Looks like you've got a winch and a not light weight bumper on there too though...

True, but my front currently sits lower than my rear, and it was level with no bumper or winch installed

Thanks. Nope, all spacers including the preload spacers are installed in the correct locations.

Only other thing I can think of is did you lower the bronco to the ground and rebound the suspension with your body weight a few times before you tightened/torqued the upper control arms?

Yes sir. I made sure to torque all suspension components that have rubber bushings while loaded on the ground. Definitely strange. I'll probably just end up swapping to coilovers.

@Discount Tire - do you carry, or can you get, the Icon Vector 6? I don’t see it on your site.

We do not carry this particular model in stock, but we can certainly order it

Looks great. Why did you choose -offset?

I wanted a wider stance without using spacers and something close to oem designs. I'm super picky with off road wheels and these were the only ones I felt came close to what I was looking for. I would have preferred a 0 offset but these are only offered at -12 as their highest offset.

Sure…makes sense. When you find your unicorn wheel, nothing else will do. Mine is the Black Rhino Abram and luckily they offered 0 offset. Not my tires, but a good shot nonetheless

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but I am praying to you Tire Gods to please help me out!

I picked up my 2023 non sas Outer Banks last week and it's scheduled next week for a lift and new tires. I have never modified a vehicle and I know nothing about tires. I feel like I got a different answer from each of the places I went to discuss options.

My current order for next week is a 2" lift (ReadyLIFT) and 295/70R18 BFGoodrich KM3 tires.

I like the stock wheels, so I am keeping them. To be honest, I am going more for looks than performance (I know! Feel free to kill me with the eye rolls!). The only action she will see is driving up the mountain during ski season or at the family ranch, which is covered in sand.

Since this is primarily my everyday driver, I want to maintain the smooth, quite ride like factory tires, but get the beefier look I was going for. I really don't like how small the factory tires look in the wheel well and prefer a fuller look.

So, here are my questions...

Did I choose the wrong tire and lift?

I originally hoped to put 35's with the 2" lift, but everyone did say the only 35's that would fit on the factory wheels are the Nitto Trail Grappler, and no one really recommended them. Are these not a good fit for my purposes?

Is a 2" lift too much for 295/70R18 tires to get the fuller look of the wheel well? Should I do 1.5" instead?

Should I do a 285/75R18 with a 2" lift instead? (I looked at the Nitto Recon Grappler and Ridge Grappler in this size)

What are the tires, lifts, etc. that ya'll would recommend for the look/performance I'm going for?

Please Tire Gods, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts/advise/suggestions before I wind up with a very expensive ride I don't enjoy driving!

I think what you've ordered will look great.

My only quibble is that KM3 are mud terrain, which may be a little noisier on the road than an AT tire. I'm not certain that's true since I have no experience with KM3s, but that's generally the case with MT tires. They look good though!

I have a 2" lift with 295/70/18 tires (Recon Grapplers), and I think it looks right. Crash bars are removed, but I'm not sure you'd even need to do that if you're not pushing the truck off road.

FYI, this tire size is essentially the same diameter as the SAS Goodyears (34.3") so that would probably be advertised as a 35" tire.
