Any drawback to installing Sasquatch wheels / tires on a Big Bend ?

[Dave]

From what I gather , these fit with the removal of the crash bars. Before I buy these, is there any drawback to installing these wheels & tires on my Big Bend ? Thank you in advanced !

Hey Dave, this guy did exactly what you are asking about and did a video. He has a second video that I just watched installing Sasquatch takeoff suspension as well. This video might answer your questions.

Do you have the open rear diff with 3.7 gearing?

 

[Dave]

I have a 3.73 gearing. Video looks like you have to remove the bumper ? Not as easy as I thought.

supposedly you can sneak the crash bars out without removing the bumper.

You don't need to remove the bumper.

The Goodyear tires will be your biggest draw back. They suck (according to those I know with them). Throw rocks like nobody's business and tread wear is apparently an issue too.

Nope they'll fit perfectly.

it would be better if you had 4.27 rear end instead of 3.73 . but it's doable

Removing the bumper is 6 bolts and super easy to do just a FYI

Gonna be a huge loss of power, or at least feel that way, with 3.73 gears.

This..........put on 33's and call it a day. Unfortunately, you don't have the gearing, you are sacrificing a lot for looks.

It drives fine with 35’s and 3.73.
