Default bds lifts any good!?!?!?

went into the local 4x4 shop today to get a pricing on a 3" lift kits, 17x9 pro comp wheels, and 35" toyo mt's. i told him i was thinking about the full traction economy kit to start out with but he recommended the bds lift to me. i havent heard much about this kit but a guy that was in there told me he just got his 07 done with this kit by this guy and he loves it. for everything including labor he quoted me $3319.48 and says he can have it done in 4 hours including a wheel alignment. would this be worth the cost???

Is that wheels, tires, lift installed? the lift itself is only about 700 bucks... install really isn't that difficult if you have the necessary tools and don't mind gettin' dirty. but all in all, I think it would be an alright price... but I'm in canada so for here it seems fair.

I'm very happy with the BDS lift. I've got the 3", and it's been great so far. You can't beat the no questions asked warranty on parts either.

I can't load one right now, but if you look at the Steel Blue JK's thread, some pics are posted in there (of stock and post-lift).

Default Shocks

What about shocks?? I have been looking and does this lift come with shocks? If not what do you guys recommend?

Thanks,

You will be very happy with the lift. The warranty is unsurpassed.
