Driveshaft and steering rack different in Sasquatch?

[BC overlanding]

I was just wondering/thinking. Does anyone know if the drive line ie drive shaft and what not, are the same or different from SAS package or the same as ones with 33's. Same question for steering rack. Bigger tires = more weight more stress on these systems.

Other than the difference between transmissions (auto or manual) and engine choice the base Badlands has the same drive train components and steering rack as the Sasquatch. Sasquatch suspension has bit more lift than base Badlands...by all accounts+/- 5/8" additional lift on Sas suspension. Also, the base Badlands on 33s w/ the 2.3 & 7MT gets the same 4.70 gearing as Sas. Base Badlands w/ the 2.3 & 10sp auto box get 4.46 gearing I beleive.

What they said! ^ Easy way think about it is if you have a front locker you have a different differential housing and improved Rack. The differential for the locker is a cast iron unit that is stronger than the cast aluminum on the non locker type.

While I myself don’t know the differences directly off-hand I do know there are different part numbers depending on if you have Sasquatch or not for the steering gear. And again I don’t know exact details but I remember in development the Raptor requested and used the Badlands rack specifically but don’t know if there are truly any differences.

There are 5 racks listed.

Bump.

Curious if anyone knows if a Non-SAS Bronco has a different steering rack than a SAS Bronco.

I read an article and it said that there is a difference, but I don't fully trust it.

Article in question.

As noted above, there are different part numbers so racks may differ. However, as far as an upgraded and more-beefy steering rack that has been identified and advertised, no, Squatch Broncos have the same rack as (most) other non-Squatch Broncos:

MY21 - MY22: all non-Raptor Broncos have the same steering rack
MY22: Braptor has upgraded steering rack
MY22.5: WT has ability to option Fox shocks which includes upgraded steering rack
MY23 - MY24: WT has Fox shocks and upgraded steering rack as standard equipment
MY24 - BL now includes an undefined upgraded steering rack. It can be assumed that a BL-Squatch will also include the same upgraded rack

(List should be complete but if there are some inaccuracies lmk and I will correct)

Edit. MY24 - All Squatch Broncos will receive the upgraded steering rack.

Thank you!

FYI, since your original post it has been confirmed that MY24 Broncos will now receive the upgraded steering rack as well.
