Big Day! Pick up Base 2 door Have SAS wheels and Tires to install!

[Bronco Boater]

I pick up my base 2 door tomorrow with auto, 2.3 and roof rack. I found a set of 5 sas wheels and tires and want to instal right away. Will I be able to get away with this with just the removal of the crash bars only and no lift / level? 99% on road use with no rock crawling.
I know the big wheels will hurt performance but that is ok. Any thoughts and has anyone done this? Any and all pic appreciated

I think with a gearing on the base auto you're going to be hurting to turn those things.

I will do approx 0 to 60 time with 30 inch and same with 35s and post and and also post pics before and after. I can only work with what I bought sight unseen 1.5 years ago

This has been documented here on the sight. I believe fitment wasn't an issue but there was rubbing due to lack of lift.

Out of curiosity - why would you not just get a sad package from factory?

I've been looking into adding the Sas rims and tires to my Big Bend. One thing you haven't mentioned is that with your bigger 35" tires, your calibration will be off. According to a calculator someone here sent me, when your speedometer says your going 60 and thinks you're on 32" tires, once you have the 35's on, you're actually going 65. Your odometer will be off too. Apparently it can all be recalibrated easily with something called ForScan. You should definitely look into it and do it when you make the shift.

Here is the link. Look under "speed calibration" and put in your old tire size and new tire size and you'll see what I mean.

Hey big day ! I put the sas takeoffs on and no rubbing no fit issues at all. My bronco is a base 2 door auto with small motor and it is a perfect fit. Check out the pics and let me know what u think! Anyone want buy a set of Steele s complete?
