I’ve got a 2024 Bronco Raptor that I wheel pretty seriously. I’ve upgraded the Steering rods (FMI) and the steering rack (BroncBuster steering rack upgrade kit) and have lifted it with the Eibach Pro Bronco Raptor Lift. Also have completely armored the underside with Next Venture Motorsports. I’m running 12.50x37x17 Baja Boss M/T on Icon Rebound Pro rims (the ones with pins behind the bead).
However, I’m still pushing the limits on this rig and headed to some serious rock crawling ventures including the Rubicon. I trailer the bronco out and back so not concerned with Street Legality but I don’t want to end up destroying some other suspension part because I’ve pushed it to far.
What I’m now considering is putting true Bead Locks from KMC with more offset on the rig and either 39x13.5x17 KM3 tires or maybe even 40x13.50x17 Baja pro tires. Any thoughts or experience on whether the CV and outer axles can handle this? The only steering rack issues I’ve experienced on my current setup so far was some overheating on some hard core trails in the Palo Duro Canyon in Texas last summer. Once it cooled off it was fine.
I just need a bit more tire clearance and a bit more room for my fenders on canyons with extreme off camber and rocks/walls next to me. I’ve already ripped done drivers fenders off once.
Thanks in advance for any experience and input here.
