Classic truck V8s are passing peak at 3000rpm. The 2.3L , is just getting started at 3K. The torque curve on both the 2.3l and 2.7l are very flat compared to classic V8s too.

The Badlands will have Dealer Installed side steps available for the BL. The standard lower BL rails aren't welded on. You can change it as you please. Your first instinct was correct, go BL. Mod as needs to make perfect.

Arizona is full. Go to Mexico.

The BB was supposed to be the Everyman's model. Last I checked on an map, most Americans live somewhere that gets cold in the winter. Telling them to to spend an extra $10,000 on a OBX with LUX for a complete CW package, or FOAD sucks-to-be-poor, is retarded .

The more negative offset you have, from the centerline of the rim, the farther out it sticks. Positive offset, moves the rim inwards. Most factory wheels have a lot of positive offset. Including the Bronco.

You were right first time out. I got that backwards. Coffee time for me.

Ford seems to have fumbled on the upper price range trim/option packages. OTH, Jeep has told the poors, like me, to go buy used and mod it if you want a reliable offroad machine. The Sasquatch package on a Base kills the Rubicon value wise.

YES EDIT: got backwards that . DUH! 4x4ers usually use inch backspacing. You can change wheels and tires by just measuring how deep the original sits. As long as the new combo is the same, or less, you're GTG. Offsets come from the Euro weenies. That's why it's measured in metric.

The negative/backspace side.

Has the OP seen my " Go 37" tires!!" thread yet? ??

305/70R16 on 16x7 rims have been used by Jeepers for years. They just use 1 1/2" wheel spacers for clearance. Tread life will be shorter than usual,. Due to the tread being crowned more than optimal.

I own 2017 JK. I will not be replacing it with a JL for the following reasons; 1: Jeep altered the suspension geometry to make the JL ride softer over bumps on the street. IMHO, It appears that they went too far. Death wobble has been a huge problem for the JL. To the point where a class...

A word of warning. You will need to budget a ring and pinion set for that LSD too. The ring gear is welded on, not bolted on, with the open differentials. Only the locking differentials come with bolted on ring gears. If you get a Base, both ring gears will be welded on. BB or BD, the front...

Jeep got the 35"s to fit by raising the height of the fenders on the Rubicon. That's not an option for Ford. If Ford raised the Bronco's height more than absolutely necessary, it would effect the CAFE #s. Add a leveling kit to a Bronco, and the Sasquatch limiting stops can be removed.

Jeepers have run 315/75R16 (35") on the factory 16x7 rims, by using 1 1/2" wheel spacers. I'm tempted to do the same on a Base Bronco.

I think a lot of people are still in sticker shock and keep-the-new mode. Once a few step up to 37" or 40" and go to Bronco meets, others will quickly follow.

I used to have a Suzuki Tracker on 31" tires. Driving it was like having an adult Tonka toy. :love::ROFLMAO: I still miss it sometimes.

Plus you can step down to 33"s or 34"s and break even $$$ if you find that the 35"s really are too much.

Anyone one of the following kills MPG: 4X4 Big Tires Convertible Putting all three together is a recipe for low MPG. 37" vs 35" MPG won't be noticable compared to cruising topless.

Nope. El Cheapo Roach way: Add a 2" leveling kit to clear the fronts and add extra tall bump stops to the rear to stop the rubbing.
