I wonder about the 33" tires. One of the answers was: "Sasquatch has stiffer springs and longer shocks. There is no “ spacer” ". I assume that means the stiffer springs compress less, thus keeping the ride height of the vehicle higher? Also I had read the Sasquatch has longer bump stops. So basically, that combo stiffer springs/longer bump stops, would keep the body higher, and allow less compression ... to accommodate the larger 35" tires and not have them contact the body.That's disappointing (if true). There isn't much reason to think why they'd have 4 or 5 different suspensions just for trim levels... especially when everyone takes the position of keep it simple, or keep it all the same from a cost perspective. I fit 33's on a JKU Sport without issue. The Bronco should do the same.. or is this just how they push Base & BB models up to Squatch package?
If otherwise the Sasquatch has no changes to the front A-arms or other geometry, that is good news for people wanting to lift after the fact. Meaning some small spring spacers (and bump stop spacers if needed) would lift the Bronco same as Sasquatch in terms of geometry. That might be the way to go to give 33" tires a bit more clearance.
