Default help me decide on a lift please

was goin pull the trigger on the 7" BDS but just got quotes on 6.5 FTS and 6.5 Showoff lifts. they are the same price but both cheaper than the BDS.

HELPPP!!! which is the better way to go. i am so unsure now. which is better quality and not a pain in the dick to install?

if your truck is 2wd and you are using lift blocks in the rear they are all going to be pretty easy.

mine took me 2.5 full days . a simple fabtech 8" 4x4 . but some fab went into it .

depending on what kind of ball joints / uniballs would be something i would look at as well as how far they push the front wheels out compared to the rear. running spacers to make it look right is not the best and towing with spacers isnt a good idea either.

on some of the kits you get what you pay for

have you looked into bullet proof? i deal with them for work and have bought alot of lift parts from them . call brian he will definatly give you a deal off msrp.
