My 2 door Wildtrak on 37's

[STONEWALKER]

Excuse the incomplete build. This is my 23 Wildtrack. I am running 3"/2.25" RPG spring perch collars, 37" Yokohama Geolander M/T's and 17x9 Battle Born Wheels with a -13 offset. Front bumper is Lobo Off Road HNT with their crash bar deletes and skid plate. Rock sliders are DV8 FS-15. Also KBD fender flares and Hammer Built tailgate reinforcement. I still need to finish front bumper alignment and install Rigid lights, install rear Lobo HNT bumper, and RPG upper control arms. I think it looks good so far!

Most Excellent!!

Nice! Similar setup with RPG collars. I went 2.25 front and rear and it gave me about 1.75. I kept the rake but may end up going back to 3" in the front to delete it. I'm on the fence since I will likely install a heavier bumper in the rear anyway. I also am thinking of going with the RPG UCA's as well in addition to the RockJock rear track bar bracket to recenter the axel. Please report back on how it goes.

Thats a nice looking rig! Lift that front more. What side steps are those?

Have you noticed a difference in handling? I'm fine with a slightly stiffer ride, but I'm curious about whether this limits articulation or anything similar when offroading.

Well, I drove it for about 65-70 miles back and forth to work and finally aligned it today, LOL I'm still playing with tire pressures and am at 35 psi now. Biggest difference I have noticed is less dive when braking, which is completely fine with me! I hated how much the nose dipped when braking harder. The 10 mile trip home after the alignment and tire pressure setting were pretty normal feeling.

Thank you!! I'm installing the HNT rear bumper right now.

So. You trimmed back the fenders to make the poke look bigger? Not a fan of that but everything else looks nice.

No, I just replace the stock round flares. That should be obvious by the pictures...

My euphemism should be obvious by the language yet here we are.

DV8 Steps! Likely going with the DV8 bumper as well. I also have the IAG Hinges and Tailgate reinforcement.

looks great!! considering this route (same height) given the options at hand. Can I ask what your vehicle height is with the lift and 37s? I have a 7’ garage height I need to clear multiple times a day.

My parking garage at work also has 7' clearance. I fit fine. I just did a rough measurement and it looks like the Bronco is 6.5ish feet tall.

My garage at home is 80”-82” and it fits just fine with room to spare.

And the Lobo Off Road HNT rear bumper is on! The corners look soooo clean with the flush mount Oracle lights and this bumper! Note to others...if your hitch bolts point towards the rear you will need to turn them all around to clear this bumper! That tire sitting way back in the fenderwell is an optical illusion, LOL

Thank you for the feedback, I feel confident moving forward now.
