Its not an issue on the Badlands which is the model being discussed. On a Badlands with MT , gearing is 4.7 Don't need to regear. On a Badlands without MT, it's 4.46, which can comfortably run 35s, have no issues on the street and the Auto TQ converter will make this work
Will 4.46 "work" with proper 35's, yes It will work, but it's not optimal and for $1500 bucks the 4.7 gearing is worth it, to me. Also, perhaps you missed that 35s will be the smallest tire I run. Should I jump to 37s...then 4.7 will be even more of a necessity.
Of course 4.7 comes with the MT, I never said it didn't.
By your own admission you state the MT comes with 4.7 and doesn't need a re gear which implies the Auto could use it 4.7 with 35s. I run heavy for multi day off roading trips and will also be on heavy tires.

Put the money factor aside, it's not a concern.

For 35s 4.46 are fine for 90% of the people here, in fact probably better, since most will not be extreme off-roaders so the street rpms will be important to them.
I however, would prefer the 4.7s from the factory.

I did not miss what was not stated in this post
Gearing. Getting the 2.7 auto. It's $1500.00 more for the Sasquatch on the BL. Gearing would be more than that post sale. A lot of guys think gearing is not a major item to consider.
Run what ever you like.
Maybe you should look at my signature and my showcase.

One thing to keep in mind about swapping out sasquatch flares for standard flares: the front and rear bumper on sasquatch also have longer parts to match the wider flares. You'll probably have to swap those out too or it will look strange.

Great.. so what the fuck are we carrying on about?
Sounds like we are on the same page.
I do agree it doesn't seem like a very high percentage of folks here are looking to push their Bronco..I am not one of those guys. This will not not be my DD and will be for off road trips only. And yes, I wheel to very remote areas, solo. Been doing so for many years.

We are part of the same choir
LOL

But I was answering the statement made, without giving my opinion of what I prefer.

I have unfortunately not seen a bronco in person yet but in some photos the squatch flares look perfectly fine IMO. There are definitely some unflattering photos though. I’m just gonna wait to see them in person and then make a decision.

Anyone here with experience know if doing so will make a lot of dents in your paint (due to small rocks) on the side of the car?
With the fenders on there are some considerable splash patterns. With smaller or no fenders then I would expect a lot of paint rash.

You'll know when I ask a question, it will be much different than my statement(s).

I just upgraded to Nitto Recon Grapplers and FE wheels, does anyone know the part number for those rear bumper pieces?

I have a set of standards if someone needs them, maybe do a trade?
