yes, it can pop on 35s stock for sure. However, stock Wranglers with 32s are having death shimmy. For some buyers having 35s from the factory with no "oh its your tires fault" bs will be appealing. Heck, alot of Wrangler buyers can weld their steering back on with nothing but a 9v battery and a stick of gum, but there is an even larger market that would love to do some adventuring and not have all the Fiat quality issues.Do you own a JL? Your profile says JK. If not, then you don't know what you're talking about. It's not a myth. I could have cleared 35s on the wife's JLUR with no mods, provided I picked the proper offset.
IFS with 35s is nice, alot of Toyota guys are turning their heads... if you have a Rubicon, loaded up and have gotten rid of all the mopar steering parts, axles, and suspension you are probably not needing to look at Bronco (thats not likely to reach the point you got to)
Funny part on the Bronco was people used to blast the 70s version's steering, and I remember reading a 4wheel magazine stating the coil springs on the Bronco were why the steering sucked and coil springs should only be on pogo sticks... lol driving a Wrangler, I think he was on to something.
My solid axle full size trucks had leaf springs up front and drive like a dream compared to the wrangler.
In any event, Root the Bronco on, I would love to see an American 4x4 vs this Italian/French Wrangler, its time for competition, its good for all. Its pretty clear Wrangler is going to maintain alot of its places in a very wide market its grown into, but there is alot of room.
