Can I get 3” spacer lifts added to the base Sasquatch after market? I want the lifted look, and will not be off roading. Please be nice, I know nothing about cars. Below is the link to the spacers that I want to get added.

A 3" spacer lift w/o replacing the upper control arms will put a lot of undo wear n tear and stress on your steering components and CVs...even if you are not wheeling. I would think a 2" spacer lift on top of SAS will get you the look and still keep the steering geometry at an acceptable level.
IMO any lift over 2" up to 3.5" should be accomplished w/ new coil overs and UCAs.

You are already getting the "lifted look" with the Sasquatch package. If you still desire it to be lifted more, then I wouldn't go with more than a 2" spacer lift personally. A 2" spacer lift on Sasquatch would allow for 37" tires. This is my 2" spacer lift on an non-sas with 35" tires.

Thank you! So if I added the 2” spacers to my basesquatch, could I keep the 35” tires or would it look silly?

Anything over an inch is supposed to put unneeded stress on drivetrain components. Do it right once or fix broken components down the road. The choice is yours to make.

Thank you for the info. I def don’t want to do anything that would take away from the quality of the parts in order for it to look good. So if I did 1” spacers that would be okay?

Keep this in mind also. If it is the lifted look you are going for, larger tires add height as well. Ford says the sasquatch tires are 35", in reality they are 34.2". However much you go up in tire size you have to cut in half to determine how much it will increase the height of the vehicle. So if you were to add a 2" spacer lift and 37" tires then that give you 2" for the lift and 1.4" for the tires (37" - 34.2" = 2.8 / 2 = 1.4"). I'm just trying to give you all the info for making an informed decision. I'm not positive that a 2" lift would put a calculable amount of stress on drivetrain components when you are not off roading.

As per your other question, I'm not sure how a lift would look without larger tires. From watching some youtube videos people are saying the tread wears down incredibly fast on the sas tires. Maybe wear them down and replace with something larger later.

So many fun decisions. I love Broncos!

Thank you for the explanation!!! I will keep researching. I ordered 12/29/21. So I probably have plenty of time to keep researching.

37" Tires on a Sasquatch 4-Door

(Plan A) is to install the 2" Spacer lift, Differential Drop Kit and Upper Control Arms.

Install the Toyo 37x12.50x18 ATIIIs with Method 705 18x9" Wheels.

Then wait for the (Plan B) Fox Coil-Overs to deliver. Install whenever those arrive.
