Did anyone buy Sasquatch for everything BUT the 35s and move down to 33s?

I’m not exactlyyyyyy sure what one would gain from this (possibly better efficiency, less weight, better road manners, etc. at the expense of some clearance?), but was just curious if anyone has done this or considered doing it.

Some had mentioned doing this, but I haven't seen it posted yet, not that I've looked.
The thought was 33's will be the ideal street/trail tire for daily drivers .... or use the 35's for trail duty with 33's on standard (non-bead lock) aftermarket wheels for daily driving.

Is this even an option? Sasquatch comes with 35’s so would one need to purchase aftermarket tires on a new Bronco and take the loss? Or are you asking if anyone bought a standard badlands? I opted for the 2.7 badlands so close to it except for gearing which I plan to upgrade at a future date.

The former. Just like people buy aftermarket wheels and tires to go bigger, I’m wondering if anyone is considering or has done it to go smaller, still having benefit from choosing Sasquatch for all the other bits.

Got it. I plan on keeping 33’s until I find myself in a situation where I would of been better off with 35’s and then I’ll buy 37’s

Im planning on 305/70 (34x12.2)
Nittos to get just a tad more gap and a 1” level

I think 35s look too stuffed. But the Nittos run a little bit bigger than the factory Sasquatch tires anyway.
Also mines a two door so it’ll look more proportioned
And really only lose about a half inch overall diameter which is nothing. I like them a little bit fatter and lower pro file, just slightly.

I'm pretty sure it would look like your Bronco missed leg day.

I've already decided if I went with the Sasquatch package I'd switch to a 35x11.5x17 in place of the 315s.
I thought the difference between Badlands and BadSquatch lift was less than .5"?
I don't think it would be noticeable.
Hell, surprisingly, having seen a BL and BadSquatch parked next to each other, there was very little difference in stance or overall presence between the two despite the tire size and lift. They were both beefy looking.

Here's your 35 x 11.5 - 17 on a base Base NO LIFT.
Method 703 17 x 8.5 .... +35 offset

Yet people are LOSING it over the 32.6" Badlands "33" tire and the 32.1" everything else tire (exc. Base).
LOL
Ford could save us a lot money just by putting a rugged 32.1" AT on the Big Bends and OBX! LOL

If you do this be sure to recalibrate your speedometer/odometer else your odometer will show more miles than you have actually gone (big negative).

I'll also suggest the 285/75-17 Load Range C
Toyo Open Country AT3 ... 33.9"
I'm enjoying the ride of the C Load Range on my 35 x 11.5 C rated.
I cannot personally confirm an E rated tire will be harsh riding, but occasionally you read that.

First Toyo's , only 1k on them, but they run out very smoothly , which is great for a rugged 35.
They tend to get loud over 70 mph.
