BDS LEVEL.. Have you used it?
FIRST POST ALERT!!!
I just bought a 17 f250 PS platinum (hasn't even got here yet).
Looking to do a leveling kit... Seems like the BDS with fox for $760 is about the best deal i've found. Thats where I'm leaning.
I realize the Carli and Icon are great lifts, just a lot of coin to drop.
Anybody Install the BDS and wish they would have went with something else?

I've got the BDS with Fox shocks on mine. Plenty happy with it, and it also comes with the new eccentric cams too add the caster back in that you lose by lifting the front (goes in upper ball joint)

Looks great - I think one inch is just right. I ordered the heavy service front springs(truck has not arrived yet) and would imagine its sits slightly higher than normal spring rate. I think the slight rake looks best! Did you install it?

I considered doing the 1" front kit and swapping out the rear blocks to get it level and get the bed height down at the same time, since this trucks main use will be towing my Montana 5th wheel. I haven't installed my B&W turnover ball yet, once that's done and I see how my clearances work out I may end up swapping the 2" out to a 1" and rear blocks.
That being said I'm really happy with the stance with the 2". It still has a slight rake.
