Looks good. I know my 37s are the limit for fitting but I know all 37s are different diameter plus I have negative 18 offset wheels. If the steps are the only thing holding you back, I know you can take off the end cap and cut back the step and then reinstall the end cap to gain some extra room. I was going to do that but then found out they didn't rub. Plus, I raised my factory steps to cover the pinch weld so they're a little more tucked. Hope this helps.I have a Zone 3" lift on my squatch with Fuel 0 offset and Falken 37 x 12.5's and I think I can go to 38 x 13.5. I think that the only thing that might get in the way is the side steps? Any thoughts?

Nice build. I think I might be getting some Black Rhinos too, once I need new tires, although they don't seem to sell exactly what I want (glaciers).

Thanks! I loved the look of the BRs but didn't really want -18 offset but once I added the Air Design flares they were perfect. I'll have to Google the glaciers!

it would seem that 'the wife's car" had many upgrade needs that you unselfishly provided for her....like you, my dogs bronco just didn't make poochy happy till i added 37s for my furry buddy..!!..
That's a stunning Bronco, Wayne! Thanks for sharing!I have a Zone 3" lift on my squatch with Fuel 0 offset and Falken 37 x 12.5's and I think I can go to 38 x 13.5. I think that the only thing that might get in the way is the side steps? Any thoughts?
We love that color, Mark! Thanks for sharing!

Looks like you figured it out and did it up right.The lift needed for 37x12.50s was my first concern and I asked several on this forum for advice. I like the BDS lift. The upper control arms are beefy, BDS included tie rod reinforcements, and the warranty is rock solid. My installer said the tire would have rubbed on the fender liner in the rear and on the front crash bar bracket had I not gotten the max tire kit. I will say the plastic inserts weren't strong enough to pull the wheel liner back to the new bracket so we used bolts into nutserts. Pics of the lift, the kit, and what came off the Bronco below. I installed an adjustable track bar but it ended up being the exact length as factory when the axle was positioned correctly so not needed.
Offset was also a question but after several people sent me pics of 0 offset with Sas flares I knew the -18 would probably work best with the Air Design flares and they did. You can see the flush poke in the pics below. The offset did push the spare off the tailgate so the relocation bracket was not needed. It doesn't touch the bumper and I wanted it tucked into the Bronco. The bumpers I bought are perfect length without cutting.
Looks like Go Rhino is still having issue with certain shipments of running boards but they are working with me on it. I may just leave the factory boards on though. People told me they wouldn't work with 37s but I slide them back and they do not rub at all. Quake trail sight deletes are an easy install that are plug & play however Oracle grill letter lights are not. Also, the Garmin Mini with the Dongar is a 2-minute install that works anytime the power is on.
Is this the adaptor I'd be looking for?
