Less Squat on Non-Sas Badlands ?

[Sitruc_btb]

A budget boost and some bigger tires will help. A few brands have small spacer kits that work with the Badlands. I wouldnt go any higher than 1.5" spacers on the non Squatch Badlands shocks.
My BL on 1.5" spacers and 315's with 1.25" wheel spacers, to clear the upper control arms.

For a base bronco do you recommend the same? Not sure If I have the same shocks and whatnot as a badlands. What do you think is the best looking lift height with 35's?

The base without Sasquatch comes with the black Hitachi shocks. Badlands comes with Bilstein, but the standard spring unless you add Sasquatch.

For 35s, I like 1 1/2 inches of lift. An affordable option that will improve brake dive and off road performance is the Bilstein 5100 shocks. A set of 4 can be found under $600 and they are adjustable from 1” to 3” of lift in half inch increments . If you search Bilstein 5100, you will find reviews from many Bronco6g members that are running them.

The difference is lift between a Non-Sas Badlands and a Sas Bronco is only a half of an inch. A take-off set of Sas wheel/tires will get you almost there without a spacer lift, and realignment, a true set of 35's would get you within a quarter of an inch of the height you want.

Crazy that the only difference between Sas and Non-Sas is a half inch higher lift, as to me the Sas has a more agreesive look / stance to me. Thank you for the info!

I did the 1" leveling lift, modified crash bars and installed 35×10.50 17 tires on the origional Badlands wheels.

Yeah, the Badland gets you .6" over stock and the SAS package is only 1.1". Not sure I'm willing to risk my warranty for a 1/2 inch.

Yeah I suppose there's a risk vs reward decision I suppose... For a honestly surprisingly fractional diff. But looks soo nice. Arg. Decisions. Lol.

Wheel offset and tire size on the stock sas will make it look different despite not being much higher

It also has a wider track width with the different offset wheels. And wider flares/bumper.

This is my standard badlands with Eibach replacement coil springs on 315/70/17's

I like it. Realized this is a total noob question.... The offset is changed with diff width rims?

Not the width of the wheel, but where the wheel mounts within the wheel.

Ahhh yes... That would make more sence... Thanks again guys. I realize a lot of these questions are obv for most. Always appreciated when I can ask questions on here and not get roasted. Appreciate ya'll!

This is mine with 285/75R17 on +35mm offset wheels. Stock suspension but I plan on adding a 1” leveling block up front this winter.

Looks nice. So you don't need the 1" in front level to run 35s? No rub?
