Default BDS Lift Kit Opinions?
Found a 3 inch BDS lift kit with full leafs... for a good price.

But Id like some opinions or reviews before I pull the trigger on my purchase.
I am especially interested in their shock quality, and leaf stifness/ ride quality. But any reviews or opinions on any lift kit is welcome.

BDS makes quality stuff. I have a pair of BDS rear shocks and I'm very pleased with them.

You can't get better than a BDS lift. They're amazing. Good ride, really nice flex, and....transferable lifetime warranty!

I dont think its transferable... from their website

If you are the original purchaser of any BDS product and it breaks, we will give you a new part. Period.

I have a BDS 3" and I LOVE it. Super flexi, and I beat the hell out of it, and it hasn't let me down.

Hmmm, a friend of mime bought a jeep with one and they still honored the warranty. They may have changed it since then though.

BDS is the Ferrari of lift kits. If you can get a good price for full packs, do it
