Bronco on 38's -- 38x12.5r17s Nitto Ridge Grapplers

[Bird Dog Off Road]

Got them on today and love them! Went from 37x12.5r17 KM3s as they were looking a little small these days and are getting LOUD. Build includes 3" over Sasquatch with @Radflo Shocks we got from @Metal-tech 4x4 , 1.5" Body lift from Mikellisbodylifts.com, and the JKS Max tire clearance. No rubbing whatsoever, but we'll update the thread once we hit a trail with it. We use Icon tie rods, @BroncBuster Bushing and housing for steering support. We have a set of the RCV axles and BroncBuster Diff tube going in next Friday for the front drive train. Let the good times roll!!!!

What offset are you running?

Good question, I should have included that. The wheels are Fuel Off Road Zephyrs 17x9 with -12 offset

Take some photos flexed with the tires turned. Pretty sure the body lift bough you enough room.

Yeah, I'm pretty confident that if there is any rubbing, it will be very minor.

I'll be at an event tomorrow where they will have a flex ramp, so maybe I can test it out more there.

Looks good

Pulled some comparison photos With the 37” KM3s and one with the stock Sasquatch’35’s

UPDATE: on the flex ramp when fully flexed (driver’s side wheel on the ramp) and wheel turned full lock passenger, there was VERY light rub on the fender liner on the bottom edge. We have an appointment to install new RCV axles and the Broncbuster axle tube this coming Friday, so we are gonna try to adjust the caster during realignment to move the wheel slightly forward. Otherwise, we think the rub is not an issue given it is so little.

We will likely upgrade to the new MetalCloak metal fender liners anyway.

Did the KM3s get louder as they wore or did the volume just get old after a while but not actually louder?

I love a roof spare for the trails but how do you plan on getting them down to change a tire off-road?

 

[Toccoa]

Man, what kind of trails you got around you that require three spare tires?
