I'd say average, it's not a very common lift, most common I see is skyjacker or superlift but from what I hear they are okay.

Warn owned Black Diamond but I heard they sold them. I've heard that BDS are excellent kits. Lifetime warranty even against springs sagging.

Good stuff. The warranty is great, but I don't love their shocks. Not bad, just not great.

Big Dick Suspinson? Full lifetime warrenty on all parts except for shocks, everything powdercoated, all hardware, good instruction's? Alls you have to do is find an authirized suplier of them and your set. Guy near my hometown can get kits at like 200 bucks under anywhere else. I belive they were a bunch of guys ho split from trailmaster becasuse they didn't like th way trailmaster was ging. I have done several BDS lifts and all where quality. Go for it!

You gotta tell us what all the parts are before we can tell you if it's a good price. I payed 1300 for my 6" skyjacker class II system. That one comes with the new rear springs and longer radius arms.

I have a 4" BDS system and it rides good. The price for mine was around $900 which included rear springs but not longer Radius arms just the drop brankets. The longer radius arms added about $600 I used Rancho shocks rather than the BDS ones. I like the lifetime warranty and all made in the USA was why I went with BDS
