Anyone planning on 40s?
Add: I should add I don’t plan to go 40s but I want to watch someone else go for it.

My buddy has broken 3 axle shafts in his front F-250 Dana 60 running 40’s.I’ve seen guys break ring gears, pinion gears and axle tubes themselves running 40s on the Jeep forums.
Agreed - Choose the right tool for the job.I think a lot of us are buying the Bronco because it will drive better on road than a Jeep and in stock form is just as good off road.
If you are going to build a rock crawler that requires 40s you are simply better off with the solid axle Jeep.
Front diff drop?No way the half shafts and CVs are up to supporting the angles need to jack a Bronco up high enough to clear 40s. Might as well rip out the suspension and slap some solid axles in at both ends.
Which someone will do sooner or later.
Once you do that you lose some of the ground clearance you were trying to gain with the 40s.Front diff drop?
