37” Tire Upgrade Question

[That Bronco Guy]

So you’re saying they added negative caster to your alignment set-up to try and clear the tires from rubbing the rear side of the wheel well?

No, not quite... They moved the lower control arms/wheels forward in the factory adjustment slots and then locked the lowers in that position. After that, caster/camber was set using the adjustable ICON upper control arms.


The purpose wasn’t to use negative caster to gain clearance. It was to physically move the tire forward in the wheel opening while still maintaining proper positive caster/alignment.

I've been wheeling a long long time.
What's the 37" thing about, as a practicality?
I think some newbs may be being mislead and possibly understanding 37" as a magical advantage instead of an esoteric fashion choice, with them Probably/possibly not being able to understand the very very limited real life application value.

What percentage has to do wth 'pretty'¿
I do well on my 31.5 tires...

Wait… you can wheel on 31.5s? Dammit. I have made some very expensive mistakes.

I started out wheeling on 27s back in the 1980s. Not very capable in the rough stuff, but got me through a lot of interesting dirt roads and even a few mild jeep trails.

Now I have 35s and can easily conquer any speed bump or maybe even a curb.

40's would be better I agree.
