel Bilsteins that come with the standard Badlands? I plan on occasional off-road but may require full articulation at times. Thanks!!
