My 35"X12.5"X17" D2 are doing great after 5k miles! Verus my previous KO2s:
Pros: Easily 50% more wet traction (not scientific), picks up less gravel size stones, and sturdier.
Cons: Heavy (10-speed handles fine). Required significant weight to balance. Harsh ride unless you drop an additional...
Agreed. LCA is the way to go.
With the top hat properly torqued, I'm surprised you were able to rotate by hand at all. I had to compress spring and readjust the top hat to get everything to line up just right.
Anywho, good luck!
Thank all! Luckily I do have the factory alignment positions marked. Forgot to mark after post-lift alignment, but have a good idea where they were at. Ordering new hardware regardless. Not surprised if the shop struggled (or even attempted) to reach full torque.
LCA cam bolts are loose after alignment 4 months ago (evidence of uneven tire wear and occasional bumpy ride). Do I:
1. Replace the original OEM hardware and get new alignment at local tire shop. These are supposed to be "one time use" and originals were not perfect after removal.
2. Replace...
Bumping this thread. Badlands with procal and sport mode @26k miles. I may be crazy. Driving in 2WD at moderate speeds, it feels like my traction control is ALWAYS engaged (wonky rubber band acceleration feeling like it is fighting something), regardless of wheel spin or not. I can toggle...
Short answer: If you want to fit SAS size tires, buy +30mm wheels (or SAS Take-offs). The optional non-sas Badlands wheels from 21-23 are NOT the same offset as SAS (is +55 instead of +30).
Gonna save you some heart-ache. Pay attention to load rating when ordering tire. The ones you listed are only available in F2 range. You do NOT want F tires on a light Bronco.
Bad. You will have issues (rubbing) with 35s on non-sas wheels without adding a 1"+ spacer. That's why the sas offset is different. Run if the seller is telling you those are sas wheels.
