This will of course be affected by the actual diameter of the tires but I have been suggesting this for some time, as the best way to measure lift, when the tires remain the same or total lift when changing the wheels and tires, at the same time. 22 Badlands w/Flatout Coil-overs 2" lift...

Unless something has changed with the JCR's, in the last year (?), I will point out, that they were not designed for the Badlands. They have been fitted by at least 2 people but I believe it requires cutting a factory skid plate, not an easy job and a number of holes must be drilled into the...

My favorite tire reviewer www.tyrereviews.com is back testing agressive A/T tires and #2 and #5 may surprise some people! Don't forget you can go to his web site and adjust the tire test weighting, to best fit your use case. Choose your weapons carefully.

Thank you and everyone else who replied. I went Brain dead and forgot about Rock Auto and have had previous experience with Akebono ceramics, I decided to go with their ACT1665 ProACT Ceramic. It was also the A.I. suggestion when I searched. TR was out of them when I searched earlier. I...

Getting my tires rotated and my mechanic calls me over to look at my rear brake pads. A 21k miles I'm down to about 3mm, so it's time. Rotors not needed, I just want good quality Ceramic pads, for the rear, of my Badlands. I don't tow or need extra stoping power but I would like to eliminate...

Thanks for this post. I decided to get my RDU gear oil, on my 22 Badlands changed but made a mistake (?) and only ordered a quart, thinking it only took .5 quarts, so I told my mechanic to save the old oil, just in case. After draining the old oil, the new oil was coming out the fill hole...

I highly recommend looking at TR test reviews when looking for tires, though I do prefer some of the testing done by www.tyrereviews.com esespecially any actual off-road testing.

Did you also take a measurement before you changed the tires, to see what the difference in ride height was. The reason I ask is, from other people‘s measurements, the stock Sasquatch tires are larger in diameter than they should be for their. 235/65/17 size and have been measured, by others at...

Diameter and tread width and wheel offset will all make a difference, in wether or not a tire will rub. A 30" tire, like your Firestone AT2's, has a fairly narrow tread, even for that somewhat rare size and the AT2's did real good in www.tyrereviews.com testing of moderate Off Road tires a...

Got a pop up add, from The Tire Rack. Price reduced on the new Goodyear Territory RT, now just $164.36 and if you get more than $599 and have a TR or Discount Tire credit card you get another 5% off. A good opportunity to buy a matching spare for a 2025 SAS or a new set for pre 25 models...

Not exactly that we have a lot of choices but a different take. I will add that through my 25+ year amateur motor sport life, I and many of my friends found wider wheels tend to improve on pavement handling, though at the cost of a stiffer ride.

Enjoy but odd translation. Still a good video.

Pretty much what I expected Ford had done, a cheater tire, so to speak, to keep the ground clearance and gas mileage up, while maintaining the same ground clearance and while still adding the additional underbody protection. You did a fantastic job with this attention to detail, leaving no...

Your new tires are XL load rated, which can make them stiffer but some other factors may also contribute to that, like wider wheels, which will increase the effective spring rate of the tire's sidewalls. You increased your tire width by 20mm, if you increased your wheel width by 1" (25.4mm)...
