what size 35s are you thinking about putting on. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to be putting on 35x12.5R15 and I don't think I'll have any issues from what I read and asked other people about. The only thing they did say was that it may hit the bottom edge of the fender. hope that helps

OK, perhaps I am just loony, or my ex spiked my coffee with drugs but 35s would only work unmodified IF you had real skinny 35s and drove only in a straight line....... I ran a 4 inch lift on my 79 with 35x15.50-15LT Swamper TSL SX's. They would rub slightly when the truck was flexing hard and in a turn. Other than that I had no issues with 4 inches and 35s. The 15.5 in SXs have a 13.1 inch tread width which is pretty wide for a 35 so you should have no problems with anything that size or less. JC

I ran 35x12.50x 15 on my 77 F-150 with only a 2 inch body lift which is identical to the bronco in the front end..THe only rubbing I had was when I turned sharp.They would rub the radus arm that was it.I have bottemed it out with the tires turned and never touched teh fender with it.

35-14.50 boggers on my 78 with 4" and only rub when flexing in a turn. I've seen the remedy for this which is sawzall and removing about 4" of sheet metal from the fender but I can't bring myself to do it. Fender usually curls in and is easy to pull back out.
