level kit for 2021 non sas badlands

[Mattyfly42]

im sure there are a ton of threads on this but can't seem to find to many. I currently have the stock ko2's and have the sas wheels already mounted. Time of rnew tires so was thinking of beefing up my rig. Want to put a 1" level on the front. And go up to 285/75/17 inch falken tires. want to see if anybody has this combo and what level kit they recommend. I have noticed most are running with the zone level. Also I have the 7sp man with the tuner on it. So any insight into handling etc would be great.

The RC leveling kit will do what you need pretty cheaply

Most folks hate on RC (and there are some good reasons to hate there) - but these are just some shims. Not much to it, no reason for Billet Demure Bespoke Aerospace alluminum

Yeah depending on what level of install difficulty you're looking for I would either recommend the Zone level like @Brian_B said, or personally I would go with the 1-in wild horses perch collar lift. Not sure if you have a winch on the front but either way I feel like it helps to stiffen the front end of these up a little bit. But requires disassembly of the strut.

Edit: Coincidentally I'm running both.

I still have the stock KO2's on 17x9s. I used the Rock Krawler 1" level kit.

Anybody running 34's with any issues?

I ran true 34s that were 10.5 wide and technically taller than the SAS goodyears with the Zone lift and no issues. This was with Badlands non-sas Bilsteins.

Save for a proper lift. You will get less uptravel and more unnecessary droop. Spacers are like push up bras.

I don't really follow that. Up travel is the same, the bumpstop is in the same place. And droop can be useful to keep the tire in contact when flexing.

I just bought a set of Radflo Standard Travel 2.5 coilovers (0-2" lift) for my non-Sasquatch OBX to run the Nitto g3 285/75R17 C on 17x8.5, +30 Heritage wheels. I was previous (currently) running 285/70R17 Badlands take-offs on the OEM Hitachi. I hope to have all this installed by September 1. Let's compare notes. I like the idea of the less stressful 34's, since with my 4.27 axles, it seems like a perfect match for a non-Sasquatch. Isn't the non-SAS Badlands also a lower gear ratio than Sasquatch?

 

[Mattyfly42]

I have the manual so I have the 4.7 gear ratio and I already have sas wheels on. Just want to level out the stance and add 34’s. Don’t need a lift. So looking at the zone level. Seems like most people are running that.
