Interesting they noted the wheel/tire combo is actually 1/2" *shorter* so that with the 1 1/2 lift the net lift is a bout 1".1 1/2" lift and aftermarket tires
More options are continually being developed -- everybody wants *in* on the Bronco Sport! There will be failures, and some will rise above, so waiting is not a bad strategy. I'm a little wary of the "level lift" that barely lifts the back end, as you need full articulation back there as well, even thought no steering is involved. Some lift the rear only 3/4" and still they're mounting big tires all around, I worry about that. I'm thinking a 1" lift (someday, maybe) and either 245/65-17's or 245/70-17 -- that's it. It can get a little ridiculous far beyond that for this little SUV -- IMHO.Beast! Looking into a lift myself but want to let the market develop itself a little more first. Maybe in a year or so.
I never bought in on the level lift fixation. If I lift it will be for ground clearance exclusively and won't "short" myself at the rear when loaded or towing. An inch of body lift and a half inch of tire lift would do me fine and should be everyday drive-able with minimal bad habits.More options are continually being developed -- everybody wants *in* on the Bronco Sport!
