Hey guys! Looking to have an adult conversation here with some answers to some questions to see some reasoning behind why we are adding a Sasquatch Package, then adding an aftermarket lift and changing the wheels.
I understand the basics, “larger tires” - but after looking at the Zone and Rough Country Lifts, we are just adding a spacer, and changing the upper control arm.
Is adding a spacer lift worth it?
I changed shocks, springs, control arms, tie rod ends, sway links, track bars when I did a lift on my Wrangler - of course this was a solid axle compared to an IFS. Is IFS that much easier to lift?
Would it be easier for someone to buy a non-Sasquatch Bronco, add taller coil overs and change control arms and have a beefier suspension than a Sasquatch with a spacer lift?
I have a Badlands, non-Sasquatch, because after driving 240,000+ miles in a Jeep on 35’s, I was content being with 33’s, but may consider going back to a larger tire once I wear these out.
I understand there is now the Hoss 3.0 Suspension, there is now the Raptor and Everglades, but the Badlands even without Sasquatch outperforms a Rubicon in my mind, with the research and my driving style.
So again - would it be better for someone to go base, then add coil overs and control arms over spending an extra $5,000 on a Sasquatch Package only to add another few thousand dollars in new wheels and spacers and an upper control arm?
To me it doesn’t seem like the Sasquatch Package is a more valuable option, and if I can add a spacer to the Badlands and get an additional 3” (per Zones website) does that seem to be the way to go for new orders?
Please let me know how I may be wrong in this thinking.
