Base/BB/OB Suspension - Real world review?

[WhoaNelly]

It just occurred to me (and hopefully many others here) that I haven't really come across any YT or written reviews about the overall performance of the base suspension in the lower trims. Nothing substantial other than short on-road impressions anyway. Pretty much every bronco seen at off-rodeo and other events is at least a Badlands or a SAS-equipped model.

I know a couple of folks here have taken delivery of their base BB/OB models and taken them on light trails, but is there anything more out there? I'm waiting on a 2-door non-sas BB and I'd like to know how far off it is in terms of overall capability compared to the BL or SAS. Has anyone come across anything?

I would read the C/D BD 2 door review as that has the same suspension as well.

Thanks Sir! This is definitely more than I've seen or read before, but still wished it was a little more substantial. Definitely a data point though.

I'd be quite OK with that if I didn't have a lingering back issue.

You think those guys got a high VA disability rating for back and neck injury

I hope so!

I feel your pain, it sucks! Sorry I don’t have anything beneficial to add, I just figured I’d try to make you laugh. I’m sure the suspension is just fine though.
