From what Ford said at the East meet, the Base, BB, BD OBX and WT all use the same suspension.
Ford just juggles spring weights to get the correct ride height going from a stripped 2D to a fully loaded 4D BD.

Shocks will get stiffer as the total rolling weight and tire diameter goes up.

This exactly how it's been done for the F150.
A basic 2D short bed F150 with the tiny tires will have weaker shocks and springs, and a lower ride height than a 4d Platinum long bed running on big rims and tires.
Ride quality would be crap if they didn't.

Anyone considering black diamond with hard top now? It’s cheaper than base squatch. At least we get a manual with the black diamond. Manual is my make it or break it. I’ll hold out to see what happens with base-man-squatch first.
I don't want mine until 2022 when I pay off my mortgage, so I put in a second reservation with @Granger Ford to get the killer October deal. Kind of like you, I am deciding between the two...

Option 1: 2-door base mansquatch with wiggle room in my budget for a couple of fun things like flip-down table, bikini top, etc. And a couple of after-market things like window tint, tow-hitch.
Option 2: Black Diamond with not one-penny of anything added except the tow hitch.

I do have an early reservation (July 21) that I did not cancel yet. I am hanging onto it for "emergency" but if I get the Bronco too soon my budget is only base manual with nothing added whatsoever.

I put in my reservation at granger last night. Figure I could take a trip out there with the family and drive back having a good old time. I’m just really undecided now with the base fiasco, now there is rumor white top is coming out in 2022. Who knows maybe even X-plan will be back. I’m starting to lean towards BD with a few options or BB with a lot of options. The squatch novelty is starting to wear off on me, I know I’ll never use it to it’s full capability but I still want it.

Did you notice that it didn’t charge for the 10spd automatic with the Sasquatch package? It says “included” in the $4999

Actually I noticed the same thing, looks like a bug to me, hopefully doesn’t result in a price increase!

It charges you for the 10 speed if you look at the actual total price at the end. $4195 is the raw price of sasquatch accoring to B&P. With the 10 speed at $1595, the total of Squatch with the 10 speed is that $5790 figure that the B&P shows in the pop-up after adding it.

Ford failed to show that in the price breakdown from what I can tell.

Got my plates back in July. I think they're going to look good on the Antimatter Blue.
Always knew I was getting a Base!

We are on the same page. I have not played with anything yet, but I just want a manual and cloth seats. The base has a different steering wheel correct? Does the black diamond have any advantages to the base? I am not picky at all the only option that I car about is the manual.

Is the Base or Black Diamond the best options for us manual fans?
Plusses and minuses to both...
Black Diamond stock with no added options is still a chunk more money than Base Mansquatch. You'd have to decide if any of the BD stock features are that important to you, like...
Steel bumpers, vinyl seats, uncarpeted floors, window tint, rock rails, aux switches, leather steering wheel and shift knob, slightly bigger steelies.

BD comes with rear lockers and bash plate standard, but Base Mansquatch with have that for a lot less money if that's the only stuff you need. BUT, Base Mansquatch is said to be late availability, so BD if you can't wait longer.

Before I order I really want to print out the spec sheets of exactly what each one comes with.

Mine shows Sasquatch as $4995, with a total change of $5790. I was under the impression the $795 discrepancy was from the upgraded transfer case.

Yup. Just go on your DMV website. I can use them on my current car if I want to, and transfer them to the Bronco after I get the VIN, when I register it.
