Could Sasquatch "high clearance suspension" mean a 2 inch lift?

[Gamecock]

That was my complaint on the bronco. How can a relatively large SUV have such low ground clearance on 35s? The xterra pro4x has 9.5" clearance on 32s and stock suspension for comparison.

I don't know that 11.5' on 35s is really that low...about the same as Jeep on 35s. On 32s, it would be about the same as the xterra, as that 8.5" number is based on 30s on the base.

so the badlands and Wildtrak wigth 35s would not be the same height?

Except a Badlands. In that case about a .6" suspension lift of some type, plus the bigger tire.

so the badlands and Wildtrak with 35s would not be the same height?

If you Squatched the Badands = same height as the Wildtrack (note: someone said the height reduces the Badlands articulation a little). If you just put 35s on a Badlands with no Squatch, as best we can calculate you'd sit 1/2-5/8" lower.

really hoping I can fit some 35s on the Badlands, I want my MT, If not I may hold off or get a rubicon

For someone who will drive 95% on the streets and still wants a badass looking bronco... is Sasquatch too much? Would the 95% driving experience on roads be significantly improved by only going with 33s?

If you plan to drive 95% on paved roads up to 80mph driving. I would go with the 33’s. My choice would be badlands 2 door with 33’s but think it’s too much money for a 2 door bronco. So I will probably go with base Sasquatch. I will drive my truck on long road trips. The bronco will be used driving to work 5 miles and be my daily driver trail rig.

I doubt 35 will fit without rubbing on stock badlands. A 34 11.50 might. Remember when disconnected it will flex more

If you don't get 35s from the factory then you will not have the right gearing when you throw on 35s down the road.

Yeah, I was saying that more for illustrated explanation. And am thinking 295/70 Duratracs or 305/65 KO2s for the second set of tires myself.

any chance you can make a post (maybe in the tire size section) explaining this? i'm not getting 35s (probably a wide 32 or 33). but i'm interested in learning about the gear ratios, etc. or maybe a good link that explains it?

Yeah I realize this, Just really sucks they leaving out the MT for 35s. I think I am out and hoping they add in to 2022, The yj can go another year its already got 187,000 miles now LOL

Awesome. Thanks. So if I have this right, the manual is a 4.46:1 which would run anything from 32s to 35s just fine.

So you DD 5 miles and you are going to run 35s? I have an 8 mile commute also... love the look of 35s and the lift.... thinking BD + SAS + Mid.... No long trips planned but I mean Im in AZ so theres always placed to go. Mind messaging me and giving me your 2 cents?

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the badlands already come with the sas suspension ? - wheels and 35 tires .
If so wouldn’t 35” fit if you wanted to add your own down the road

The lift is different between a Badlands with and without Sasquatch. A small difference, but it may be significant when putting on bigger tires.
