So, we wanted a Sasquatch Bronco, but the Markups were too steep so we found a regular Black Diamond for a good price with the intentions of putting lift and tires on it. After getting it home and shopping for a lift/tires, wife lets me know she really wants 37's. So I'm on that journey.

Luckily we found a wheel we really liked, the Fuel Beast.

We Found really good shop (Thanks GoBig Truck Performance in Ventura CA) to install the following:
Wheels - Fuel Beast 17x9 +1 Offset
Tires - Toyo RT Trail 37x12.5x17 E Rated
Lift - ICON IR Coilovers w/ Tubular UCAs

In preparation for the new 37s I did the following:
Hammer Built Tailgate Reinforcement
Removed the Crash Bars
Cut 2cm off of the factory rock rails

I am very happy with the ICON suspension feeling. You can feel the road really well, but its not jittery. It's not super soft and springy like the stock ride, definitely feels supported around the corners, in breaking, and over bumps.

With the 37's it just rolls over bumps and the dirt road feels like the street.

I'm running at 37PSI, and don't see any reason to air down unless I'm doing recreational off-roading.

You suck at taking pictures...;)

Nice upgrade, looking good. My wife wouldn't know 37's from the ignition key...
Yeah, I know I suck at photography - more a candid low effort attempt kinda guy.. Will attempt a glamor shot session maybe later, packing up for a beach day right now...

Haven't had a chance for the after measurements, my driveway isn't flat, so I have to take it to a parking lot or something.
