Same boat...I love the stance of Sasquatch but have absolute zero use for any of what its designed for. I might just get 33s on it and save the $4kI am also still undecided. Maybe build and price will helpLogically for me the 33 would work best as I will be doing a lot of pavement, but that extra 1 inch of clearance might come in handy off road. Probably if I went 35 I would never really end up using it.
I been running 35” with 3.73 gears from the factory. 2012 with 85,000 miles. I run Moab slick rock, Aspen mountains, Arizona desert and sand on a 4 door with steel bumpers for added weight. Ball joints still original. And I only have 5 speed auto.
It won't hurt anything, just makes driving miserable, and tanks fuel mileage. 3.73s in an automatic jeep on 35s (JK) is tolerable. in a manual it is awful. On the JL, the stock 3.45s aren't enough, even with the 8spd auto. People do it and live with it, either because it's still "ok", they don't want to spend big money on new gears, a new front carrier and the install, or because they haven't driven one that's geared correctly.
Good to hear then. That definitely tips my scale to no squatch for the time being.
Nothing will break, the larger gears just multiply your torque. The 3.21s even with stock 32s are slow to accelerate. With 35s it is a very bad experience. However, the 3.21s are very common gears in JKs, and MANY of the lifted Jeeps you see are running 3.21s and do so just fine.
