Outer Banks with or without Sasquatch?

[Heelabaloo]

This question comes up often and all the SAS owners will say go with the SAS. Personally I don’t want 35” tires and won’t be off-road as much as others but I’ll likely put 33’s on mine in the future if/when I change the wheels. Unless you just have to be on 35s or want a cloth interior, I’d recommend you just order a Badlands. It comes with 33’s and you get all the upgrades including front and rear lockers, upgraded suspension, plus the sway bar disconnect for around the same price as the OBX with SAS. We drove one at the Moab off rodeo and it did everything the SAS did.
Also, almost forgot, many SAS owners absolutely hate the Goodyears that come with the SAS. There are plenty of comments on here about that as well.

If you want the look then order the squatch. However, mentioned 20 inch rims... don't. It is definitely just a pavement princess then. I have a non squatch 2 door OBX. I am going to get 33 inch tires, perhaps new 17 inch rims. Offroad is not about 20 inch... I had 20 inch rims on my Challenger... I am not going to do any serious off roading either, it is a daily driver. If it was any higher my wife could not get in with the step haha

That Is accurate. I highly doubt the Bronco wil ever see anything other than pavement but you ner know. And yes, more than likely a 20" wheels and 35" tire will be going on it.

Good day everyone. Not sure this is the best section to post this but here it goes. I will be ordering an Outer Banks with Lux trim as soon as new orders open up.

I am looking at adding a few mods but one of the first will be a set of 35s with 20" wheels. It is my understanding that with a stock Outer Banks, I will need to lift it 2 to 3" for the 35s.

I would love feedback on going with the Sasquatch package vs going a different route to lift.

The Bronco will see very little if any trails. Mostly street driving so I want to make sure the ride is as comfortable and quiet as possible.

Mostly street driving? Skip the lift and run the factory 32s.

Judging from all the Wranglers I see with monster tires the lift is for show only. The higher uou raise the center of gravity the slower you have to take curves on the interstate.

Just my opinion with zero offroad

Yes, go sas on the outerbanks

And change flares so from a distance no one fall tellbit is an OBX

Love SAS and wouldn’t think about not having it. Still average around 17-19 mpg depending on spirited driving and weather. Also changed out the decorative beadlock rings and the Bronco emblem on the back to match the black painted grill. My final decision came down to roast interior vs the lighter sandstone in the Wildtrak. Love the roast interior in person.

Here’s my non SAS OBX with Badlands rims and 295/70/17’s. I actually think I could get 305/75/17’s under there with the crash bars removed.

Sasquatch everything. I’d get a Sasquatch package on a Miata if available.

Factory 35s with hardware and warranty to support it. 37s are little more than a few Forscan mods away.
