2" Factory Lift - Tire and Wheel change at delivery?

[Corsair]

I apologize if this has been asked before but, Is the factory 2" lift body or suspension?

If that’s what’s being billed as the “high lift suspension” option then I’d assume suspension.

Depends on the dealer, depends on the swap. Many people change wheels and tires at the dealership before taking possession, so just ask your dealer what they can do. Some give you credit for wheels and tires taken off and others don't, sell you the new tires at cost, etc.

I might keep the steelies with the LT 32's and have them ford do the 2 inch lift which I believe will be one of the options

Man I hope it is not a body lift. Also, if the 2" lift is actually a dealer add on and not factory, would that mean after market would be a better choice. It's one thing to build it with a lift, its another to pull off parts and/or add after the fact. If the dealer can do it, so can everyone else.

The "High Clearance Suspension" comes with the Sasquatch package. It must be some kind of lift. But apparently there is a factory 2" lift separate of that lift that allows 37" tires to be used. The 2 Door mule that's been all around Michigan and is seen in a lot of Ford's media has the 2" lift and 37's.

The "High Clearance Suspension" comes with the Sasquatch package.

That’s speculation on your part. According to these, I’d say there’s a good chance your speculation is incorrect. Notice, the features of the Sasquatch Package do not include the “high suspension lift.” If it did, it’d be logical to conclude that they’d be sure to include that info.

Directly from the brochure:

Sasquatch™ Package 17" black-painted aluminum beadlock-capable wheels with 35" LT315/70R17 BSW Mud-Terrain tires, electronic-locking front and rear axles, 4.7 Final Drive Ratio, high-clearance suspension, position-sensitive Bilstein™ shock absorbers, and high-clearance fender flares

Also, only the WildTrak and FE come with the high clearance suspension which both come with the Sasquatch package.

The 2" Lift is supposed to be one of the Factory Accessories that can be installed by the dealer.

Yeah... everything I have read about the SAS defined it as including High Clearance Suspension. Looks like you are looking at the Badlands that has it's own "special" suspension and that is why it may differ.

For any model other than Badlands (and prob FE) SAS includes tires, lockers, upgraded front axle, some sort of lift, Gear Ratio, and black and wider "high clearance" fender flairs

I would be willing to entertain this idea if the dealers don’t Price gouge the part and install. If they do I’ll just buy aftermarket and save the $

When I got my F150, they basically added wheels and tires to my deal at a separate cost and sent me to the local 4 wheel parts for install included. They threw original stocks in the bed. No rebate or credit offered.

I hope we can get a 2" lift added to the Squatch package........that extra 2" is all I really need over the Squatch lift .....gives those 35"s room to work.......

 

[Hulkbuster19]

but another thought....will the lift ......if from ford.....give it more or less articulation ???........

I would bet a lot that a dealer installed Ford Performance lift will happen...but whether it’s available by the time Bronco delivers is the big question. I hope so, so I can do an immediate swap prior to delivery, but I’m doubtful.
