Badlands Suspension - mount 35's with no issues?

[dangle]

Hey guys,

I am hoping to place an order at my ford dealership, whenever they state the banks are open for new customers and I had a tech question about this trim. The info on Ford.com says this comes with 2.0 suspension, which is the Saq suspension on other trims. Does that mean I can put 35"s on this model with no issues? It seems silly to add the Saq option for $4000. Unless I don't understand what else it would benefit.

Thanks!

Squatch on an auto BL will also add 4.7gearing, wider fender flares, beadlock capable wheels, ~35" tires and a half inch in suspension height. Don't think I missed anything.

You can fit 35's on a stock BL but it will appear a bit stuffed and may rub a bit as the stock BL coilovers are not the exact same as Squatch and are about 1/2" shorter.

Here is a post that goes through some of this:

You can throw 35s on there but the suspension is a tad different.

Assuming you keep a reasonable wheel offset, yes they'll fit and not even rub.

No you would need to remove crash bars, which isn't that hard. I would go for the Sasquatch since it includes better gearing, better transfer case, better off road angles, and high clearance fender flares. So no, there Is a lot of benefit. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for helping clear this up!

if going with a manual then I would skip the Sasquatch.

I have a manual BD and it already has 4.70 gears and the suspension is almost identical (0.3" shorter in the front and 0.5" shorter in the back). I threw sas wheels/tires on last night and only had to remove the crash bars.....looks awesome and I may or may not add sas flares for around $400.....saves a few thousand and you get an extra set of badland stock wheels that you can keep or sell. If going with an automatic then it depends on if you will be happy with the less aggressive gearing
