As the title mentions, I've had my Bronco for about a year and a half and I am finally looking to make my first upgrade (I'll withstand the jokes that come my way for waiting this long...). I'm looking to upgrade the stock tires (OBX; non-sas) to 35" ahead of the winter. I have been looking through a number of older posts on the site on best ways to do this, but with this being my first upgrade I wanted to see if those here might be able to steer me in the right direction in the case I'm making a mistake.
From what I've read, the best options to do this would involve the following:
As mentioned above, I'm seeking the advice of those on this site who have a lot of history/familiarity with this process, to steer me in the right direction or provide advice if I am overlooking anything critical.
Any help would be significantly appreciated!
From what I've read, the best options to do this would involve the following:
- Remove front crash bars in order to fit the 35" wheels. I'm overly cautious by nature so would likely replace them with the shorter crash bars included in the 4wp big tire set: https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/4-wheel-parts-big-tire-kit-62213/_/R-4WPBR-62213
- Purchase the larger tires (debating between 315/70/17 or 305/70/18)
- Potentially get the Ford performance tune-up kit to better handle the larger tires (my Bronco is only 2.3L)
- Withhold on a leveling/lift kit - seems it is unnecessary if I'm not looking to do any major off-roading activity
As mentioned above, I'm seeking the advice of those on this site who have a lot of history/familiarity with this process, to steer me in the right direction or provide advice if I am overlooking anything critical.
Any help would be significantly appreciated!
