Yes, but from my understanding the lift has nothing to do with the rubbing from what I read from another thread.
From what I have learned from Eric as soon as you step out side of 235/70/17 dimensions with stock rims that is the problem zone . I have changed nothing to my suspension and have stayed with in the specs that ford has stated and Eric has agreed with that you can fit 30 inch and no more , I went with Goodyear wrangler at 30 inch exactly with not a issue , now I must say that I am no rock climber but that was never my goal. I do know that myself and a few others on this forum have kept to the same formula with out issues, I have 1/2 inch clearance front and back of the front tires , is it close hell yes , one thing that I have learned from Eric’s detailed build is that one thing is constant and that is the front to back dimensions they remain constant, if you are having rub problems look at the exact dimensions and diameter of the tires example good year 30. (Not 30. Something. ). My spin .
Do you have a lift kit with that size tire ?
You lose half your power turning that large of a tire. 235s should be max with a small motor. Just for looks.
For sure, the tires are heavier. But no perceptible performance impact on the car. I would not do this with the 3 cylinder engine.
With those tires you will now have the power of a 3 cyl. Enjoy
I’m telling you it simply is not true. You’re clearly talking about something you have not experienced. I have two Badlands. The one with this lift and heavier tires runs as effortlessly as the stock Badlands.
Lol ok.
What a strange person you are. You have an assumption not based on experience or actually knowing. I actually know what I’m talking about. Yeah - lol ok.
Son I have owned just about every car on the planet. If you can’t figure out that putting much heavier tires on a little 250 hp car is not going to affect your 0 to 60 times you better go back to school. looks good anyway. Have a good one
the stock Pirelli 225/65/17 tires that came on the Badlands weigh 31 pounds. These larger BFG tires weigh 49 pounds. I think you greatly misunderstand the impact of adding 72 pounds of weight to the car. It will take a stop watch to measure the fractions of a second impact it has because I am telling you it is imperceptible from a driving experience. It does not feel slower. It sure as heck is still closer to a stock Badlands acceleration than it is a Big Bend. I’ll acknowledge it’s probably slower. My point is not that there is no impact, but just that the impact is far less than you think it is.
No biggie enjoy
Finally, we are in agreement. Correct - the weight difference is truly no biggie. It’s kind of like having a 4th grader ride in the backseat of the Bronco Sport. Having such a passenger is not going to noticeably impact the vehicle’s performance.
