I changed the tires to 315.70r17 Firestones. Same size as the Squatch Goodyears. Yep OEM Badlands special Bilsteins, with a 1.5" top hat spacer.
Measuring device is a Cornwell tools magnetic angle gauge.
If you're going for the look, grab some decent spacers and slap on some big meats. Shock spacers don't change ride quality, however they can possibly lead to overextending other components.
I'm running 1.5" shock spacers on my Badlands shocks, with a diff drop, so no worries there.
Squatch or...
What the sh#t is going on at B&P. These dudes are high. I haven't been on B&P for a minute.
Extra charge for regular paint. 995$ for Azure Gray? Interesting that the Sasquatch package gets a different choice of wheel.
My 22 BL spec'd for 24 is 6800$ more. This is nuts.
Hell's Revenge isnt bad. Plenty of bypasses for optional obstacles. The thing I had trouble with is visibility over the hood when cresting a hill. No front camera for me. Great views too. River lookout, dino prints.
Maybe start with some easier trails to get some experience first. Seven Mile...
Similar. Both Bilstein ESCV shocks, but the Sasquatch Bilsteins have a longer bump stop to prevent the 315's from contacting the fenders, while the non Squatch Badlands gets around 3/8" longer travel from the "special" Bilstein shocks.
Height difference between BL and any Squatch is 0.47"...
One benefit is more suspension travel. Probably about 1.5" give or take. Another benefit is some have external fluid reservoirs for better cooling, but thats usually for shocks getting a workout, like high speed stuff. Others, like the 4wp, Eibachs, are value. Adjustable ride height and...
That's a good idea.
Some old timers in the shop say factories use peanut oil to aid in running wires through the looms, adding to the delicious flavors.
Capsaicin laced wires.
New warning in vehicle schematics:
Wires hot at all times.
