Someone with Twitter, or someone at the factory, or some dealer please try to get us the actual and specific differences between the badlands and sasquatch suspensions.

Thanks.

P.S.
I know we have other threads on this, but resurrecting an old thread and old theories won't get enough traction.

Because people are still wondering about it instead of accepting it.

Didn't realize Twitter users had access to Ford engineering specs. Or are Twitter users just generally resourceful people able to do lots of things?

I don't think there is really much to say on the subject to be honest. I'm not trying to be crass. I just don't think there really are any differences besides a little over an inch of lift. This could be achieved with longer steering knuckles, lifted struts, or a combination of the two. That is probably about it. The Badlands and Sasquatch suspensions were meant to be the most capable off-road suspensions offered on the current MY Broncos.

Once part numbers and shop manuals come out then I suspect we will know what the real differences are.

I'm really interested in this too. To me, it mostly matters because of timing - 21MY without Sasquatch package and 22MY with. At the present, I'm ordering without the Saquatch package, and plan an aftermarket lift and 37's.

I know the differences are subtle, and what they possibly are. I was just hoping for the the specifics. Not really expecting the facts, but I'm trying anyway.

Two seems very optimistic. But I suppose they could build 300 of them or whatever the number is to qualify as "mass produced" and in a particular month, then make everyone else wait a year and technically be able to say production began on such-and-such a date.

Well in reality every offroad company building components right now will be able to tell us shortly.
