Introduction
Choosing the right lift height and tire size for a Ford Bronco II can be confusing, especially when real-world fitment often depends on more than just suspension height. Fender trimming, body lifts, wheel backspacing, suspension design, and even axle swaps all play a role in what tire sizes will actually fit and function.
This Ford Bronco II lift and tire size comparison guide provides real-world photo examples of Broncos running everything from stock suspension to solid axle swaps, with tire sizes ranging from factory dimensions up to 37-inch tires. Each example lists the suspension lift, body lift (if equipped), and tire size to give you a clear visual reference of what different setups look like in practice.
Whether you are planning a mild daily-driver build, a trail-ready weekend rig, or a fully built off-road Bronco II, this page is designed to help you compare lift heights and tire sizes side by side so you can make informed decisions before cutting fenders or ordering parts.
Note: The stock Ford Bronco II tire size is 205/75R15 (approximately 27.1 inches tall). Larger tires shown below may require suspension lifts, body lifts, fender trimming, aftermarket flares, or drivetrain modifications depending on the setup.
General Guideline
For years this has been the general guideline that people have followed when deciding how much lift is needed for a tire to fit, or what size tire they can fit with the lift they have. The examples that follow below this chart are probably a better representation.
