So I have a badlands on order with high and SAS. Was looking at what comes standard on the Badlands and what comes with the SAS package. You get hoss 2.0 front and rear lockers standard. What else is left on the SAS package besides the 35” tires? Is it worth the $4840, actually only $3145 if you subtract from build and price. Thinking of dropping it from my build and just buying the 35” tires later. Thoughts?

Depends which transmission you get.
  • Automatic
    • 4.70 axle ratio
    • HOSS 2.0 with a slight lift over standard HOSS 2.0
    • Wider fender flares
    • 35s
  • Manual
    • HOSS 2.0 with a slight lift over standard HOSS 2.0
    • Wider fender flares
    • 35s
My personal opinion?? The Sasquatch package was worth it for the automatic transmission Badlands prior to the March price increases. After those price increases... it's now a little iffy and you could go either way. (If it was my money I would skip it.)

It was never worth it on the manual transmission.

If you like the squatch stock wheels and don't plan on changing them and want 4.70 gearing then it is probably worth it I never planned on using stock wheels simply don't like any stock wheels anybody offers except maybe TRD beadlocks and 4.46 gears is more than enough even with 37" F-rated tires

I think I’ll stick with the SAS, may go with 37’s down the road at some point, besides I have enough junk on my list to add wheels and tires.

Simple answer - if you're going to leave it stock then go SAS. But if you are going to change anything wheel/tire/suspension related, go non-SAS. you can do a 1-2" lift plus wheels and tires for the same or less than SAS ;)

Thanks for the responses, if I don’t get scheduled in the next month I am going to drop the SAS.

I have similar build. Badlands SAS high pack. Confident everything works together as it should. No concerns for wheel rub, disgruntled employee doing shady install, or paying for labor costs to change stuff.

You seem really indecisive about what you want, especially having cancelled 2 orders already.
