Other problem... can't add the mid package... Remote start is must here in Nebraska.Only problem with that theory..... Base doesn't have Race Red
But yeah, Sas Base is a cheaper way to go for sure.

With the cost of the lift, new tires and wheels, you're probably fairly close to the cost of the Sasquatch package, but it's not covered under warranty.

Well yeah you should be good. Just don't expect a lift to be cheap for IFS. I haven't installed lifts since my old FSB's (TTB). You could get those anywhere from $500 all the way up to $2k. I've heard IFS lifts are considerably more.
Compare that to a Jeep, you can get a spacer lift for about $200 bucks if all you want is larger tires.
So at that point, you're gaining more by just going Sasquatch. You get both lockers, the 4.70 gears and the tires for $5k. Whereas aftermarket figure on about $3k +/- for tires and wheels. And you don't get the front locker or gears, not sure what those prices are. Other than I asked about changing diff's in wife's '17 Jeep (go from 3.21 I think, to like 4.10's just to throw out there), got a rough quote of $2700. So by then, just go Squatch.

I am not an expert here, thus the basic questions... Assuming, lift added/add flares after/I would be able to put some 35's on, correct? is the Sasquatch package lifted as well?

No more questions man. Just stay stock and enjoy your rig, or buy 255/80/17 or 275/80/17 tires and drive it. No more talking.

More red paint for you then. Just ignore the overspray of Cyber Orange. It isn't very much and it won't be noticeable (when you're in the house - looking the other way).Only problem with that theory..... Base doesn't have Race Red

Base squatch, not rock crawling, so I'll be getting running boards, thinking of going old school aluminum diamond plate if I can find them. Should help with entrance for my wife...

This is exactly what my wife and i did when we built ours. We settled on BD with the 2.7 and 4A. there wasn't enough room to do that and squach. It would be fun for sure, but i can also change suspension later, not the motor or transfer case. So, that dictated the build. We're gonna explore with the BD the way we built it and then see if it needs anything else suspension wise as we go.

After making all kinds of pricing spread sheets I decided on the Big Bend, Auto, V6 and with Sasquatch. I figured the Sasquatch was either + $5,800 or + $5,000 depending on how you do math. Because basically you must start with Advanced 4wd aka Rear Diff Lock for $800 then the Sasquatch for + $5,000. Comparing that to Big Bend standard when you add wheels and tires you will likely spend about $2,000 or more there... and have to deal with it. Then Sasquatch adds Front Diff Lock along with upgraded front axle and shocks. All in it was a close call but I am very happy with going Big Bend Sasquatch.
But if all else fails, I also ordered a 2 door Base no options except Automatic. Planning on adding some better wheels and some mud grips. That will probably end up being the best deal of all.

Base,
Everything else is want not need for what you described on suspension in my opinion. If your Daily has 31's, sounds like it is working for you, so why would you need more?
Aside from the Rock guys (tiny minority), you don't need a locker. Tons of guys will come in and say you do, or better to have than not have, but I would say, being smart about where you go, far outweighs what you have. Vast majority of 4wd's don't have them, guys have been hunting, fishing, camping and exploring do just fine without them. If you are going to go to some "4wd park" or intentionally looking for very challenging terrain, then I guess Sasquatch is the choice.
