Very few run their kits....too expensive. You can be lifted and new gears before u buy their kit. They are not the only ones with a lifetime warranty though.

rough country one of the cheapest companies. In fact most big name companies have a lifetime warranty you could check there websites if you find a kit you like.

i wont touch Rough Country.
same to Rustys.
they sell some nice stuff here and there.
but lift im not a fan of ...

i've never had a complaint from my friends that run BDS kits... main reason wanting to go that route.
im sure i'd save some money going another route. but will see... ill do some more searching. but in the long run i may stick with BDS

Have a BDS 3.5" with OME Shocks... incredible ride if I may say so....
Stiff and still retains drivability on the road, handles great with next to no body roll... off road I have plenty of flex and never had anything break in 6 years manufacturally... I did snap a joint once (dont ask), but BDS was great about replacing it, no questions asked.
As you can tell, I highly recommend it...
When you touch their parts, you can feel quality (GIGGITY).... but as everyone else mentioned.... very expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

Yeah BDS def has Quality from what i've seen on my friends 250's and misc other vehicles.

if i go through them im getting the 6.5LA kit. i have to call them and chat with them about some more finer details.

but rough country heard to many stories... same with rustys.
its just piece of mind per say?

I install BDS for a living. I've done other kits and some seem light weight and bracket assembly heavy compared to BDS which is my shops main lift company. Once I can afford it, I'm getting their 4 1/2" long arm for my XJ.
