They will fit with the 1.5".
Might rub
Bump stops
Plenty of info on here, search think.
35, SAS
37, 2 inch taller (1 inch less clearance)
40, 3 inch taller (1.5 inch less clearance)
3" lift+1.5" body.
You'd be 4.5" taller and offset whatever the extra is.
You might have some small issues to figure out, but doable yes.

I actually have 1st hand experience with doing this...40s were easy 2" lift in front with top hat spacers, redrilled rear shocks mount 2" higher for 2" lift. mild trimming on rear, Major trimming on front.

Now Im running HUGE 41x14.50r17 IROCs, more extensive work was need to clear fenders in full compression, I took 2" off the entire radius on the fronts and 1" on rear fenders. Crash bars cut off flush with frame and front body mount trimmed back too, also radiator support was hacked back and upper fender brace chopped off. the result is very rewarding.

Appears Interco likes the look too and put my truck on their website

I've been on 40s for the past year without any issues so far. I upgraded the tie rod right away, but that's all and I've been on a number of trails. I only have a 2" hyperco spring and I don't rub except a little bit here and there. I assume the Raptor sits up higher to begin with, but for what it's worth.

I would have guessed some aftermarket supplier has gotten around to offering a (relatively) easy and inexpensive (when compared) bracket lift kit for the 6g Bronco for those who want big tires and look but are not going to rock craw it in any real way such as the OP...does this not exist?

Allow me to address this please.... I would have guessed some aftermarket supplier has gotten around to offering a (relatively) easy and inexpensive (when compared) bracket lift kit for the 6g Bronco for those who want big tires and look. I believe we "may" have an answer here.

To be serious thou: 37's can be run by some on SAS rims and suspension. This assumes the toughest terrain the bronco will see is the Starbucks drive-thru. Perch collars are the next step up and are good for (Springsteen quote here "the fire roads to the interstate"). Springs and coil overs are next and if I had enough suspension knowledge to intelligently comment on that setup, I wouldn't be stuck in a quagmire of a built Badlands or a Raptor.

There are some videos of a person in Texas who is running 40's if you google it. I would imagine it's expensive and a fair amount of work.

BRaptor is not a comparable because it is running a mid arm suspension from the factory. Very different dimensionally. Stock it is designed to run a 37 and then you lifted that by 2.5 inches and that is questioned because we do not know if the 2.5 was at shock length or was it after the arms are taken into account.

I am at 6.5 inches and I was rubbing occasionally and had to do some trimming (only a slight amount but...)

Nope. Three-inch lift won't do it by itself. You'll need some "trimming". (not to mention some other stuff). The highest I would go on stock SAS would be 37s (and that will need some finagling).

No finagling for 37’s they fit great.

So much fake news. 37’s on stock sas are good for everything other than major rock climbing with ridiculous flex. And mall crawling coffee shoes etc…

Agree, with a 2.5 to 3 inch 37s should fit fine. You have picture proof. I have seen it many times. It works well.

Yeah this is stock sas no additional lift

Now that is interesting because I would absolutely think at stock you would rub and full compression... Maybe not as long as you did the high clearance kit....

Nothing other than slapping the tires on. Have had zero issues on road and trails.

All the forums said you couldn’t fit 35x12.5 on a stock gmc at4x too. I’ve been driving with them for a year now trimming or and mods zero issues. I don’t think all rigs are built the same but I stopped believing what I read regarding fitment and just measured and went for it.

Got any more photos? That looks better than I thought it would!
