Before & After (stock 2dr Base vs. 3.5” lift + 37’s). What a difference!

[UNBROKN]

I had to lift mine tho 4" and 37's

what lift did you go with and how is the ride compared to stock?
Looking to go up some but I don't want to lose much ride quality. Thanks!

Two different Base trim, manual transmission, 2 door Broncos nose to nose.

Red is obviously stock

Black one added 3.5” lift & 37” Kenda Klever on Raceline wheels.

Love it! Putting 37's on my SAS with 3" lift on Fuel wheels with 0 offset tomorrow!!

I put a Zone 3" spacer on my SAS and ride is nearly unchanged!

As a bone stock Base owner, I agree that it doesn't look great in photos, especially next to one that's been lifted. However, in person, I think it looks much better. I had wheels and tires ready to change out on my base, but have held off because it looks so much better in person. To each his own though...

In my opinion, anywhere from 285/70R17 (Badlands tire) to 35" is the sweet spot, in terms of performance and looks combo. Plus I had loads of fun over the years off-roading in Jeeps with 31" to 33" tires. So unless Bronco has horrible clearance underneath, I shouldn't need massive tires.

I imagine a base auto trans Bronco having 3.73 diff and 37" tires, would be spending more time in the lower highway trans gears, rather than top gear? I mean top gear highway cruising rpm would be awfully low?

That's a heck of a before and after!

Got overtaken by a base 2dr antimatter blue and it looked great the pictures don't do em justice.

Yep I love my base but I couldn't stand the wheels it came with..

Just a FYI our Broncos on 35”are similar to a jeep on 31” as far as ground clearance goes. A lot of low hanging parts underneath.

Kept factory rake? Or did you level it?

First pic on 37's, it almost looks like the rake is super exaggerated! But, maybe just angle of the shot.

I am happy with my 2021 Base Manual Bronco. After some consideration I am keeping the Base 30" with 16" steelies. It is closest thing to the OG Bronco and a ridiculous price hack at its original $30,555 sticker price:
