Small details matter. Why do people care about having 9.6" of ground clearance vs. 10.7"? Ever been to Moab? Ever "almost scrape" or "almost hit" or "almost tip over"? Do you know what an approach angle is?
Anyway, I took measurements before having the winch installed, took measurements...

If it had better approach and departure angles, I'd consider it. But the amount of money I'd need to spend to prepare it for Moab would just be too much. Might consider the new 4Runners when they come out though.

"Overlanding" can be very tame, meaning a rear wheel drive sedan on a packed-down dirt road. But in general there are four things that improve a vehicle's capability offroad: tires, ground clearance, 4WD, and torque.

OK how long did you wait after you added the weight (winch, etc.) to the front-end before you took measurements and then installed the new springs?
My installer is saying to wait 4-6 weeks after installing the winch + mount before ordering and installing new springs.
if I had to start over, I wouldn't change much.
I wanted a vehicle that was very capable off-road but is also comfortable to drive on the road, which translates into FORD BRONCO. These were the selling points for me:
- SUV
- 35" tires
- 11.5" ground clearance
- front locker
- rear locker
