I was thinking that but if you had a jeep and got a spacer lift it would come with bump stops that limit it to.. and if you wanted to spend less than 2600 for wheels, tires, lift, shocks especially coilover shocks.. you would certainly have to go with a spacer lift.. so it's relatively the same as a rubicon with spacer lift and 35's .. which i ran for sometime.. and the vehicle was totally capable i never found myself totally upset that i didn't have that extra half inch of UPWARDS wheel travel.. and then i looked at what lifts for raptors cost and pooped my pants, hopefully its more expensive because the raptor is heavier, but if its really that lifts cost more for IFS .. then i am fine with the spacer lift.. because i am just not in a place to spend 8-10k on a lift wheel and tires on a 58k vehicleThat was a very informative read, but it leaves me wanting much more information. The key thing I noted is that the Badland's VCI will out perform the Rubicon's within 90% of the Rubicon's articulation. I interpret that to mean that the Sasquatch suspension VCI will be better within ~85%, since the bump stops will limit the travel. Still dang good. The base suspension (Base, BB, BD, OB, non-Sasquatch) will compare even less favorably, which (although I couldn't care less about how my Bronco will compare to a Wrangler) leaves me wondering if the base suspension will be good enough for backcountry roads I regularly travel.
And that, has me second guessing my freakin order! Do I change my order to a BL, or stick with a BD and my plan to upgrade the suspension later on? We need more information on the FPP suspension!
