Has anyone added 6100 to a non-sasquatch badlands without swapping the springs? I read conflicting reports on if they are the same as sasquatch or not.

Yeah I have. Non squatch badlands. Using my stick springs. Been about a year. No issues. Might have lost a slight but of lift up front, think the Badlands spring are slightly softer. But they've been awesome. Rides better than the Badlands shocks/struts.

Thanks. Nah, I felt the blocks were heavier than I wanted. The fuel shoks were much lighter, my 35" combos with the 35x12.5x17 Toyo's are only 3 lbs per heavier than the stocks.

No, that was more aggressive than I wanted. They are the +1 offset. Basically zero offset lol

Gotcha - the +1 seems to be on backorder unfortunately. I like the way yours looks for sure. I dont want a lot of poke.

EDIT: Actually I think its because I want gunmetal they don't make them in +1. Black it is I guess.

I've been wanting to powder coat mine for a while now. Lol I'd buy whatever you can get and immediately powder them whatever you want haha

I love my Bandlands Bronco but the biggest dissapointment has been the ride quality. It is very rough and harsh at slow to medium speeds over moderately rough roads. Most of what we do is explore mountain roads. Two of my sons have Jeep Wranglers and their ride is way more comfortable.

I found that Stage 3 Motorsports have the 5100 Bilsteins on sale for $490 and I couldn't pass them up. Everything I have read and watched indicates that they will be much smoother riding and better suited to my driving style. Should be here tomorrow. Hopefully I can get them installed during the next couple of weeks. I have high hopes!!!

The 5100 and the 6100 are different setups. I have the 6100 and run my tires at 35psi on anything other than heavily rocky terrain. The ride is fine for us. Including a whiney wife and kid lol

I have a non SAS badlands and looking at 6100s/6112s. You said you like the 6100s better than stock? In all areas? Anything you don't like? And you said you lost some height? Did you do anything else for height for 35s? Thanks in advance
