Damn dude! It clearly says milimeters.

Does anyone know if the sasquatch has the same suspension as the stock Badlands with 33's. Difference being wheels and tires and fender flares?

AFAIK it's a different suspension

That's only comparing Base to Badlands. I can't see anything where it's comparing Badlands to BL with Sasquatch.

You won't find anything. Ford is being tight lipped about this. I think it's safe to assume that Squatch travel is the same as Base and the other trims besides BL. There simply isn't enough room for those 35s to move around. The Warthog will take care of this with entirely new suspension and longer travel.

I've never seriously considered 35s. I don't crawl over boulders and Badlands with 33s is way overkill for what I'll do with it. I will drive 98% on road and 35s will be slower, brake worse, have worse gas mileage, be louder and handle worse than smaller tires. All the Badlands pictured here are 33's with the optional ($995) Badlands beadlock rims w/carbonized grey beauty rings. I think they're killer and match the carbonized grey Badlands grille perfectly. 33s are big, aggressive tires although reading this forum, you'll start believing they're tiny.

While I'd probably rather have the 33s than the 35s, and don't doubt Badlands is probably a better balanced package for my tastes, I still find a Squatch'ed Base or BB gets me the mechanicals I want at a lower entry price than a non-Squatched BL.

Guess I'll have to hope I can find a set of 33" take-offs at some point in time.

awesome, you are full of useful info lol

Badlands with optional rims ($995). Obligatory imo. They also have optional MT tires for $695. I'm not getting those tires although they look great. Add the MIC top and you've got what you see. Voila!

Wheels are $700 up here but the tires are $1595.

These look good but this CO badlands looks like it has too much space in the wheel wells. Maybe it has a small lift:

it might be one of the mules without an engine

i'm not sure that's a safe assumption to make

op said about 30sec later engineers walked up and drove it away.

Base___: 200/215 - 7.87/8.46
Badlands: 240/261 - 9.45/10.28

Ford's suspension travel for front/rear in mm and converted to inches. Difference in inches is 1.58/1.83.

Squatch tire diameter is roughly 2" longer than Badlands. Squatch would have to be lifted relative to Badlands enough to compensate for the 2" extra tire diameter to maintain the same travel as Badlands.

I have seen nothing from Ford indicating they have done this, but if you have please show me. Until Ford shows actual specs it's all guesswork, but I'm holding my assumption. What travel do you assume Squatch will have?

Questions I have: Will a Squatched Badlands have different travel than a Squatched Base? Do Badlands and Squatched Badlands have different travel?

I understand the rationale for 1 inch, but not 2 inches for the ‘squatch when starting from a badlands suspension. At least one ford spokescreature has stated stiffer springs in the ‘squat but otherwise identical to badlands suspension.
