Zone 1” Leveling Kit Badlands Sasquatch

[Broncoblk23]

Just wanted to share some info on the Zone 1” kit to help anyone in the future looking to do this. I just put this kit on yesterday. It went on my 2022 Badlands Sasquatch and it is a 2 piece kit with a top strut plate and bottom shock plate. After I completed the kit I noticed the front was a little higher than the rear, not by much but definitely a noticeable “squatted” look. I immediately took the bottom plates off on the lower shock mounts and it sits level now. I’m not sure if it is because of the Sasquatch package that it does this and the kit is designed for all models, but I did notice that Zone’s installation video was of a Non Sasquatch and every other pic is found appeared to be as well. So if you’re doing this to a Bronco with the Sasquatch package already on it I’d recommend leaving the bottom plate off. I didn’t get a chance to take a pic of the squatted look because it was already dark and I wanted to hurry up and finish. Here is a pic of the completed look. Hope this helps anyone looking to install a 2 piece leveling kit or anyone that already has and isn’t happy with the stance.

Did you measure the ride height on the front and back to see how close to level it is after your install?

I did. The front is about an 1/8 of an inch lower

I have this kit on my Badlands non-Sas and it sits level. It seemed higher at first, but settled after a couple of days.

I've read that people have used the rear plates off the Rough Country level kit in addition to the Zone kit to raise the rear a bit. The RC kit comes with 2 sets of upper plates.

Thanks for the heads up on the Sasquatch thing, I was looking at the Zone kit for mine so this is really helpful info.

Zone Offroad is a very reputable brand and seems to be proven so far. Rough Country has been around almost as long as Skyjacker, and is a great choice. As for the Rough Country, you can work with the built in rear rake that is approx. 3/4 inch higher than the front. That said, the RC 4 piece upper spacers can be split between front and rear to maintain a slight rake in the rear for loads and trailers. That is my plan!
