Here is a new offering from Alphaequipt that allows for 245/65-series tires.
Ford Bronco Sport Looks Tough On Biggest Off-Road Tires That Will Fit
Off road fans currently have their attention focused on the new Ford Bronco. The reborn SUV doesn't go on sale until the summer, but if you really...
Ford show cars show not be confused with what you can do or buy. If you follow the big Bronco Ford has showed many concepts and then said "not available".
Dealer near me has a BS Badlands, I test drove it last week. Overall not bad, but the they had tire psi at 45 so ride quality was uncertain. There was some steering wander as others have mentioned.

Chris, Thank you so much for taking time to post to the forum and giving us insight into your awesome project lift. It is outstanding to hear the lift allowed you to retain the O.E. movement and comfort levels. I have a few questions please.

Chris, it was a great segment, very informative to actually hear direct from you, the company that did the project. It is so encouraging to hear you say "We build vehicles you can drive" as so often we hear "forget about ride quality" if you lift the vehicle.
On the Bronco Sport SEMA Q&A Live Stream Session yesterday they discussed the MAD industries modded Bronco Sport. This was a similar mod like the Sport Badlands Trail Rig Concept and the Off-Roadeo Adventure Patrol concept.
