What lift do you recommend for a base bronco to mount 315/70r17 tires on it? It won’t be taken off road a lot and I want to make sure the tires don’t rub.

We have really enjoyed our 4WP 2.5 diam monotube auto adjust 3 inch coilover lift over the last year since we purchased our 2021 Non-Squatch BL MT 4door 9/2021.

I believe Walker Evans Racing builds the coilovers for 4WP. Zero complaints and Zero rub on ours (37 x 12.5 on 17s) after removing crash bars to avoid rub in both forward and reverse lock to lock. Planning to add 4WP modified crash bars in future. However, sas models with 35s don't come with crash bars from the factory so not too worried about crash bars on 37s.

Also suggest adding upper control arms and rear track bar. We have both (4WP brand) which help balance out the lift especially at highway speeds (65-100mph) which we've tested here in the open desert. Smooth as pie.

If you change tire size remember to recalibrate your speedometer either by Forscan or installing a Hypertech odometer.

Hope this helps

I would also look at a front diff lowering kit to keep your cv joints from self destructing from being at to much angle if you go much more than a leveling lift. Independent front ends are a different animal. By the way what everybody calls crash bars are actually crash bar extensions.
