30" stock
Depends on specific tire and width, but..
31 is safe
32 is risky
Over 32 means no spare underneath, rubbing at stock height, and stranded if on bumps
32s on a D1 isn't exactly plug and play either though
For a dedicated off roader solid axles are obviously the way to go. But 95% of all new vehicles are IFS because of handling and ride quality.
That said, some of the rock bouncer guys are experimenting with IFS and having really good results!
I'm no expert, and I'm sure that many on this board have significantly more experience than myself, but I can tell you that I've been impressed by the capability of the D2 with ETC and I've also found its limits.
If you have at least 3 wheels on the ground with some sort of traction, ETC + CDL will pull you through. If you find yourself in a 2-wheel type scenario where you're cross-axled with minimal traction on one front and one rear wheel, you'll need to rely on momentum or you'll be stuck. I enjoy some challenging rocky trails, and find myself in this situation more than I'd like to admit, which is why I chose to spring for lockers.
I'd rather be able to crawl out through in a controlled manner than need to rely on speed to bounce me through.
Not necessarily. Land Rover didn't intend people running a tire larger than 29", so if it fails you are still safe. Idiots like me are putting 35s underneath and causing trouble. Hence why we designed the SYA kit.
If you can get me 5 people to commit to buying one, Ill have 5 sets made on my next run
You can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. In other words, you're full of shit.
Sounds good. Once I have 5 commitments, I Will get a price on development and a special production run. Once all 5 pay the agreed amount, they will be made.
