While I am anxiously awaiting delivery of my very slightly used 2022 Cyber Orange Badlands, Non-Sas, I am hoping it is noticeably lower to the ground (for passengers) than a 2023 OBx Sas. My wife thinks the OBx with Sas is too high. Does anyone know the height difference between OBx or Badlands Sas vs. Non-Sas? I know the Badlands tire difference is 35" vs. 33", but does the Sas also add a lift? Thanks for your insight. Michael

I have a SAS Bronco (WT), but I have also stepped into a BL non SAS. There is a difference that should help in your situation, however the BL 33 inch tires are still aesthetically pleasing.

The Sasquatch suspension adds about a 1/2" lift over the Badlands suspension. And the Badlands suspension has about a 2/3" lift over the standard Bronco suspension.

Once you add in the differences in tire sizes, the Badlands height is about 1.5 inches lower than the Sasquatch height. The actual height difference is of course dependent on the options you select—different options have different weights , which obviously can impact the load on the suspension and how high the vehicle rides. But it's about 1.5 inches.

I have a 2 door Badlands non sas with the 33” tires, it had the hoop step. My wife and I are both about 5’7” and we had a hard time getting in.. I changed the hoop step for Rockslide power step sliders, ( discounted on the BN site) and it’s great for both of us. It drops about 12” when you open the door. It’s an expensive add on, but protects the Bronco and easily accessible.
