6 Inch Lift Questions

[Tbow2025]

After talking to the shop so more today they think the BDS kit is the way to go. Main reason is they say the steel BDS is better and a thicker gauge. They also like that the front diff is more protected via its placement a little higher in the lift. Any thoughts on these points?

BDS has two 6" kits. This is the pricier one:

I think this is the kit I want.

Also compare anything you can find with ride quality with springs/struts between the two. If it has no articulation and rides like a lumber wagon you ain't gonna like it.

The thicker gauge metal is a selling point.

The differential being higher better because it sits higher, depends on what the joint angles are on the CV shafts. Too sharp of an angle will decrease CV joint life.

85_Ranger4x4 has a point on researching what the ride will be like with these kits.
