Putting 37s on my sas badlands questions?

[Kenlutzintero]

Hello all,
I am considering taking my bronco as soon as I pick it up and taking it to the shop to get 37s put on. I saw it with 35s and I am not sure why but they just looked small to me vs what I had envisioned. Has anyone done this to their sas bronco yet and if so what was needed to put 37s on?
Thanks all

Why yes it has been done.

To do it right? Scrap the Squatch suspension and go with a larger coilover setup to gain an extra inch at minimum. The 4.7 gearing will be okay, but consider upgrading to 5.13's when available.

Or, just slap them on there as-is, with or without a spacer lift, and don't ever leave the pavement.

Yeah thats what I figured. Any idea roughly what that would cost? About 5k ya think?

If you are going purely for the look I would recommend "True" 35's or maybe 36's you will add a lot of that beefy look just with chunkier tires. If you really want to run 37's and wheel it hard you will need to run longer upper control arms, and perhaps more if you want to improve wheel travel or articulation as others have noted.

Yeah really just going for looks. I go camping and to the snow occasionally but I am not a hardcore off roader. so I am just looking for the beefier look that I can occasionaly take to the snow.

Just look at Vaughn Gittens 2 door Bronco from the KOH demos with true 35's and RTR wheels. Makes a huge difference IMO

Get real 35’s and see how you like the look then, esp if you go a hair wider in addition to an extra .5-1 inch in diameter. SQ tires are I believe 34.4 or 34.2 which makes a big difference in the look. To do 37’s correctly it would be about 10k. You’d need to do control arms, shocks, springs and the lift pieces plus tires which aren’t cheap in 37” flavor.

That does make a huge difference. Maybe I will explore just doing true 35s

With the parts that are on the market today? Between 5 & 10k depending on how mechanically inclined you are and how much you can sell your take-offs for:

coilovers/upper control arms/rear track bar = $4000 + tax
labor = ???
tires = minimum of $1500 + mount and balance
eventual regear = $1000 - $1500?
sell Squatch coilovers = ($1000)?
see Squatch tires = ($800)?
