Sasquatch Lift Height is 1.2" ?

[Apples]

Thought the 10mm number was in reference to the travel

Both have been stated by "Ford reps". Just comparing the two makes it pretty obvious there's at least some sort of lift there.

Edit: Plus, as I said in my first comment, if you assume it's 10mm of lift, the numbers start to line up. All those numbers are "preliminary" per Ford docs but still.

No offense- right behind you in your member photo you can see how poorly 35s fit on a stock BL.

I have personally seen that specific BL "Overland" concept vehicle. It does NOT have the Sasquatch pkg. All they did was throw some 35's on a standard BL. There's only ~3.5" from the tire to the fender. An actual Sasquatch will have a much larger gap here.

All I know is that when they crammed 35 inch tires on the Badlands at the show it looked bad. Like there was no room for travel in the suspension for Off-roading. I think there is a bigger difference then you think. At least to my eyes anyway.

I concur. That was my impression too when I saw it at Mammoth last weekend.

I'm not so sure that the Squatched Badlands has the identical suspension as a Wildtrak. I guess we'll find out soon though.

There is only one version of the Sasquatch Package.

2"factory lift was promised. Why not get the Sasquatch on a 2" factory lift? I don't think BL + 10mm is quite enough to jump from 33s to 35s. Trying to offset an extra inch of rubber heading up into the well with only 0.4". I'm curious what the lift difference is between squatch and nonsquatched anything-other-than BL is

You can do that same math from the preliminary numbers. I'll use the Big Bend numbers.

Wildtrak 4 door height - 75.3"
Big Bend 4 door height - 72.9"
Difference - 2.4"

315/70r17 tire height - 34.4"
255/75r17 tire height - 32.1"
Difference 2.3" / 2 = 1.15"

2.4-1.15 = 1.25" suspension difference

Wtf would fella say we lifted it half an inch and 2 hours later when asked how? He replies with we didn't. Is this guy a politician??

He said they were asked to, but realized it was going to be too difficult, and the 35s fit without it, so they just f’in sent it.

For what it’s worth I did the same calculation as done above except compared a stock BL to a WT and came up with a .55” difference.

2DR WT Height-75.2
2DR BL Height-73.8
Difference-1.4

315/70R17-34.4
285/70R17-32.71
Difference-(34.4-32.71)/2=0.845

Suspension Difference: 1.4-0.845=0.55

Is that the 1/2” they were asked to put on and just said screw it? It would seem to me that the combination of that 1/2” plus the .25” of the Sasquatch tires instead of true 35s would make quite a difference at least in appearance if not performance.

The Badlands has its own "unique heavy duty suspension" as stated here. So Ford will take off the unique Badlands suspension and put on the Sasquatch suspension? The Ford reps stated that they are similar but different...with different part numbers.

I bring this up because why would a person even order a Badlands with or without Squatch when you can get a base with Squatch for much cheaper. I would believe that a squatched Badlands is far more capable than a squatched Base.

Bottom line, i guess it's best to wait and see what really is the difference between them all. I want to see all of the specifics to include part numbers.

They sell you on the interior and the technology as well as capability. You have to pay up to get certain other things which is why on the top models built the same way they are all within a small margin of each other.

Factory or dealer installed? There's a difference. I doubt there is a factory installed 2in lift, but would be happy if there was. But, that's been beat to death in it's own thread.

All they've said is, it will be available at time of order.
