.24 difference in gearing means literally ZERO to me. And I'm not sure it should mean anything to anyone else, either.
WTF is a kilometre!?
I did the same! I have obsessed over this for a while. I really like it both ways. There is something really nice about the stock non-sasquatch badlands. My original order was sasquatch which I’m still waiting on. I did order the sas fender flares but had to send them back because the distributor just threw them in the box and they were all scratched up. New set should be here next week but I really like the look without them.The non SAS Badlands wheels and tires are really nice.. Granted I had the optional bead lock wheels. I think the tires are a little better than the SAS ones. And I actually like the beauty rings on the non-SAS better than the SAS ones. But that can be fixed with powder coating.
Buuuut I went to the SAS wheels and tires personally
I'm seriously considering ordering another Bronco to replace this one with. I'd really like the Lux package and automatic for the nifty off-road gizmos that manual can't do. If I do I'll be starting with the SAS package.
Switching from non SAS wheels & tires to SAS wheels tires is just swapping them in, but that slight different in suspension bugs me a little.
Course if Ford Performance ever releases their lift then any suspension difference would be mute as I fully plan to go to it as soon as I can. (unless I swap to a wildtrak with hoss 3.0...)
I really can’t tell a difference in mine honestly. Went from 33 to stock sasquatch wheels and tires.
I didn't mind the look without the SAS flares. Just a little bit of poke. But I didn't like the crud being thrown up against the car (and in the window if it was down) with the regular flares and sas tires. So I ordered the SAS flares direct from Ford accessories with the 20% off coupon. Best price considering the $7 shipping. One of them has a small mark on it, but not bad enough for me to return.I did the same! I have obsessed over this for a while. I really like it both ways.

SAS wheels/tires, standard flares:
Love the look and how Area 51 looks at nightDecent picture of a non-sas badlands on the Left and my Sas Badlands on the Right. Really not a major difference but it is a small lift and bigger tires from the factory with a warranty so that's the benefit of adding the sasquatch pkg.
Which tires did you choose with the optional wheels? Are you happy with your choice?I love my non-sas Badlands with the upgraded wheels. It's all personal preference but I think the 2 door looks perfect with 33s and the smaller fender flares. If it was a 4 door I might have been OK with sas since 35s and the wider flares seem to look proper to me on the longer vehicle. That and my wife has a hard enough time as it is getting inI also think pictures never capture the size as much as in person. I'm 6'3 and even with the stock height and 33s its a hop to get in.
