Stock Badlands - what is max tire size without lifting?

Not sure if this is even possible, just wondering what size tires I can get without doing any other modification such as lifting, etc.

Right now, 33" tires are standard, if I went to 34" or 35", would that require a lift or even look good with an 8" width, or would I want to go slightly wider to keep the proportions?

Looking for a 'blacked out wheel' look, not chrome.

If you guys could suggest a combo package of new wheels/tires for me, or point me somewhere, I'd be much appreciative.

I'm in Las Vegas, if any Bronco owners wants to me up, let me know. :D

Thanks for any help.

Yeah, I've looked but can't find a definitive answer regarding whether or not a lift would be required, if I lose articulation or if that even matters, etc.

But thanks for your response and attempt to help.

35’s will fit with no lift, remove crash bars.

If you plan on wheeling, be prepared to articulate into the fender flares, they are removable. The Badlands on 33’s does not have the same bump stops as a Sasquatch on 35’s does.

If you want to upgrade to 37’s you can do it with the lift/level kit. 2” front 1” rear.

Anything larger you are looking at making sure your geometry is correct and I failed math so there you go. Even with the lift/leave kit you need to make sure your geometry is correct for tire wear/drivetrain wear.

Hope that helps

Thanks, much appreciated. Aside from the bump stops, is all of the hardware the same between badlands non squatch and sasquatch? i.e. control arms, shocks, canter angles, etc.?

Would be cool if someone sold a 35 and/or 37 tire/wheel/any small parts needed combo package for those that want everything in one purchase to be able to make the change.

Yeah, I think I'm just going to enjoy my Badlands with the 'small' 33s on it and order a 2023 or 24 Bronco specced the way I like it... which... honestly, I think the only difference I'd make is to get the Sasquatch package... but given that I will be driving 99% on normal roads that would probably just decrease road quality ride and also decrease my mpg.

Maybe if they offered a hybrid I might be mildly interested if it is done right. Going to have to see the HPR and the new green before I decide though.

I'm totally loving my Badlands right now, so who knows :D
