So I've seen a lot of people talk about removing crash bars to fit bigger tires and the sas supposedly doesn't even have them but I haven't seen really anyone answer or ask this question.
Is it safe?
I mean, I'd love to throw a 2in leveling kid on my BL 4d with 35s when I get it but it's a well known fact from everything I've seen that doing so will require removing the crash bars. My biggest concern with that is 1 how will it effect the ride and potential tipping hazard with those removed (no idea what each bar weighs and if it's significant enough to keep the bronco down) and 2 how effective are they as a safety device if the sasquatch doesn't even come with them? As someone who intends to use this as his daily driver and for deep woods backpacking/camping trips and the like I want to know my family will be safe if I remove those. Does anyone have any thoughts/answers?
EDIT: thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts and gave input. I think I'll definitely be looking at one of the aftermarket kits for crash bars that accommodate the larger tires. A lot of good points made on both sides that were for and against them. I appreciate everyone's input hope you all have a great night be safe out there in whatever you chose to do.
