Is anyone running this system? Price wise it's right up there with the carli commuter but comes with radius arms. I'm leaning towards the BDS 2" with fox shocks but thinking maybe having the radius arms and the adjustable trac bar will keep me from having the alignment/loose issues some end up fighting with the shims? I'd rather spend the money on the 2" since I only use the truck for towing mostly so I don't need it to do anything off road (that's what the RZR is for) but don't want problems either because I went cheap. Or am I just throwing money away since the other kits don't seem to think it needs radius arms for a 2.5"?
I went with the BDS 2" Level Kit, which included the 4 new Fox Shocks. I tow as well. (44' Voltage Toy Hauler). Runs great with this level kit. Solid. 2" is plenty.

I think the 2" gives it a really nice stance, I think I've just read to many of the post's on here with people having alignment issues or feeling really loose that I'm over thinking it now. You've got a great looking truck.

Thanks. I recently bought it, and have been doing a lot of different things to it. From my experience, it rides great with the 2" BDS setup, plus you get 4 new Fox shocks. I was leaning towards the 2.5", but my mechanic recommended against it. I'm glad I took his advice.
I'm between the BDS 2" and the full on Radius Arm 2.5" I'd honestly probably go with the 4" RA from BDS, but the truck is primary used with a sled deck, so I don't want to go to high, so the 2 / 2.5 seems to be a great in-between.
Price is appealing for the 2", but I feel like you're getting the full meal deal with the 2.5" with less room for possible issues given you'd be running proper RA to accommodate the change. I know there are so many guys running just the 2" with some shims and no issues, nut I'd be the problem child with my luck haha.

Let me know what you end up going with.
By the way, truck looks great MBaldo.
Thanks for the compliment! It's been fun (and expensive ... lol) fixing it up over the past few months.
Thanks MadWaffle. I'd love to do the 4" BDS, but I run my stock wheels and tires in the winter, and that's pretty well half the year for me when they start laying the salt on the roads.
I think that's what had me on the 2.5 with the radius Arms in the first place, that and the replacement coil springs. I went with the ProComp spacer lift on my '13, and the ride quality decreased a nice bit up front after the fact. I found I done way more research this time around. ccBut if there's no big noticeable difference in ride I should be fine.
Going on this, with 35x12.5x20 on 20x9 +18 back on in the spring.:

I can fell a very slight difference in the front but I think it’s mostly due to the stiffer fox shocks but it is very small difference. I don’t have the really loose feeling some have reported and what had me worried about doing it. I wanted a 4” and 37’s but I use this to pull our toy hauler so I wanted to get the look but keep it functional for what I do with it and I think this was a great compromise. Truck looks damn big for only a 2”.
