I have a 6" BDS lift kit. I had heard good things about them and they are made in the USA so I had a local shop put mine on and I love it. I know a guy who has a Pro Comp 6" and when we put our trucks together, my truck was higher then his. I have heard people say you get a "true lift" with BDS. Good luck

I paid 3,100 for mine but I upgraded on a few things. I think the kit started at 2,600 or 2,800.

BDS Lift here on my truck

I've got a BDS lift on my truck and happy with it. They have a good website which list out their prices and options. I paid just under $2100 for mine on a 2009 and the upgraded shocks.

I have a 6" BDS but its on a Super Duty. I got it with the rear leaf pack in the rear instead of blocks so the ride is a little rough, front rides about the same. I know this doesn't help you but just answering the "have you heard of" part.

I am torn between the BDS or the RCD. I am leaning towards the BDS b/c it seems to be a quality kit and I can get the true 6in height for my screw while I'll only get bout 4in w/ the RCD due to the torsion bars being shorter than an x-cab or reg cab. If it rides rougher w/ the rear springs then I'll get the blocks/add a leafs instead!

I picked mine up last night with the BDS lift installed. Very happy so far, not one complaint about the ride with the block/leaf combo.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Take a look at Trail Master. That kit includes gas shocks, which will give you a great ride.

The obvious first questions is "Where are the pictures?"

Gotta see it to believe it...
