If you use Badlands shocks, you need to use Badlands springs as well. You have to match the springs as close as you can to your configuration.This scenario is maybe complicated.
I have a Base build date of 12/6. I'm thinking about putting on a set of stock 32" BD wheels and tires. If I were to put on stock Bilsteins, would I order non-SAS Badland shocks and BD springs?
I would probably put the BL non-SAS Bilsteins and BL springs on it matched with your other engine/transmission/tow options. That's just me...This scenario is maybe complicated.

n00b question, but I’ve never messed with suspension on a 4x4. What gains do you get with upgraded trailing arms if the geometry is staying similar?
Minimal gains, but I am replacing coilovers as well to get more articulation at the same time. The new trailing arms have uniball ends instead of the original hard rubber bushings that should allow more movement. It should allow both rear tires to remain in contact with the ground in spots that the original ones didn't. Honestly though, it's just a small piece of the puzzle to get more articulation.
That's a good question. The arm is stronger, which might be a benefit if the stock arm doesn't hold up well to rock crawling and being banged on rocks. Don't know if we have evidence of that yet. Not an issue if not in rocks much. The other benefit would be less resistance to articulation, like said above, over the rubber bushings. The negative of the uniballs over rubber bushings is noise and harshness, since the rubber does a good job of isolating road noise and feeling road irregularities and the the uniballs are going to transfer much more noise and vibration to the body. Also, when the uniballs wear out they will click on road irregularities and they will not last as long as rubber bushings in most driving conditions.
For the price this is a great deal for anyone with a 4 door.
What are they coming off of and going on to?
Not sure... just that they are from BL non sas going on base non sas 2door
