Squatched Badlands question

[radiocontrolhead]

From what I was able to find, the Badlands already has all the suspension components of a Sasquatch package but I am not sure. I seems as though the only things the 2500 ish buys us will be wheels and wider fender flares.

My questions:

1. is above correct?
2. will there be an additional suspension lift with the package or will the ride height be the same?
3. If I decide not to get the package and later purchase the 35" wheels (which is what i'm ultimately leaning toward) will I need to make any adjustments for the speedo due to the larger wheel size? How does the bronco take this into account between all these different tire size options?

My goal is to be able to choose my own wheel and tire package a not drop 2500 bucks on a set i'm not super stoked about. The fender flares seem super easy to install. no biggie there.

Squatch springs are stiffer, therefore taller, than BL suspension.

If you wanna see BL suspension, non squatch, with 35s look at the overland concept.

Also, if you're going AT with BL squatch is only way to get 4.7s.

will be doing manual so the 4.7 works. I do like the way the concept sits. Is this what you were referring to? I love these wheels. Although rubbing might be a concern?

That's the one.

So, if you're going manual, squatch gets you wheels/tires, and stiffer/taller springs.

The rub is that this isn’t actually confirmed. It was stated by a Ford rep, but we’ve heard incorrect info from them before.

It makes a lot of sense, but we don’t know for certain yet.

True. But all information we have currently is speculative and unconfirmed.

At this point we should all know to take everything with a grain of salt.

1. It also gets you a warranty.
2. A lot of back and forth on this but if you look at the overland (supposedly not full squatch) and a Badsquatch there is quite a difference.
3. The Speedo would be off a little bit but not a lot going from a ~33 to ~35 as compared to ~31 to ~35.Every tuner I’ve ever had had the ability to change the wheel rpm or size to fix the speedo.

For what you get $2500 isn’t that much compared to buying it all after market. You will be able to recoup some selling the takeoffs but probably not as much as not buying them in the first place. don’t like the wheels much either but plan on wearing out the first set of tires and then deciding.

You can get the BL AT 4.7 without squatch. Its a free upgrade.

Didn't notice that. Is B&P different on mobile vs desktop devices?

The shocks are different with the Sasquatch package, Bilstein Positional Sensitive Dampers.

No those same shocks are std on badlands...lower trims they are not.

Nope, been like that since day 1. Hopefully it's not a error on Fords part (I don't think it is)

Same shocks on the BL as the squatch as well, squatch just has bigger bump stops i believe.

BL has everything squatch has except standard wheels on 33s vs beadlock CAPABLE on 35s. Remember that, even with the 35s you still have to buy the rings from Ford to make them full beadlock wheels.
