You should be fine with that size little over 34" you will need to remove the crash bars - adding a level kit will help with clearance as well but not needed. it also depends on what you are going to do with it.

You'll probably be fine with the 3.73 gears. I've been seeing quite a few people put 35's on Base models and Big Bends, haven't seen any complaints yet. Maybe a tad slower on acceleration, but probably not so much where it'll be noticeable.

Yeah we drove a base Bigbend (our dealerships mannequin) it was on 35” and it had plenty of pep.

Oh god no! Why do people put 20" wheels on a Bronco? 😠

Good to hear plenty of pep though. My only concern of 3.73 gears (and back when I ordered a 2.7l), was nervous about towing a trailer with 2 quads. Besides I wanted a BaseSquatch anyways so it didn't matter. But for normal driving I would've expected it to be fine. Thanks for confirming that.

Agreed. These are not mine so…
But I have seen a few I like. If I didn’t have the Everglades wheels I’d get the Warn JACK HAMMERS.

Removing crash, i believe you can put 37 inch tires. However, it depends if SAS package, i believe there is no rubbing but so very close to rubbing with 37 inch. If 39 inch, you will need to put min 2 inch lift with a backspace on the axle

I figured out my spare tire issue the bottom rubber bumpers on the lift gate need to be replaced and a 325/70/17 will bolt on in replacement of the factory 255/75/17 tires the Sasquatch carrier is different so to do it correctly you should order a carrier that goes on a factory Sasquatch but I ordered just the smaller rubber bumpers

If you go with 317s, you should have 8.5” wheel width. Personally, I would not go larger than 295s on that factory 7.5” width rim and then I would prefer 8”. You would be perfectly ok with 7.5” width wheel on LT295 /70R 17 though.
