obviously i dont know anything about lifts haha. thanks for the help. when i first saw lift kits i
thought i could just install it and go for ever. but when you really look at it. there is a ton of work involved. so if im spending about three grand you reccomend something else then bds? i had heard good things about them..
im liking the evo lift. could i do a 1 in body lift leveling kit, or would that not work?

There are a lot of different components that go into running an efficient/effective suspension while keeping your steering dialed in. I would recommend just spending some time going through and reading about different suspensions.
I agree, I have heard a lot of good things about BDS, but I have heard some people have issues with them trying to warranty their stuff. Granted, I am only speaking from word of mouth. I have never ran any of their kits so I can't speak directly to the quality of it. Plus, a lot of the sponsoring manufactures around here such as Evo, Full Traction, Teraflex, Rock Krawler, look out for us guys on the forum and give us great advice when we run into situations, and they all make awesome products.
It's your lift...but you could consider doing a 4'' lift and see how you like it. If in the end you need to go taller you could either get a body lift or add some coil spacers on top of everything.
Just realize that if you go too tall, you are probably not going to park in a lot of public garage spaces as most of them top out around 6'8''-6'10''.

if you get a 4" kit or a leveling kit you can always add a body lift if you want. I have a 1.25" body lift from RC great price and works great for me just watch your thumbs when installing it haha
just do some research around the forum and go from there before you blow your money and may end up not being happy

Most Long Arm kits you will have to cut off your stock brackets and then bolt or weld on the new Long Arm brackets. So unless you are pretty good with tools than it maybe better to get them installed professionally.
