So what’s actually included with Squatch on BL?

[Hbrichman]

I know this has been brought up a few times, but I wanted to make an actual thread about it. It’s my understanding that most the items included with Sasquatch already come standard on BL and you can upgrade to the 4.7 gears for free. That being said, what’s actually included with Squatch on Badlands? Is it just the wheels/tires and wider fenders? I’m planning on going aftermarket wheels/tires so I’m really debating if it’s worth spending the $ for Squatch or not.. Just trying to see if I’ll be missing out on anything suspension wise? Sorry if there’s already a main thread on this topic, if not maybe we can use this to post for any updates on the subject when the time comes?

Squatch also includes High Clearance Suspension. I would assume that is for the 35s. Is that included in BL?

Edited to add: High Clearance Suspension is listed as an option for BL. I presume you get that option when you add the squatch package.

If you do the math with the available specs on height, tire size and such, the Squatch adds about an additional 1 inch to the height of a non Squatch BL. How that is achieved is not clear, but it does suggest the difference is in the suspension. It sure would be nice to have all of the suspension details.

Talking to the rep at Gatlinburg, the spring rates are different from the base BL, due to the heavier tires. And he was not sure if the shock are different or not.

Thanks for the replies. I guess the question now is what exactly does high clearance suspension mean. Does that just include a small lift over regular BL suspension? Hopefully Ford can clear this up before it’s time to order

I wouldn’t count on the 4.7 gearing. Seems more like a build and price bug to me.
