Pro and Con: How to accomplish a 2" lift?
1 - 16 of 16 Posts
Stock clearance should be good for that. But if you go one tire size over, which should be OK, you would get 8.8" clearance. That is more than most stock trucks and SUVs. If you go rock climbing, then you would want more, but I don't think the Solterra would be the best for that, even with a lift.

Rivian truck > Solterra for the less than manicured fire roads, imo...
No one will truly know the aftermarket potential until they've driven a Solterra off the lot into their driveway...

I've got a F-150 Lightning on order... The Rivian would cost what the F-150 and the Solterra costs combined.
I had a Chevy Avalanche, and used it to go to our cabin, which was off a very rough FSR. I later replaced it with a 2018 Crosstrek, which did much better on the rough roads, and even used it for some serious off-roading, which I know my Avalanche would not have handled. Check out this if you are interested. I am hoping the Solterra would be similar. It is the Subaru AWD drive that makes all the difference.
The biggest issue with the Crosstrek was approach and departure angles, not clearance.

Rivian has max 15" clearance
You are limited by the wheel well and suspension travel. Generally, only about 1" diameter (ie 1/2" clearance) can be increased without rubbing at the suspension and turning range extremes.
I use this site for checking diff tires to see if they would fit.

Use our wheel offset calculator to visualize the new tire position when changing wheel and tire sizes. Convert wheel offset and backspacing to calculate the correct setup for your vehicle.

How come you're looking to get out of the Bronco? Are you keen on switching to electric or is there something wrong with the Bronco?
