I am not extremely versed in suspension knowledge but is there a difference between the BB and BD outside of the rear locker? So my question is would equipping a BB with the rear locker option and, in my case, swapping to A/T tires puts the BB on the same level as a BD suspension wise?

Yeah pretty much. Same suspension and axles. However, you are able to slap the advanced transfer case on the BD. You have to go SAS to get the advanced case on the BB.

That’s what I thought I was picking up from research but wasn’t sure. Thank you for the reply.

I did forget about the extra body armor that comes with a black diamond…🤔
