Once you have moved the top away from your bronco you can lower it to approximately 2 feet off the floor. It will not lower the top all the way to the floor if that's what your asking.
I have the ridge grapplers in the same size as yours. They're awful in the snow and almost as bad in the rain, I would stick with the KO2s or a different 3 peak rated A/T.

I went from the base minivan tires to Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/70/17 LT Load Range C on Method 305s. Your tires are part of the suspension. When going off road you can air down to soften a lot of the stiffness that you are feeling. I drop mine down to 18 psi when on dirt/rock/gravel trails and...
I use the Eargasm earplugs both when the top is on and off at highway speeds. It's just too loud inside. It removes a lot of the wind noise, but you can still hear honks, sirens, motorcycles and other critical road noises. I have the loop earplugs too, but those aren't really that great for what...

There's a sort of "safety" on it that you have to manipulate before you can open it to drain. Not something I would worry about it opening by itself. The only time I've heard of it leaking all the oil out is some guy on yt hit a dead animal in a different car (much less ground clearance) and it...
Your windows without tint are already at 70% (you can see it on the little writing on the bottom left of your front windows "Transp. 70% min") so adding it to the front windows and windshield won't make it look any darker. Most people who get 50% tint say it doesn't even look tinted so with 70%...
Death Valley was the first place I went to a month after getting my Bronco. Never knew I was going to enjoy desert camping so much. I got to see everything on my list except for Racetrack Playa since it's not recommended to go solo. Was any of the park still closed due to flooding/washout?
