[V1Rotate]

Absolutely nothing. That's why I called it a fake squatch!

Aaaah I gotcha haha

What did you do for axles and gearing?

Absolutely nothing. That's why I called it a fake squatch!

But to be fair the Black Diamond has 4.46 and a rear locker, so nothing to be embarrassed about.

Nice build! Howd you get the flares for only $250?! I’m searching for pairs right now to swap out my new Badlands fenders with Sas..

It was only one set. I was skeptical at first, but it came in and still had the Ford QR codes and packaging.

Wow nice buy! I’ll keep searching for a deal like this, thank you.

Hi guys,

I just wanted to share my experience with fake squatching my Black Diamond for those who are interested.

I did not order the SAS package for financial reasons 2 years ago when I first ordered the car, but slowly I was able to customize it to my liking.

Parts installed:

Used SAS takeoff shocks and springs: $400
Suspension installation: $650
New SAS fender flares: $250
New SAS bumper end caps: $80
1.25" Bora Wheel Spacers: $290
Total: $1670

35s are going on when I reach 30K miles on my Yokohama Geolandars in 285/75/17 in a few months.

Here are some pictures of my current setup:

I also completed the "double Stuf Oreo" look on my car by wrapping the A-pillars in satin black.

That's all for now.

Thanks to a bunch of 6G members for helping me with my setup.

Did you have to trim your studs with the 1.25" Bora spacers?

No. They are perfect.

There is always more one way to skin a cat,the gears and lockers were non negotiable for me.

I always forget about BD having a rear locker. I think I could manage with just the rear, but there's been a few times I had to use the front that saved my behind. I was thinking about doing something similar to your build and may have to pull the trigger since I want a 2 dr and might have to say buh bye to my 4 dr badlands!

Thaaaaank you! Been on my mind for my Black Diamond!

Looks great! Did you actually need the wheel spacers to keep from rubbing or just do it for the stance?
I have a SAS BB coming and want to change wheels and put on steelies and I have read here that the stock SAS Goodyear 315s fit with no rubbing and no spacers?

Hi,
I’m about to put 35s on the steelies and they do require spacers. Otherwise they rub against the UCAs

Looks great. I am thinking about doing something very similar. I have stock badlands wheels (powder coated black) that I want to keep. My math says the wheel spacers are required for zero rubbing, which I want. Everything good with yours? Would you recommend borla? I LOVE the steelies and might actually switch to those. I hope you keep them with the 35's.
