I never needed a bump stop extension and I've worked the suspension hard.
What's your offset on wheel. This is all great information to get field validation on performance

Sasquatch take offs or buy Sasquatch suspension from dealer. That’s what I did.

Thanks for the feed back!! I came across one post with a none sasquatch badlands that reported he had wheel contact with the wheel wells. He was running 35" tires on (sasquatch OEM wheels). The shocks were in OEM state (no lift). This contact occured on a high speed jump (which would have been an extreme condition of compression.

@Tricky Dick Do you think a stock non SAS Badlands with the crash bars removed, 35s, no lift, and the factory 55mm offset wheels work without rubbing?

I think you'll have problems with +55 unless you get a 35x10.5 tire.

The wheel needs to be different offset or control arms will rub (that's my understanding). What I understand is stock non SAS badlands, crashbars removed, bumpstop extension to limit max compression, and at least +30 offset equals no isues

This whole thread has been exactly right. Except the 30mm offset being a total solution. That depends on the tire width (not the 35" height). If you have really wide tires, you might need wider wheels, and a little more offset.

For reference, I have 13.5" wide tires and I needed a little more offset. +12 on 9.5" wheel is working with no rub.

level lift and crash bars removed, of course.

Yes my +30 offset is with 12.5” wide tires on stock Sasquatch wheel (or an aftermarket of the same). Wider tire would need more offset

I started this thread with little knowledge. And thanks to the feedback from a lot of folks have an understanding now. I originally bougth eibach springs for a Sasquatch badlands. Changed my order to a none Sasquatch and got a build date. So now I started the research on can I use these EiBach springs with the none-SAS badlands shocks. Turns out the answer is yes. I would achieve the lift heights Eibach publishes less about 0.4” (because the perch is set that much lower). I came across people that replaced their badlands shocks with take off Sasquatch shocks. That is an expensive option that a perch collar and bump stop would have resulted in identical suspensions. We are all year to learn and help each other out

All good answers. And yes that is an option. I wanted a little more aggressive stance without compromising CV angles, steering rack. So I have settled on the couple inches that will be gained on the Eibach springs (especially since I am adding some weight with hidden winch). Gaining bead locking performance with the rebound pro wheels. Add performance tune to to get the 4 cylinder pushing a little harder to deal with the 35” tires. A lot of good feedback from this forum helped with some decisions. Figured out what to upgrade on the stereo to be better than the B&O system (glad I went high package). Now with all these parts I am collecting I just need the Bronco (lol). Scheduled for march build

Keep us posted on the springs. I dropped from WT to non sas badlands and am evaluating options. The Eibach springs have me interested.

Getting the Eibach coil over 2.0 installed. Would 35x11.5 be an issue with the +55? Thanks in advance!
