BDS Suspension System

Just wondering if any of you guys who have had the BDS suspension lift installed including the rear spring have had any regrets or second thoughts about the performance and ride of this product? Anyone running their 4" with 35's? I am considering this setup with fox 2.0 with quad front and dual fox stabilizers. I've read a lot about the v code and b code mod springs. What am I giving up if I don't go with those and choose the BDS system instead?

I am having the 4" installed next week. I am getting the full leaf set front and back, no block. I went with the BDS shocks, singles all around, and I am getting the BDS dual steering set for up front. I am already running 35's on the add a leaf setup, I hope that with the new shocks, I will see an inch or two gain in height. With my current setup, there is a little rubbing on the leafs at full lock, and the previous owner trimmed the inner wheel well liner.

I will be posting pics of the setup once it is done (late next week).

I will be interested in seeing your new setup and more importantly your take on the new ride. I am trying to decide on the BDS or the lift from CT performance.

How much is the BDS kit. I ran one on my bronco and loved the quality of the kit. If I could have found a kit that gave me the lift I achieved for even close to the price I would have went that direction.

I wouldn't hesitate to do a BDS kit again.

The 4" kit that I am looking at is around $2800. I believe their base model 4" is around $1100.

I installed a 6" BDS on 37's couple weeks ago love it! Favorite looking and riding truck I've ever had. Highly recommend these lifts and no bulls*** lift time guarantee.
