The physical suspension components on the BL, WT, FE, & Sasquatch are the same. The only difference for anything with 35”s is the larger bump stops that limit up-travel .5” or so.

So was the mention of "high clearance suspension" merely indicative of BL, WT, and FE?
I don’t know what the marketing dept is calling high-clearance. They could be pointing out that anything with the upgraded Bilsteins has a lift compared to the stock suspension. They could be referencing the bump stops limiting up-travel.
BL, WT, FE, & Sasquatch have the same suspension setup except for the regular bump stops on the BL.

fluid expands as it heats up. this increases fluid volume for cooler temperatures. the piston in that side allows expansion when the shaft takes up volume inside the shock body.

thx... now i feel a lot less dumb. still dumb, but less dumb, if you know what i mean lol
Am in the exact same boat! Love the 33” setup but don’t want to have to upgrade to BL. Question I have is what all would be required other than tires, suspension, and lift kit to be on par or better than BL HOSS based setup. Sounds like there is additional gearing as well. Is it just best to go BL and get it all from the factory or are there good, if not better, options to go aftermarket?

They can take more abuse for longer while keeping you less bouncy.

The question is, is it worth the jump up to Badlands from BD, or would an aftermarket install with suspension upgrade in the future work just as well?

Thanks for the original post. I finally decided I am going Badlands/Sasquatich. Settled on Sasquatch after revisiting the approach, breakover, and departure angles as well as the ground clearance. I also want the Bilstein suspension to handle the off road stuff and not feel like I might break the car like I feel with my Subaru.
Looks like a relatively standard bypass style shock and they just added a cup and spring on either end of the shock for additional help. You have the hole that allows fluid to bleed into the reservoir as the shock compresses. Once the shock piston moves past that bleed hole, the shock will have significantly more resistance. Couple that with the cup and spring and I imagine that is what they are calling the “End Stop Control Valve”. Looks like the cup and spring are on the other end of the shock as well and will help with control on both the compression and rebound sides, but if I’m remembering correctly on how they are mounted (upside down), the compression side is where they have the most bottom our resistance.
