[JZZ]

When you build out the BL you can add the 4.7 ratio at no cost without adding the sasquatch package. There have been many threads going over the lift difference between the two. From all the discussion it looks like it is closer to 1/2" lift with a bump stop on the sasquatch. Most believe it may just be stiffer springs getting this 1/2".

I have read quite a bit on here and this is where my knowledge comes from. I think the difference is negligible between BL and sasquatch. I like the look of BL on 33" tires. There will be more wheel travel with the 33". BL seems ready go from day one with all the bash plates, sway bar disco and basically squatch suspension. If I like the looks of 35" or need them I think it will be an easy add. The rest of the BL extras won't be as easy to add.

Had been leaning towards BB but after seeing interior pictures started looking at BL would consider BD but really wanted upgraded LED lights thanks for your input

I know this is has been talked about but I cannot find the thread. Based on what you are saying, you can add 35's with the BL suspension without getting the sasquatch package? Do you need to add the 4.7 Locking Rear Axle Final Drive Ratio?

Nope....can't get 35s without Sasquatch, but CAN get 4.7 ratio with 33s on Badlands.

A good rule of thumb is always go with the highest gear ratio numerically. 4.7:1 equals 4.7 turns of the driveshaft to 1 axle rotation. In simple terms that is applying the most amount of torque or applied pressure to the ground.

Sorry, I wrote that wrong. If I add the 2.7 and keep the 33's stock wheels, can I add 35's after market. Would they fit with the BL suspension?

I spend entirely too much time on here. I have no real knowledge but there are some pretty smart people in the forums. I believe that you can but without the bump stop and 1/2" lift there may be some rub at max travel. May also require a modification to the crash bars. I have not been able to find out definitively if crash bars are the same on sasquatch.

Where did you find this info? Std. Mid pkg. That would be a smoking deal 42k pick a color, tell ford start building them just like that. That's it pick a color. Pay more if you want auto. Done deal

Mid is still an option, but it appears, based on build and price, this is the only model to make mid available with the 2.3l manual. You do lose remote start, if that matters to you.

I played around with B&P

Optional wheels and tires cost $1690.00 That is $805 less than sas wheels and tires which could just be the cost difference of (5) 35" tires ( $161 each) meaning no extra cost associated with sas, ie suspension costs. To me it means components are the same.

These are the otional squatch wheels and tires. Note it doesn't say you need the squatch package. It only shows tire and wheel changes.

The BL B&P used to show adding squatch only cost $2495. Recently it showed that the 10 speed AT was required. I am not sure when this happened. So is the BL no longer available with man squatch?

Here is adding squatch package from the bottom of the B&P.

Bottom line for me is the BL is basically squatch without 35" tires.

Adding the optional 33" beadlock-capable rims doesn't force the M/T tires. It's still unclear if this is a bug in B&P or if you can keep the A/T tires with the optional wheels for $995.
