Similar. Both Bilstein ESCV shocks, but the Sasquatch Bilsteins have a longer bump stop to prevent the 315's from contacting the fenders, while the non Squatch Badlands gets around 3/8" longer travel from the "special" Bilstein shocks.
Heightdifference between BL and any Squatch is 0.47"...
No. Many of the components, including the all-important steering rack, are the same, but they're not just swapping out gears and wheels and tires. There is a difference in suspensionheight.
This is likely the route I am going to go as shipping on any SAS takeoffs I find is almost the cost of the takeoffs themselves. I’m hoping the 5100s smooth out some of the body roll in turns and jarring bumps at highway speeds that the stock Hitachis exhibit. I rode in an F150 with 5100s added...
A set of Bilstein 5100's will cost you less than $800, are ride height adjustable from 1" to something close to 3", and will greatly improve your on-road experience. After this weekend I should be able to report off-road performance.
I have mine set at 1" of lift and along with MT Baja Belted...
I have lifted a number of vehicles. This bronco has considerably less body roll than any of the others even though I have lifted it further. I have about 6 inches of lift total (only two inches of suspension). My truck has 5 inches of lift (all suspension). The truck has considerably more body...

I don't endorse the BB rack since I don't think you need all that; you can get the basic HD rack installed cheaper than the tricked out one he sells, and I don't see any benefits to what he's adding (if I'm thinking of the right one). The 74W rack gives you actual benefits (rigid body...
You can't go wrong with an ADS Suspension setup on these. Especially since we take the time to get you build specs and weights and make sure you get the right spring rates out of the box the first time.

thanks I was looking for this info for a NON sasquatch big bend but assume similar results? I am building mostly a street ride and looking for about 2" of clearance to run 35's. Don't want any stiff trail setups but a nice comfy road ride! not sure if spacers, collars, or shocks would be best...
There is some value to getting the track bar level. As the more level it is, the less side to side movement you will get when flexing the rear suspension. (especially extension) relocation kits are pretty cheap.
Let me see if I am understanding things correctly, as I am relatively suspension stupid when it comes to off-roading.
If I have a set of Eibach pros with threaded bodies, how does that differ from a perch collar lift on a set of stock Hitachi shocks (ignoring for a moment the actual ability to...
Thank you, I did end up installing using the standard Hellwig end links. Will double check positioning later today, but, (IIRC), it’s pretty close to being parallel to ground. Having said that, undecided if I’d recommend it or not as I‘m not feeling much improvement in stability with it. It’s...
Check th' Ford Website. The Badlands has HOSS 2 either way, with or without SAS.
With SAS for '24:
" HOSS 2.0 System with Bilstein PSDs, and high clearance ride height "
I have a 4-door Badlands, non-Sasquatch, high package soft top, equipped with the 2.7L engine, running on the factory wheels and tires. I appreciate the additional inch of travel in the suspension, especially with the 33" tires, so I haven't made any modifications. It's been incredible right out...
Is yours one of the early ones that cracks the frame mount welds? could be why its loose up there. I reused all that hardware w/no problems. @popo_patty did a thread on those...don't have the link ATM
Re: Bilstein vs aftermarket 2.5 coil overs on stock sasquatch (@Bmadda )
My thoughts on street driving b/c I haven't done enough off pavement miles.
The stock Sasquatch shocks were very dramatic. Small fast hits, like potholes, felt jarring and stiff while slower motions, like cornering and...
Dusty,
Thank you for your reply. I am having the ICON coil overs installed today, anxious to see the difference between the dirt logic I have on there now, the ICONs are adjustable which I think I will prefer.
The original question in this thread was answered by your answer:
" For what it's...
I’m with you… The Fox’s rode great STOCK, as that’s what they are tuned for. However, once I added a winch bumper, rock sliders, rear bumper/tire carrier, and skids my WT rode like an old Cadillac and sagged nearly 1”. It floated about in slow-mo and hit the bump stops on anything moderate. I...
