Damn 35s are big

I find the motorcycle jack works well for putting the tires back on.

IMHO, I think the 35's look perfect on the 4 door but a little large on the 2 door. My Bronco will spend 80% of its time on the interstate. My plan was a 2 door (non squatch) BL but it now prices out higher than the WT. Leaning towards the WT. I dont mind the height of the 35's but may swap out to a thinner tire. Guess I have a couple months to decide...

Good idea, what thinner tire would you go to? I was going to swap out to KO2 35s as soon as I get my sas badlands

Is there a video or set of photos anywhere comparing a badlands to a badlands w/Sasquatch? This thread has me thinking maybe I don’t need the Sasquatch package.

Maybe you don't. Which is good because that means more Sasquatch kits for everyone else.

I can’t wait for that I got a flat tire and I couldn’t change it because it was too heavy posts. Lol

AAA

For the 4dr, I couldn't decide between the two either. Like @FloridaGal I went and saw 33s and 35s on Jeeps to help get an idea of the proportions.

Then I went to Mammoth and saw 35s on the 4dr BL. 35s without a doubt!!

Firstly, 35s on a jeep and a bronco look different. The bronco body is fuller so the proportions are more "accepting" of 35s.

About the ride, I talked to one of the guys at Mammoth who does test driving for Ford, and he said there isn't a huge difference between 33s and 35s for highway manners.

But for a 2dr, I would go with 33s. Or would I? ?

Depending on the vehicle/lift, 35's are perfect...

Do you piss while shitting? If so do you shit standing up?

Now you see?! This is exactly the type of quality B6G content I can get behind!

35x12.5

...saw them and said, hmm, maybe Sasquatch is a little overkill...almost looked cartoonish in person. Really put things in perspective after gushing over bronco photos. While they do look great for off roading, it just seemed like they have no business on paved roads

If you go with bigger tires than you need, it will affect on-road performance. It is not only a matter of correcting gearing, the moment of inertia increases with the square of the diameter and proportionally to the mass of the tire. Looking at the weight and diameter of only ‘33’s vs 32’s shows a significant increase, much less ‘35’s. Even geared equivalently the larger tires will cost braking and some combination of acceleration and mileage. As an engineer, with my intended use, 32’s will get me where I want to go, give better performance on-road and outside of highway driving with the same axle ratios, deliver better fuel economy.

If you need or desire to optimize off-road performance the bigger tires will be better, acceleration and braking don’t matter as much there.

That was my first thought but they joined in November haha

That might actually be better.

@Girryn has been sitting, lurking, watching everything unfold the last 4 weeks, and *this* is what finally pushed them over the edge.

I have been wondering about the fenders as well with 35's. If I get the non sasquatch, how wide of a Tire Wheel combo could I safely go up to without chunking rocks at cars and getting myself tickets left and right. Do you guys think it would look funny with the base fender flares on 35's?

Why? Just drive up to Discount Tire and they will likely do it for free if you ask... even if you didn't buy from them. Also, you don't have to buy the dealership's tire warranty on your new vehicle - you can go straight to DT and buy it from them.

LOL, I wore out my welcome at the nearest Discount Tire on the "Just buy the warranty" pitch.

Went there just to get a price on something, the winter tires were brand new at that time. They told me about the warranty/rotations etc they could sell me , it was cheap, I bought it. Specifically asked about my summer/winter set up...he said no problem.

Since I run summer & winter sets, I got my tires rotated twice a year for over 4 years for something like $50, plus resetting the TPMS each time because the Subarus do not self learn. I was totally going to buy my tires from there when I next needed them.

Anywhere else would charge me $50+/- each time for all that! LOL

Dumbasses, on my last obvious rotation before needing two sets of tires, they treated me like an asshole. Lost the sale on two sets of tires after all that damn near free work because they wanted to argue that the Subaru was a self learner and did not need the reset.
I drove to the next nearest Discount Tire, with the TPMS light on, and had them do the reset and haven't been back to a Discount Tire since.

35’s too big on a off road vehicle? Ha ha you guys are funny car drivers. The spare tire is only a 33” in this pic.

For comparison, here are 35s and 33s side by side on a Bronco:

saw your post and went straight to YouTube to see if exactly what a motorcycle jack could do and now it will be my next purchase. Thank you.

I find the motorcycle jack works well for putting the tires back on.

I went to get some tires at Americas tire (same thing as Discount tire) and they torqued the nuts the wrong way and stripped the studs. They wouldn't take responsibility for it and said I had to go some where else to get it fixed. Never again.
