IMHO the Everglades wheels are the best OEM wheel. Base model, 7 speed, Everglades wheels, Badlands suspension (4 door), Crawltek bumpers

Do you really notice any difference once you put the 4dr Badlands suspension on a 2dr with a 2.3L?

Don't notice much difference in the way it rides. Maybe a slight bit stiffer but a non-factor. Gained 3" in the front and 2.5" in the rear. Sitting level all four corners at 40" from the ground to lip of the flare and 1" higher than a stock SAS. I'm running 35 BFG KO2's for reference. The Badlands 4 door suspension also came off a truck with the 2.7. Gave me the exact result I wanted without a lift or leveling kit.

Thank you!

We've been debating a rooftop tent vs trailer vs ground tent. Only thing we know for sure after a couple days ownership and a roadtrip to the Smoky Mountains for the Bronco Stampede is that it doesn't have much cargo room! My wife is all about taking a road trip from Montana to Moab through the mountains etc. Some kind of roof rack and extra storage is going to be needed. Love it so much more than the 4dr I traded in though!

Definitely!

How do you like the tire size? Do they fit in the well ok?

It really makes the bronco look proper. I think the 0 offset looks so much better than stock +30. I haven't noticed any drivability changes either and I know these are much heavier than the stock ones. Not sure if that's just because I have the V6.

No issues with rubbing at full lock. Haven't tried full lock while articulating or something like that but I haven't heard of people having issues with these same specs.

Beautiful looking truck!

What is the sheen on the Everglade wheels? Is it closer to a gloss or flat finish? I have not seen them in person and different photos are playing tricks on my eyes!

Thanks

Potato pic post lift kit.

Still deciding on what wheels to go with.

What lift kit did you use?

I don't understand in what universe the wheels poking out of a car/truck makes it look "proper"?

That said though, your Bronco looks cool AF, even without an actual paintjob. My only concern would be rubbing during articulation?

What? The wheels do not stick out past the fenders. The wheel is way inside and the tire tread is completely under the flares with only the sidewall poking out slightly. This is 0 offset.....not -15 or whatever which looks horrendous in my opinion. This sits flush with the fenders whereas the standard +30 offset looks like it's skipping leg day.

I went with this setup because people who ran it on a badlands (which sits higher than normal trims) didn't have any rubbing issues with articulation.

Did you do the install of that winch? I saw some videos, but wasn't big on relocating and cutting things.

Yes. Plasma cutter made short work of the frame horns.

It's driving style. Some people in my urban area practically floor it going light to light. They would never be happy with my 2.3L manual. I have little hope of racing them on pavement and I don't care, it's not at all why I bought the Bronco.

If having a heavy foot and enjoying being first out of the stoplight gate and that sort of thing, I'd recommend V6 with requisite auto.

Like I say it's all in the perception. Yes the 2.7 has more spunk than the 2.3 but the 2.3 is by no means a dog either as so many on here say. There are also people on this forum who think the 2.7 is a guttless wonder again perseption. You should drive a 2.7 f150 regular cab if you want spunk. By the the way those urban stoplight racers are usually the first to complain about gas prices and are upset when their vehicle dies a premature death from abuse. If a quick nimble vehicle is what someones looking for a 4800 pound off roader probably shouldn't be the first choice.
