MY22 Bronco OBX currently sitting with all stock suspension and stock wheels/tires. Going to a KO2 and 17" wheel within the next week. The truck will not NEED a lift kit seeing as I am only moving to a lt275/70r17. Its only a 32.2" tire but much more aggressive. Since I'm not moving to a 35"+ tire the lift kit isn't needed. The truck will see maybe 1% off off-road dirt in its lifetime, and that will likely be either dirt roads or just random dumb "I can drive through that" scenarios. The lift will be purely for aesthetics, and the option to go up to 35s if I get a wild hair and want to go bigger. Will the RC 2" lift kit be sufficient for what I'm trying to do or will the parts wear out faster like everyone on other forums say they will? Do I need to worry about geometry when moving to the lift kit, or does the crazy geometry speak only come in when the truck is taken on trails and flexed. Any insight is welcome. Thanks

I think 2” is borderline for camber correction. I don’t know what parts are going to wear more (U-joints and tie rods seem fine a 2”). Most everyone is doing 2” without replacing upper A arms and get away with it. find a good alinement shop. going 3”-4” is a whole different thing...

I guess it depends on the look you are going for. My dealership’s mannequin was a big bend with a level kit and 35x12.5x20s and it looked pretty good to me. And the ride was great and felt like there was adequate power with the stock gearing.
