Hey everyone - so now that my Bronco is *finally* scheduled I need to get serious about figuring this stuff out. First order of business (my dealer is going to have this stuff ready to go when my Bronco arrives) is new wheels and tires.
I'm fairly set on the Black Rhino Warhogs and either 35" KO2s or Mickey Thompson Baja A/Ts.
Here's what I know: I'm going to need a leveling kit (dealer will install and warranty). I'm going to need to do something about the crash bars and will need to have the rear brake light over the spare raised.
That's about the limit though but here's what I'm not sure if I need: The offset on the Warthog is 0 so not sure if I'll need something to have it properly mount for the 5th wheel/spare. I don't know if I'm going to need some kind of tailgate reinforcement (these tires are *heavy* compared to even the stock Goodyears on the SAS - I think at least the Mickey Thompsons are @80lbs).
I'm not sure if the dealer can recalibrate the speedometer or if there's an easy way to do it otherwise.
I'm not sure what else I should be thinking about/asking. This is my first real offroad vehicle and the first I've ever had that I'm going to modify (more stuff coming later but roof racks/lights don't seem nearly as complex to me).
So any advice/info/help would be greatly appreciated!
