All for less travel than a badlands, kinda disappointing.

Yeah I don’t like how you have to run 1 inch wheel spacers with the stock wheels according to the fox manual.

Specs state:
Front coil-overs provide 4-4.5" lift with aftermarket upper control arms on base models and 2-2.5" lift on Sasquatch models.

How is that less than a Badlands?

Not so much of the lift, but the travel. I did not look these up, but the above poster is probably referring to that.

oh got it for some reason I was thinking lift.

don’t think there is much room in the CV angles for much more travel…

Badlands:
"Ford claims class-leading overall suspension travel of 8.7 inches front, 10.2 inches rear on the 33-inch tires."

likely referring to the post someone made at one point stating that the badlands and sasquatch use the same shock but sasquatch uses a longer bumpstop, so badlands has more travel.

The reality is there are more factors than just the travel from the shock, and even if that was the limitation, the shocks are not the same between non-sas badlands and sasquatch, the reservoir points the other direction on the non-sas badlands than it does on the sasquatch shocks. Also a non-sas badlands wouldn't have a rear swaybar, while almost all sasquatch models have a rear swaybar (except for early 21 models), which would affect flex/travel.

Badlands non-sas is somewhere right around 6.25" in the front of shock travel, I believe regular Sasquatch is 6.1" and these foxes are 5.42"

There is room for more travel, just not a bunch down. These seem to lack a little up and a little down. There would be other modifications needed to clear large tires if they wouldn't change jounce so most of these companies are giving us 1/2-1" higher bump point to better clear a 37 or larger "out of the box".

Interesting.. I wonder what the travel is on the WT Hoss 3.0 Fox shocks is.
