Velocity Blue Bronco Raptor on 40's and 3" RPG lift collars

Somebody's Bronco's been taking legs and arms days a little too seriously. But hey, nobody's talking about the ugly fenders, so win! lol

How much articulation was lost? At full compression do the tires rub?

I love the look, just not sure if anything is gained for off road. Especially if tires rub, or articulation is lost.

Wow..Gee.. another "I have bigger tires than you picture"....

It looks awesome. Are you going to answer any questions?
What brand tires?
Are those Bronco Bead lock wheels? Who makes the blue bead lock rim?
Do you have any pictures of the lift installation?

I was shocked it wasn't until the second page that someone asked about rub. There's gotta be some rub, right?

Good for straight line trails.

Good for straight line flat trails.

I fixed that for you

Good for straight line flat trails with no pot holes.

Cool but on a raptor i actually think a 37/8 is the sweet spot and adding an inch or so lift to is the perfect look. 40s are a little too tractor looking for me

Tires look too big to me. Especially in comparison to the fenders and size/volume of the wheel wells.

This will certainly make your truck a lot slower. I suppose it will improve approach/departure/break over angles and thus improve capability in some extreme crawling environments.

Overall, not sure what 40s really buy you, unless you just love the looks.

Heck maybe I'm just wrong/crazy - curious to hear feedback from folks who have run both 37s and 40s on the same rig in many different terrains.

Lastly, why is there a pattern here of vehicle pic threads being posted by someone who is not the vehicle owner...?

I'm running 40s on my 2dr FE , with the new 5.38 gears and the FP tune, the truck feels FASTER now than with my 37s, 4.7 and no tune.
I was surprised at the performance. These little engines produce ALOT of low end torque. The brakes do seem somewhat softer now tho.
