How to SAS a NON-SAS badlands

[lakesinai]

Probably your offset unless you got custom rims to go with.

Stock non-SAS offset is +55 and can rub a good bit like this without a spacer to push the wheel out a little bit.

SAS wheels sits about 1” further out on +33. Most folks will either:
Trim the liners or get creative with zipties
Small (3/4” to 1”) body lift or 1.5” to 2” tophat lift
Get a 1” to 1.5” wheel spacer
Get new rims (usually +18 to 0 offset)
Get SAS takeoffs for cheap

Yup. And there are many of us non-sasquatch Bronco owners who have bought those 17x8, +55offset Badlands wheels from non-sasquatch Badlands owners, to upgrade our 32" OBX wheels to 33" wheels. I've been running a set for over 3 years now without modification, they fit fine for beach driving. The guy I bought from went to a lower offset, about +25.

I would at least do a 1” spacer lift or 3/4” body lift on a non Sasquatch badlands to run 35”s…

Can just done a 1” front end level, change the offset, and remove crash bars. The cheapest way is to buy takeoffs and sell your 33s for about $1000-1500 less.

Another option is to buy 35s with 11.5” width, remove crash bars and skip the level. Shouldn’t get rubbing with a thinner tire.
