Badlands Non-SAS - Your Thoughts & Pics?

[SpartanRolex]

My biggest ordering struggle (like many others have) is SAS or Non-SAS, especially since I’ll already be getting the 33’s with my Badlands order. For those Badlands owners with Non-SAS have you found you’re satisfied with the Non-SAS? I’ve seen the Badlands SAS in person, but still haven’t seen a Badlands Non-SAS in person to gauge actual wheel/tire size.

I’d love to hear your thoughts with pics of your Non-SAS Badlands. Thanks in advance!

I love mine. Myself, it’s a daily driver that I will take off road a 5-10 times a year. So the MPG hit isn’t worth it. I also don’t care about showing off, never been into driving big lifted vehicles so I look cool (maybe because I’m not cool lol). I will say, Sas does look good on the 4 door, but 4 doors aren’t really Broncos

Me too. Very happy with my 33”. I am not crazy about the SAS 35”.

i have a non sas and i wouldnt have it any other way. Car is still massively high up and the tires are bigger than you could need.

I feel like ford oversold the sasquatch. I think all broncos other than the base should come with these 33's.

I test drove a sas before i got my bronco and it was too hard getting into the car (5 foot 7). Even with the non sas i still have to "slide" out a bit even with the IAG steps.

With sas and a 2 door it would be impossible for anybody under 6 feet to get into the back without massive problems

Sorry OP for going off topic, did you fender delete?

Sasquatch is well worth it. It drives great, not a big MPG hit, but better clearance and looks significantly better.

Is yours a badlands?

Yes. I love the look. I mainly got it at first because the fenders would get scratch-up.

Seems like it would beat the crap out of the side of the Bronco on dirt roads.

Quick answer, “ Yes”!

Decent picture of a non-sas badlands on the Left and my Sas Badlands on the Right. Really not a major difference but it is a small lift and bigger tires from the factory with a warranty so that's the benefit of adding the sasquatch pkg.

i have a badlands 4 door with 33s. I have also had a squatched 2 door outerbanks. The plan was to keep my badlands for about 6 months and when the 2 door came in i would sell the badlands and keep the 2 door. Well sure enough 6 months came, and i went and picked up the squatched 2 door. The ride back is about 40 miles. At the 20 mile mark i had already changed my mind. The 35s were loud. The ride was night and day difference. Now without a doubt, the squatched 2 door is a looker. But for a daily driver there was no comparison. Im also probably in the minority, but i love the soft top too. Its so easy to go back and forth between top on and topless.

Love my BL! 9,500 miles in and I still believe standard Badlands is the Goldilocks of Bronco's.

Completely happy with my 4 door standard Badlands. I went to the Off Rodeo in Moab last fall and chose the Badlands with 33s just to see how it would do. It handled everything the ones with Sas did and that is more than I will ever need. I actually like the look of the 33s rather than the wider flares of the Sas. I also was not a fan of the Sas wheels and tires.

This is great to hear. I’ve been going back and forth on the BL sas, Vs non sas. Pretty sure it’s going to be the non with the optional wheels (not a fan of the stock wheels) thanks for the input.
