I'm going to bump this thread....there are so few pics of anyone with the BDS 2.5" radius arm lift.

Anyone out there care to share their 2.5" BDS kit on a 2020+?

There are some photos online from sites that sell the kits. I'm the type who would do the 2.5" regardless of pictures just because anything more than that looks too much to me. 35's already look small in stock form, so unless going 38"+, anything more than 2.5" just doesn't look right to me.

I’m with this guy

i come from a 4” lifted super duty with 37s and can tell you it makes the truck a little less than ideal in some scenarios

i still love the look but with my current truck I’m looking to just add 1.5-2” level and the stock 3.5” blocks from a tremor. I already have 295/65r20s on the stock wheels and it looks great. Another 1.5 inches lifted and I think it’ll be just right.

My old kit was a bds 4” radius arm setup and I can say if it’s the same it’s a nice kit and would be perfect in 2.5” form

Don’t have the BDS kit

i installed a 3.5” to 6” radius arm kit on my 29.

i think this gives me more castor…which the 2019 f-450 needs…else, it wants to front end wander.

fox 2.5’s and dual fox 2.0 steering stabilizer with a fox 2.0 steering damper as well.

I changed my anti sway bars rods so I didn’t have to use drop spacers on the steering stabilizer.

not sure if you guys are saying your don’t the work yourself or is your paying for install.
