Have it....love it. Great ride on road and great flex off road. I just got the springs...no rear shocks from them as I already had Rancho's. BDS has been around for years, are a very reputable company and make products for a large amount of applications. The front springs give 2", the rear 1.5". I used one extra rear upper isolator and a 3 ring clevis up front and it came out just fine. If you do more than just the springs as I have I would recommend Al's Arms. |

I've heard amazing things about them, espically there customer support and there warrenty. I've been told by my local dealer that if I broke a part of that lift, my fault or not, they will replace it  I just wish they had a bit bigger lift, the daystar is 2.5" all around and cheaper, thats what I am gonna use probably.

A clevis lift up front and a rubber upper isolator in the rear should net you 2.5" |

I just installed mine a few weekends back. Cant complain about it. I would not use the shocks that they give you for the rear and just get something else. I did not do any extra things for the lift just went with the springs. Here is a before and after of my 06 http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... hp?t=34164 |

Thanks for the info guys. Keep it coming. Why do these things cost so little compared to Frankenlift and others? Is there that much of a difference in these components? Will these wear faster ie sag sooner than Frankenlifts (which I understand to be the best KJ lift based upon the postings on LOST)? Thanks |

I do believe that BDS coils have the same spring ratin as the OME MD coils so you wouldnt want to add a winch or bumper to them, I dont have a clue as to why they are so much cheaper, and really they arent that much cheaper I did my OME HD for $150 more which isnt too bad |
