Black Rhino has a significant number of options in +12. That's probably my favorite fitment for the bronco. If sticking with 35's, anything with +25 to +18 is great. I cringe when people want negative offset, specifically on the Bronco, because it isn't needed.
5100's would be going the wrong direction. Their digressive valving makes them ride firmer than most other options. As posted, I think the Eibach is probably the softest ride out there, but going on a non Squatch, you will have some lift even when set at the lowest ride heights.
A progressive...
Triangulation itself has no effect on anti squat or anti dive, etc. It’s simply whether the new mounts on the axle are higher or lower than the factory mounts.
For what it's worth, those front upper mounts are the beefiest in the entire system. They are welded to the frame rail and also to the cross beam above them. You could probably add a gusset to the mount going up to the cross beam if you felt you needed more.
A new LR-C coming out in 35x12.5R17 is the Kanati Overland RTX. Looks a bit like the stk Goodyears, but with a much more durable design. Worth checking out…
Looks like 13" from the floor and 12" to step in... And that's on a Squatch. That should do it for anyone needing help entering and exiting the Bronco.
Good post, thank you.
The KO3 is a more street oriented tire than the KO2... Also, the OP posted a LR-F tire, that's 3/4 ton truck stuff. No thank you.
If you like BFG's, the KO2 is still a great tire and will be around for quite a while.
I've been on the MT's (not the MT-02's) for a while now... My experience has been very good. No unusual wear or issues until my last serious off-road run. I tore 2 large lugs off the right front tire. Now, they have over 35,000 miles on them and around 4 years old.
Based on the changes...
A perch collar changes the preload on the spring, where a spacer lift does not. The additional preload causes the shock to move from it's intended range of operation to a slightly different operating range. Usually this means you gain up-travel from ride height and lose down-travel. I have...
The Wildpeak AT3W would outperform every Nitto A/T in virtually all conditions. It's simply a better all terrain tire than Nitto makes.
Falken says the AT4W is better than the AT3W.
C to E and E to C isn't as always as clear cut as it seems. It's a good guideline and in more cases than not it plays a part. I went from Cooper S/T Maxx E's to Wildpeak AT3W C's on my Frontier and it was a huge improvement it ride quality. But others don't have quite the difference in feel...
Same, huge fan of the Falkens... They do everything better than pretty much every other tire in their class.
But for a C rated 37, check out the Kanati Overland RTX in a 37. It's LR-C and has some potential, looks a lot like the Territory only larger tread voids...
Great trail, we make the run a couple times a year... One of our runs is usually a night run in the summer. We get home in Gilbert around 4am.
The long difficult climb (we call it Big Sluice) is not climbable by anything but buggy's now on the difficult line. Fortunately, the traffic has...
It’s A-ok to disagree. I work with a few of the geometry software tools and I can assure you that the lateral load on the axle doesn’t correlate to large side loads on the brackets. The forces are still primarily linear (push/pull), but there are some angular forces that exist. And they exist...
I'm hearing many of the sizes are going to be at least a year out... But any improvements over the AT3w will place it firmly as the class leader. It's only drawback is weight, but they absolutely perform.
