Yes you absolutely can get that level look and counteract the front rake. From the factory the Sasquatch has a slight rake, adding a heavy front bumper increases that rake. If you think it’s too soft, you could go with eibachs and a heavier spring, like somebody mentioned. Or you could go with the 6112s like you were looking at. Both of those will give you added lift height as well as adjustability to counteract the weight of that heavy front bumper.I am trying to follow all of this discussion with interest. However, I don't have much knowledge on suspensions, so need educated considering my interests.
I have a MY22 Badlands Sasquatch. I stayed with 35s with my new wheels and have no desire to go larger. I have felt that the front end is too soft since day 1. Last weekend I installed a JCR Offroad front bumper winch plate and winch which I think added maybe 100 - 110 lbs. to the front bumper. Maybe I am just being too critical, but it seems to look even more droopy up front than it did stock, which was already a bit lower.
This is a daily driver, but want it capable for weekend adventures here in Colorado......more rock crawl capable than desert racing.
My goal is to raise the front back up to more level.......and on a budget. Was thinking just replacing the front coilovers but leave the rear as stock Sasquatch components. Originally I was eyeing the Bilstein 6112 coilovers, but this thread has enlightened me a bit.
What would you all recommend to meet my objectives without the need to replace UCAs and that can work without overly stressing my CV axels.........basically can I get my front end back up by maybe 2" or 2.5" and have a reliable front suspension with just a set of new coilovers? What say you?
You could replace just the front coilovers if you are happy with the rear factory Bilsteins, however I’m of the belief that these coilovers are designed to work as a set of 4 for the best ride.
In short, the 6112s will have a firmer, sportier ride on the road where as the eibachs will have a softer ride. I personally prefer a more firm ride on the street but am not a particular fan of digressive valving (firm over small bumps, soft over big bumps) off-road so in my case I would just go straight to an adjustable coilover.
Like I mentioned earlier, you probably don’t need new UCAs if you plan to stay under 2.5”.
Shoot me a message and I’ll get you squared away with special pricing.
