2” Lift in the Build and Price

[ZackDanger]

Badlands has no lift...
The one they offer will likely be what goes on the Squatch...

Well, it has a lift relative to the Base -> OB

So could you use a wrangler 2inch lift kit for a bronco?

I think it's a 10,000 dollar fine and up to 5 years in prison.

That depends upon how good you are at welding the entire Wrangler suspension and axles to a stripped Bronco frame.

Yes you can pn#6493299 ford performance part for brongler.

Looking forward to a Ford engineered 2" lift & 37" BFG

whats the point then? I guess this is what the warthog is going to be then? its going to be much more travel with longer A arms

Sometimes you don't particularly need the extra travel, just the extra ground clearance. Driving on the beach, for instance. Driving my buddy's stock Tacoma before and after a lift resulted in a much better experience due to the added ground clearance alone. He did go for a real-deal lift, but spacers would have been fine in his case since you don't exactly articulate much at the beach, you just bottom-out the front crossmember a lot.

So my thoughts...

1 I don’t see the 2” and Sas combo being a thing. Most lists, when done right, replace parts to ensure the angles and geometry are correct.

2 what are the differences between the SAS, 2”, and say the Warthog? Seems to be application depending... the SAS is probably the “all around” type lift, where the 2” might be better for those wanting to rock crawl type of driving.

3 any talk of a long travel? Something like what the Raptor/Warthog have? Seems to be a better fit for the WT... IMHO

Thoughts? I know I’d prefer a Baja style build personally. More along the line of off-roading I want to do.

So is the B&P broke still that reflects the 4.7 gearing of no up charge on the BL? Or do you need sas to get it, or is it $1800.00?

Might look at some of the Ranger lifts as they are same platform. I am sure some differences but suspect they will be quick to adapt

It's broken. To get 4.7:1 gears you either need a manual Badlands or any Sasquatch.

Just to be clear for those not familiar with lifts, the lift does not increase clearance, it's the ability to add taller tires that increases clearance.

On my Tacoma, the lift provided better shocks and springs than stock, so in addition to taller tires, I have a much better ride as well.

You'd be right if you were only talking about solid axles.

If you lift an IFS, you gain clearance.

No, your clearance is the same, unless your front end was dragging the ground as you still have a solid rear axle. Yes, you may or may not, depending on if the lift has a diff drop, increase the area under the center of the front IFS, but overall clearance is still the same. LCAs are still where they were and rear axle is still where it was.

Yes, and no. Clearances aren't all the same.. You are correct that the two lowest points (diffs) wont see much if any increased clearance, which is important in some cases.

Adding a lift, though, will increase the clearance of everything else (frame, body, etc)... giving you that much more room before bottoming out in the soft stuff, impacting important parts on the hard stuff, or simply getting high-centered.
