Yup, I will enjoy my teeny little Badlands 33" TA K02s!
I am with you. 33's seem to be the best of both worlds given the level of offroading I will do, along with daily driving. Not trying to get started here, but I would imagine the Sas 35's would take longer to stop than 33's. I am sure at some point there will be a test out there with the distance to stop, just like a 0-60 acceleration test as well.
I'm torn between 33s and Sasquatch on BL and if I go 33s, 4.46 gears or 4.7? I don't wanna get 33s and regret not getting Squatch later but also not sure what to expect with 35s and I'm getting mixed information on how easy it would be to go down to 33s later. Driven plenty of humvees and FMTVs in snow, mud, gravel, etc but that's a bit different. Wondering more about driving on improved surfaces.
Are you planning on hanging out at night street racing against the ricers with their boosted civics?
Lighter wheels will offset the difference between the factory 33's and 35's. You are spot on that more than tire size factors into the stopping distance.
Wasn't planning on it, but sounds interesting. I'll tell you what though, I''m getting a Badlands 2.7L, non-Squatch. I'll gladly race any Badlands 2.7 Squatch every Friday night for $10,000 per race. I'll clean up all the ninnies that deny tire size matters with road performance.
You are dillusional. Sasquatch 35s will require greater braking than any other Bronco tire setup. This is physics. I'll gladly bet, if you care to put your money where your mouth is. So, I'll bet any Base, BB, BD OBX or BL stock will out brake any Squatch vehicle. Please bet me! I know I'm good for it.
Interesting theory. Why does the Raptor use the exact same brakes as the standard F150's? Same calipers, rotors, and pads to stop those big scary 35's.
Wow, you seem obsessed over this. The fact is that the stock truck will stop “good enough” for the average driver. It will even stop good enough to add 37s. It’s no big deal, and you’re obsessed with talking about an option that you aren’t even ordering....seemingly trying to convince yourself.
From Esteban Plaza-Jennings ( Ford Brand Manager ) at SuperCel East while he and I stood by the model chassis- " There is no lift. Sasquatch has stiffer springs and longer shocks the BL. " Others from there quoted this and were told there is a small spacer used on the front.
