Sasquatch Lift? Stuffed 35s?

[ttboy]

I keep seeing pics of Broncos with fat tires and no clearance. Is that the actual squatch package or just 35s without squatch lift? Pics of actual squatch appreciated.

Picture below is of a Badlands non sasquatch with aftermarket rims and 35s. The question alot are wondering is what is causing this Bronco to look so low to the ground compared to what we have scene thus far. Is it weight related, does the sasquatch in fact add a lift to the suspension, or is weight of accessories the driving factor.

I was thinking of going badlands but without the sasquatch package so that I could just upgrade wheels and tires myself but after seeing the photo above, I may stick with sasquatch package.

*edit: One in the middle is a believe one with sasquatch package:

The way I understand it is that picture is a Bronco with 35's and without the Sasquatch package. So it will have a taller suspension and high clearance fender flares.

The Overlander concept is Badlands without Sasquatch, with 35s added. The Sasquatch package adds a little bit of additional lift above Badlands (.6" speculated / calculated) with stiifer springs / taller shock settings.That little bit of lift is obviously needed badly needed for 35s. Someone on here supposedly had a conversation with a Ford engineer and kept repeating that the lifts were exactly the same and that caused a lot of confusion...but other Ford reps have repeated again and again that Sasquatch adds more lift over stock Badlands, and the pictures make it pretty clear that is true.

So, not sure which model this is (looks like AMB door handles, so maybe OBX) but it is squatched. One thing to consider, the Badlands with steel bumpers, bash plates, and a hardtop is heavier - and the suspension is soft for articulation, so it will be a little lower than an OBX with plastic bumpers and a soft top. The rack, coolers, Lux package, etc in that overland concept add weight too.

WildTrak has Sasquatch running gear, correct?

I believe that is a Wildtrax because of the painted handles and the black beauty rings.

Yes, Squatch is standard on the WT.

Could not make out the side decals / maybe not on yet, but OK.

This helps. I want my Bronco to sit lower, personally. I won't be rock crawling

Herein lies my current dilemma id say. The overland concept has the stance I desire. Big wheels. Low height.

The wildtrak however has the black grills, black top, etc. But it's Sasquatch and all lifted n shit.

I wonder.... ?
How expensive it would be to ask the dealer to remove the lift. Is that asinine? Or do I suck it up with the grey exterior accents of the badlands (which are ok, but not LOVE like the black wildtrak) to just get larger wheels

I think this is part of the IFS tradeoff.
1. You don't need the same clearance as a Jeep as the vehicle simply won't articulate as much.
2. An aftermarket lift primarily for looks will be more difficult/expensive.

The bronco still will be incredibly capable and much better on-road but there was absolutely trade-offs for going IFS and a big one is it won't articulate like a Jeep.

I'll sell you my 17" Black High Gloss-Painted Aluminum, Beadlock Capable Wheels?

I won't be rock crawling either but I've seen enough rocks and stumps in mud pits on trails to know that I want more clearance, not less...besides, squatch is only like a 1-1/4" lift, not that much.

The other issue I have with a non-squatch anything is that here, in order to pass inspection, tires have to be covered, no poke (yet somehow I see it all the time) so those wider flares are something I want (and since I'd end up with 35s eventually anyway, might as well just start with them).

*I think I read where the Sasquatch pkg. added a 1.5" lift with the 35's
