6.2 lifts.

Who out there is making one? I emailed Fabtech to inquire about theirs and they said they had not made one for the gasser yet.

I know BDS makes one, anyone here run a BDS lift? I have never used any of their suspension lifts.

I would like to hear from those you who have run BDS stuff in the past before I hit order on this kit.

This is the kit I am looking at.

2017 Ford F250 / F350 4"" lift kit 1520H | BDS Suspension

4 inch kit, with fox 2.0 shocks, gasser coils and a carrier bearing kit.

Recommended tire size is 35's, but I am sure 37s would fit with others here fitting 37s on with nothing more than a leveling kit and a wheel spacer.

Though for offroad abuse 35s would probably be a better fit if you need to stuff the tires.

Are you asking about 4" or 6" lifts? I installed a 6" FTS (Full Throttle Suspension) with Fox 2.0 resevior shocks on my F350. Zero complaints thus far. It drives and rides excellent. I will be running 38's as soon as the wheels arrive.

Yeah, I was looking at your truck. I really want to see a 6 inch in person to see if I want to go over 4 inch. My wife already hates getting in my truck now, and all it has on it is a 3 inch lift.

If it were up to me, it would be a 6 inch lift, no doubt about it.

I was more asking what everyone thought about BDS lifts.

I built a lift from Fabtech, and damn that thing is expensive. I could get the BDS lift, with everything I want installed for the same price for just the kit on the Fabtech. Although 2 inches less of a lift.

With the 2017 being so new, I will probably wait around a year to see what comes out for it.

Right now the only people I see who have kits are FTS, Fabtech, Procomp, and BDS. Only company saying that their lifts "work" for the gasser is the BDS lift.

FTS doesn't have anything on their website except a pic of a lifted 2017. No pricing. Do you mind if I ask what their pricing is coming in at for the 6 inch lift? I see with their 05-13 models, their pricing seems to fall somewhere between ProComp and Fabtech.
