I don’t know why people think you need a lift in order to run tires that the Sasquatch can run.
Unless you change bumpstops, a lift doesn’t change anything.
Either a wheel well has room for the tire or it doesn’t. You either have enough space to clear the suspension components or you don’t...
Nothing counterintuitive at all if you step back and consider what’s happening.
Larger tire sizes are like changing a final drive ratio. You have worse acceleration, but a higher speed at any given RPM.
The aerodynamic changes are limited here given the modest change in ride height.

I’m fortunate in that my daily commute involves 6-7 miles of dirt/gravel roads.
There are times where the ride is actually better than on some of the poorly paved roads we have, and certainly much better than sitting in bumper to bumper traffic!
While these roads could be travelled in a...
I wonder how quickly I’d get them pock marked from gravel.
Even with Rokblokz XL long flaps, the front edge of my rear flares are rough from gravel strikes.
Not universally true, but perhaps true for many.
If you want a bit of a lift and to be able to run bigger tires, getting it from the factory that way is the best choice.
And as I understand it, the Fox ones are smoother over rough stuff, but don’t have as much travel.
So basically, the question is what type of off-roading. For crawling, the Bilsteins might be better, but for other uses the Fox will be better.

Just did a road trip - 350+ miles each way, and it was fine. Not as good as a Volvo, but it’s better off road than our Volvo was.
Fuel economy is worse than our 4Runner was, but I like the seats better and the performance is far better. Cargo capacity and back...
I’m poetry in motion when I get in..although it’s pretty bad poetry.
I’ve gone with PPF on the doors and Rokblokz mudflaps. They’ve done well, although nothing can prevent the random rock that I’ll fling up and hit my own windshield with.
Visiting family and totally forgot to bring a footstool to help my aunts in and out of the Bronco.
First aunt says she doesn’t need steps, and using the built in handle and the paracord handle I installed climbs in with surprising ease.
She’s 83 years old, and not much above 5’ tall.
