OK. So I measured in a couple places. At the lower control arms I'm little over 11 inches. At the cross member where the skid plate mounts I'm at 12 exactly but the front diff mount is only 11 1/2.
Thank you!
Another thought.
If you don't have advanced 4wd you have a CAD in the front axle. I kinda don't think it was available on a big bend.
If you have advanced 4wd you don't have a CAD, the front axle always turns... like a Ranger.
Ours is advanced with 4.46 gear and 32's and will get very close to 25mpg hwy.
The quest for more ground clearance is a worthy one, Broncos don't have a whole lot. Any way to gain clearance and wheel articulation at the same time would be really good as imo both areas need help.
The advanced 4wd has an auto setting right? I don't have the auto-4.
I'm sure this would of got close to 25 for true highway mileage as long as the speed was reasonable, with either the stock 32s or the 275 wide 32s I had on the ranger.
As of now.. I have mabey 100 miles on the 35"s.. it's been a little more stop and go than usual.. and it's getting 19mpg. Same as the ranger did. I bet it'll end up around 20 after another thousand or so, not too bad.
