No, the 2.7 more than makes up for it.
From what I’ve gathered it seems the 4.46s can effectively run 33s - 35s and the 4.7 can effectively run 35s - 37s.

👆There, I fixed it for you. 😉

Also, I'm pretty sure all BL trims come with both front and rear lockers.
At least my non-SAS BL did.
Interesting, in that case, I'm not sure I would do it over again. I'd probably spend the cash on wheels / tires / and a small, nice lift with new shocks.

Those Everglades wheels look sick. Nice looking setup 👍

Didn't read the whole thread, but even if I was going to change the suspension / wheels / tires, I would still get the SAS for the lockers ;)

My non-sas BL just rolled off the line this week. My question is regarding offset. I was planning to put the RTR’s on my factory 33s…everything points to the 0 offset for those. If I want to put 35s down the road, will I have an issue with the 0 offset? Or should I do the +30 out the gate?
You have it backward. The non-Sas recommendation is +30, the SAS recommendation is 0. If you want to rock 35's later you can with the +30's but you will need to pull the crash bars. I've not seen a non-Sas unit running the 0 offsets, maybe someone here can post a photo. Just realize the RTR's are 9" wide compared to the factory's 8.5" as well.


Mine is +30 on stock Badlands KO's with stock Badlands flares. The RTR's are so freaking light compared to factory. My tire shop allowed me to hang out while they did the swap.

Be sure to order the RTR splined lug nuts, they are required.

I can't stand the Sas wheels and tires, so I would def skip it on the Badlands.

Posted a bit above this, but I'm aware of that now. In hindsight, I don't think I'd do the SAS again, rather put the money to eibach coilovers and wheels / tires of my own choosing ;)

I've had a reservation since July 2020 and when the emails about canceling orders came through I dropped the LUX and SAS packages. Have a build date of 4/11 so I'm happy with my decision. I am spending the extra money on Icon Rebound Pro and Toyo RT 315x70rx17. I also have the Icon Pro winch bumper and the rear Icon Pro bumper on order.

This is what it looks like so far🤣
