Improve Sasquatch handling

[23OBX2.7]

I can do double clover leaf round about posted speed in my OBX Hoss2 with winter tires DMV2 and fairly quick directional transitions with way less drama than even Hitachi coilovers.

The Ford Performance B&C brace probably helps a lot...

So you now own a vehicle that has been designed for off road use and you want it to now tighten up its on pavement performance? My honest opinion is you have the wrong vehicle. You will never get the Bronco to preform well on pavement at speed. The whole design of the vehicle is for off road use. You have purchased a vehicle that is gonna be adaquate on road, but will excell off road. Good luck. Everything you do to to "fix" the on road issues will negativly effect off road and you are very limited due to the design of the vehicle. Sell it and find something else.

2 door Sasquatch and I feel the same way...floaty. But, I have always driven half ton pickups. Took some getting used to the lighter weight and short wheel base. It would be nice to firm it up some.

Are you guys talking about steering feel /wandering, or vertical “float” over bumps, etc?

Floaty is how I would describe my late grandpas old Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, but never my Bronco w/ Sasquatch. I dropped from 39 to 36psi to ease up on the ride stiffness a bit.

Glad you didn’t get a jeep. Talking about floaty, mine was all over the place.

Man maybe I just don't know any better, but my 25 Badlands Sasquatch 2.7 drives and handles awesome! Like a sports car/luxury ride! But then again my daily for the last 9 years has been a 2500 Silverado 6.0 gasser, but it is a High Country, kept it for truck stuff

It's always so fun trying to figure out/argue subjective topics.....

OP, seems like you didn't test drive prior to purchase? Or you purchased something different than you test drove? If you really want some help, you need to come back, and provide a lot more context.

Explain floaty.

It’s the opposite of sinky

Floaty is best defined as the feeling of driving anything with huge chrome bumpers and fins on the back

























float

Why sell when you can spend $2K on different wheels and tires and have a reasonable stable vehicle?

Its a DOT passenger vehicle.....big wheels and tires ruin the handling of civics through to Mustang and Broncos and everything else.

It’s such a subjective thing. I do know that every time I drive my bronco to work on a 50 mile commute of twisting back roads and a state highway with roundabouts I never cease to be amazed at how crazy good the on-road manners are for a stock truck with 35s.

My 24 4Dr Badlands handled great, upgraded to HOSS 3.0 FPP kit which includes sway bar, it drives like it’s on rails now

My 2024 factory Badlands Sasquatch handles exactly like my two cars…

My 2024 factory suspension Wildtrak with no front swaybar handles better than my wife’s 2024 Wildtrak with slightly modified suspension and no front swaybar.

Engage the front differential, that'll tighten it up for ya.










just kidding dude... don't.
