Does anyone regret going to 37s?

[techdisaster]

No regrets at all. I love this ride!

Toyo 37/12.50/18 ATIIIs on Icon 18x9 wheels. Icon Stage 8 Suspension

Icon stage 8? That’s my dream build. Tell me more! Was it everything you wanted?

Dang I need 37s ASAP! The aftermarket bumpers look great it's just a pain to move the license plate to the wheel, I wish they had one that mounted in the bumper area.

DV8 Has a great license plate mount.

Was for me. Stage 8 set on the softest setting on road, and have them set for three quarters off road. That’s a guess at the moment, I’ll adjust them next month when I’m in Baja.

I would suggest that if you’re really thinking of going this route, wait for Black Friday. I was able to save roughly $2K on the Stage 8 full system, with the electronics. My only bitch was after it was installed, I found out that the system was only compatible with an iPhone, and I had a Samsung Droid. Had to get a new phone, LOL.

Yeah, I have an IPhone already. My local Ultimate Truck Off-Road is a distributor for Icon, so I’m hoping they offer the same Black Friday discounts this year.

amazing looking bronco!

No regrets. Would not be my first choice for cross country trips, but good daily driver, fun off roader.

Thanks! I actually found the cheapest price through 4WD Parts, believe it or not! And trust me, I searched and hit up every site I could think of.

The Stage 8 is extremely nice!

A lifted Bronco on 37s is NOT supposed to handle like that. The harder you push it the more response you get from the suspension. Most importantly, I feel that Icon got the spring rates correct and it's tuned very well for the Bronco.

Since it is controlled by its computer, you control all the settings via Icon AP on your phone.

I have the Reservoirs set to 2 out of 10 so the ride is nice and soft. On the next page of the AP, at the same time I set the G-forces (Front Dive and Rear Squat) to 10. I also set the side to side to 10. The truck has minimal dive and squat and side to side sway.

There are also different drive modes. Normal, Off Road and Tow. Set each as you like and go back to as needed for driving condition.

I don't know of any other Bronco Suspension that compares?

I have another Stage 8 Suspension for my 2-Door that I pieced together and saved about 2K.

My plan is to have this installed in a year. I might purchase it earlier if/when it goes on sale, but pay for installation later.

Well I only have 5K miles on Bronco so unless I can sell my tires I'll just wait until they're worn out to swap out the 2" lift for a 4" and get bigger tires.

 

[Bronco Buster Wayne]

Yeah i think i'm 79 to the top without lights and my garage is 82"

I am going to 37's and Fuel rims! My question is do I stick with the 17" rims or go to 20"? I am going with a -12 offset. Is that enough? Please help, I am so confused!

 

[Mikey1287]

I think thats a personal choice. I prefer the old school look of a 17" wheel with the bigger sidewall.

Thanks, I was kind of thinking that but I sure do like the look of a 20!

Also, what are your thoughts on the offset? Going from +35 to -12 is close to 2". I don't want to have that stick out to be too noticeable but also being mindful of the uca's!?

 

[Mikey1287]

Sticking out a little does look great. I went with my factory wheels that are basically even with the fender flares....mainly to avoid chips from rocks. Lol.

Personally I would stay away from 20" wheels if you intend to actually wheel your your truck. $.02
