I have the 3" BDS lift with 35" MTZ's and am very happy with it.

I went with the steering stabilizer upgrade and the gas shocks. The gas shocks are fairly stiff if that suits you. I would recommend the steering stabilizer.

Umm thats a bit pricey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Labor should be about 8 hrs only max

But it also depends on your tire and wheel combo .

You could easily do the lift yourself ...and youll feel alot better about it

Go to bds and order direct they are way cheaper. I bought mine from them I loved dealing with them took care of me and sent me a pm on another forum thanking me for buying from them.

a freind had 10 yr old BDS springs and they sagged... got in contact with BDS and they said, "bring them to you nearest retailer and grab some new ones"

10 YEARS LATER!!!... can beat that with a stick. from what i have seen they seem to be a decent lift. one shop up my way swears buy them

I have a 2" BDS Budget Boost lift. I got a package that included shocks, steering stabilizer. So far all of my mods for lifts and swaybar disco's are BDS. I too was sold on the lifetime warranty, no problems so far.... I also had tires put on at the same time, Procomp all terrains 33X12.50X17 and the toal price for every thing was about $2100 installed..... Good luck!!!
