Base Bronco RTR on 35s - no lift

[hoffsauce]

Not going to lie, I was very fortunate to get my Bronco because I was trying to do it with the least amount of financial impact. In the end I traded my 2021 Explorer and saved some money.

4 Door Base, Iconic silver
RTR 17x9 +30s
Cooper 315/70/17
No lift

I cannot complain. Ford made a lot of great features standard and I'm not a hard-core offloaded. It was just something for my family and I to enjoy in the rural area we live in.

Shout out to Discount Tire Direct for the quick painless walk-in and professional service. 4 man pitcrews work those bays. Pretty impressive to watch. Highly recommend them. They switched my TPM sensors over, installed matching lug nuts ($54) and, cleaned everything up for $144 total.

No rubbing. No Tire noise, rides even better than factory. Definitely a solid ride.

As it sits I have 38k in and super happy with it

I love those! Did you purchase the tires and take them there or just buy everything while you were there?

I purchased everything first and took it in.

Yes you can easily fit 4 35s and 4 wheels in the back with the seats down lol

Once you have them a while, let us know if they throw rocks. the Good Years suck for that...

I'm ordering the 5th but I need to make sure the 3rd brake light will clear. The steelie is still on there for now. I just haven't figured out what I'm gonna do yet.

3.73 gearing? Do you feel like the car has enough power?

I feel like it has plenty. The gearing is great in these, I think.

This info is copied from a recent response of mine to another member recently:

The brake light assembly has accommodations for both style tire carriers, and can be raised or lowered an inch depending on which carrier you have. The carriers have holes drilled to avoid human error I believe, but drilling a couple extra holes will make it dual position for the brake light.

This is from my Badlands non-Squatch, and drilling where the red dots are shown will allow the brake light to be raised 1 inch:

This is a take-off from a Wildtrak - notice the hole/screw locations and the brake light raised up to show the extra fastening locations. I center punched where I will drill when I need the lower brake mount setup:

Almost forgot! There's different bumpers for the brake light bracket with the 1" height variation, but you might get away without them. Taller bumpers are for the 1" higher placement:
