BDS suspension

Has anyone heard anything good/bad about BDS suspension lifts? I found them to be cheaper than Superlift, but would i be sacrificing quality for a cheaper mod?

BDS suspension

I know friends that have used BDS suspension systems and they never had a problem. Besides, they have a no fine print warranty, "If you are the original purchaser of any BDS product and it breaks, we will give you a new part. Period." I looked into getting a BDS suspension system for my truck, but where I lived they were more expensive than a Superlift and at the time they didn't have extended radius arms. I don't know how many people are aware of this but BDS actually stands for Big Dick's Suspension. I think they changed the name because it offended too many people.

BDS suspension

In researching information for my own 4" suspension lift a year ago, I had spoke with a stocking supplier of Superlift, BDS, and Skyjacker. The base components are all assembled and welded by the same root company. Obviously the supplier could not divulge the name of the parent company but to back their words, they produced a passenger side axle drop bracket from each manufacturer....um....they could have come from the same day of production to look at them.
