I am very happy with my BDS springs. I got a solid 4.5" of lift. I am just going to go with the RC 1.25" BL. Did anyone put this on them selves? How difficult was it and did you run into anything out of the ordinary? Can't wait to be taller.

I self installed. Because of my lift I had to use a solid cinder block on top of my jack against the rubi rails to lift the sides up high enough. A high-lift would make the job a lot easier. Pretty straight forward install, loosen all bolts, knock off stock bolts and replace with bolts&pucks, then install, lower and repeat for the other side. Torque spec all the bolts, drive for 500miles and then re-check center mounting bolts. The directions that came with the kit were pretty well done. Should take 2-5 hours solo.
