BMS is not the best silvy kit, mazzulla is, it is cutting edge, anti dive removed, minimal bumpsteer through 20" of travel, designed by craig hall....who is one of the best

blitz is one of my favorites, but theres JD fabrication(4wd silverados), Mazzulla offroad for 2wd, blitzkrieg, Dixon bros, Camburg, H&M, all make good kits for the average person. not many like to beat up there DD to much.

x2. Def mazzulla for the best kit out there by far. Also one of the only companies that relocates the upper arm mounts which help a ton with the geometry!

All that kit, is a fancy upper arm and king coilovers and it does not lift the truck..and I could be wrong but to get rid of the bars we could just switch to coilovers and some adapters...im even thinking of the coild over struts like the 08 and up trucks have...

im gunna have to say mazzulla. that kit is BADASS. but realistically camburg blitz or mazzy, theyre all REALLY REALLY legit setups... and theyre all pretty close in price. and they all have their positives and negatives. in my opinion the mazzulla looks the best.
if you look at the three, they all look essentially the same, they all use 1.5" lower uniballs, they all use horizontal 1" upper uniballs, all have heim steering with billet clevis, theyre all very close, and all three of them are considered true race parts. i just like the mz kit for 2 reasons, the guy who designed it knows his **** end of story, number 2 is because it is the only one of the kits that has been imitated... and you know what they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

and about the brenthel 4wd chase kit, ive said it once on another thread and ill say it again THEY DO NOT MAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!! i spoke to jonathan at brenthel about a week ago cause i was considering ordering it and he told me it didnt work with certain offsets and no one was ordering it so it was disco'd
and the brenthel 4wd chase kit was 2200 cause it came with shocks. still a bit steep but not as steep as some of you have been claiming.
im working on coming up with a reasonable mid travel kit for my torsion truck. trying to build a raptor killer essentially. Going to do probably fox 8" travel coilovers in front with the camburg 6.5 2wd mid travel spindle, custom upper arm ( i would use camburgs upper arm but i want heim on pivot) with a custom lower arm using a 1.5" uniball rather then a ball joint. build some heavier duty heim tie rods, cognito pitman brace, deaver mini pack in back with some drop shackles, or camburg shackles and some double bypasses canti'd under the bed. raptors at that point can officially blow me...
