I attended the Smoky Mountain Bronco Stampede last week and saw alot of different options. A pretty common theme was the true-er to size 37x12.5. I saw no evidence of those hitting as reported earlier in this thread and most of the owners loved them- of course, I didn't see them off road...
ADD prices are high IMHO… but the designs are slim and don’t detract from the lines on the Bronco.
I will never understand why Ford put that ugly, cheap, weak bumper on it when they had a chance to match the front bumper
Sweet- thanks!
so who screwed up the tire order and got you 4/5 of the same brand?
I ran the coopers on a 3/4t truck in 35”. They were good tires, but the weight of a diesel killed the wear

MOAR
PICS
seriously though- pic from front & back to show poke? They look like they will hit on flex, but looks
cool.
do you notice any difference in the brands? Is one taller than the other, One wider, are they true to size?
I have been looking for someone with practical experience on a Raptor with stock beadlock capable wheels and the only comments I have seen is that been some of the 37x12.5x17 hit the upper control arms on stock wheels...
BORA makes some great spacers though...
I have A Classic Bronco with similar Baja style bumper- the 6G bumper guys are stuck on LED lightbars, hard angles and square tubes- not a lot of ‘old school’ out there.
Check out JCR- their Vanguard (winch bumper) comes with a similar style Baja bar and their Crusader is a non-winch, also with...
No- the Braptor has an independent front end like all Broncos.
I believe the reference is the front axle is equivalent to a Dana 44, similar to the standard issue WT rear axle. If im not mistaken though- the WT and Braptor have the same front axle, with longer axle shafts.
I bought a Raptor- and I haven't regretted it for a minute. That said- not everyone could or would want to spend that much.
The engine is by far superior, rear axle is bigger and the suspension is alot better. The seats are nicer and mine are heated. The Raptor mode in mine is used alot, but...
That is a crack. That appears to be the axle housing from the differential and you can see the engine sitting on the top bolt. I believe that is an aluminum housing and is a weak point without the added stress...
This is the problem with the weight of that engine and trans sitting on things...
this is a nice rig and clearly rgwinn is proud of his new ride- why kick him in the balls about price? If he was happy with the deal he got, great for him!
if you want to pile on the Braptor pricing, there is a couple of threads about that already…
rgwinn- welcome to the Braptor family!! I...
