Ive been researching and looking at lifts and in stuck on 3 brands which i need hel choosing which one.

I plan to get a 4.5 short arm and dont plan on upgrading anywhere in the near future.

The kits are

BDS
Clayton
Rock Krawler

Ofcourse all would be the full leafs and not add a leafs only problem with this with the research ive done the rock krawler kit doesnt come full leafs so id get the leafs from clayton.

Also either pick would be going with either fox or bilstein shocks and steering stabalizer

Thanks on everones .02 in advanced

no rdplz

personally I would go with BDS mainly for how good they're warranty is - no questions asked what-so-ever. If anything breaks or fails, for whatever reason, they replace it. For the money you're spending though, I wold highly suggest a long arm set up. You'll thank yourself later. I wish I had gone with a 4.5" LA set up from the get go.

Also im pretty sure all have the same warranty if ur the orignial purchaser only thing all kits dont cover is items that get worn overtime

no rdplz

Like I said, BDS, they don't ask. If they make it, they cover it for the life of the original purchaser. Don't matter if it's broke or worn.

I like the looks of Clayton, I love how my RK long arm has been great to me and I have no clue about BDS.

RK is my vote.

BDS Suspension Co. warrants to the original retail purchaser that its shock and stabilizer cylinders are free from defects in material and workmanship for so long as they own the vehicle. Excluded from this warranty are the finish of the product and mounting bushings. Defects in material and workmanship do not include such things as dented cylinders or bent rods caused by obvious side impact, rust, worn or deformed bushings. A shock absorber is a wear item and over time will experience diminished damping resistance due to normal component wear. This is not a defect in material or workmanship and is therefore not warrantable.

BDS Suspension's obligation under all warranties is limited to the repair or replacement, at BDS's option, of the defective material. Any cost of removal, installation or reinstallation, freight charges, incidental or consequential damages are expressly excluded from these warranties.

I stand corrected. Just looked at it too. They changed it from a few years back then. They used to not have the wear part in it. Good to know.

Yeah i thinkthey just advertise it more and people buy it just for what they did years ago

I run Clayton 3 link long arms and they are great. They are definitely quality stuff.
