Fitting 33” tires on Big Bend?

[Tphw2020]

Big Bend comes with 32... Can I put 33 on stock Big Bend without a lift?

Most likely yes

My guess would be yes, but would probably need to stay skinny. I'm looking at the Base 4 door and looking to swap on the BB tire/wheels and grill to the Base, if I can get a factory locker/lsd on the Base.

If not, it'll be a BB with 4.27 E-Locker and Auto with the 2.3 and Cactus Gray. I think I'll probably be okay with BB stock tire size.

This will be the first of the flood of the same question. Might be worth getting a sticky going with a model and tire size compatibility chart, once confirmed.

Mainly because 'Can I fit X tires on my Y vehicle' is the most asked question on every single 4x4 forum.

Wondering myself if 33's will fit a BD without modding anything

Maybe. You won’t know until someone gets one in their hands and tries it. I would agree that it is most likely...but I had a vehicle that came with 32s stock and 33s wouldn’t work without mods...so kinda hard to tell. Possibilities: 1) Might work fine (most probable) 2) Might work but need some special adjustments when getting alignment done (push wheel forward) to keep from running in turns 3) Might need mild lift like spacers or new springs.

Badlands doesn’t mention anything different about it’s suspension vs. Big Bend. Seems like an easy swap. ?

Pretty sure you could get 34s on any trim without any mods. They all have the same suspension, axles lengths, and fenders. only the ?badlands? And sasq have the Hoss suspension which has the lift and 35s. I have not seen confirmation of 35s and regular suspension working together. But it might be possible with a loss on suspension travel.

Yes, it does. It has a different suspension. “Unique Badlands Suspension“ in the comparison sheet. It is lifted more than standard with the HOSS suspension.

That I would highly, highly doubt. Very little chance you’re fitting 34s on a standard trim (Without Sasquatch) other than Badlands.

The different suspension could be just the electronic sway bar disconnect...
idk

It’s not. Different shocks and springs and lift.

Under day to day pavement cruising it might be ok. Assuming that you don't go full rebound on the shocks. Way down low you most likely won't be touching the sheet metal at all. But Would you want to risk that occasional, again around town, major impact to cause the wheel to go up into the wheel well/fender? I would guess 33 no worries on any trim but 35s yeah.

This is my goal as well. I may even ask the dealer to swap the 32s for 33s before I pick it up (assuming they will fit without issues)

I stand corrected. You’re right. It has the HOSS Bilstein shocks. So, that’s the little bit of lift they gave it for 33s.
