Default Bds 3"

Hello all, today i pulled the trigger on a bds suspension system. I hope I made the right decision. The installation is next week by OK4WD in stewartsville, NJ. Any advice , tips or pointers I should be aware of?

Thanks to all who replay!

I have the 3" BDS and like it, I have the Hydro shocks and should have gone with the gas ones. I think the ride wouldn't be as stiff. I got almost 4" out of that lift with a 4 door. Good luck.

Did ya'll use the cam bolts on the front control arms or not? Did you just buy adj control arms? What about the rear drop down sway bar bracket, got a photo of that installed?

all you need is a 6 pack a buddy and some tools and you should have a blast.

Just take your time if you run into any problems just take a step back and have at it again.

I have a friend interested in this lift and that's the reason for my above questions. The kit says it comes with cam bolts for the front control arms. That, I don't like. Then, instead of new, rear sway bar links it has a rear drop down bracket for the sway bar. I don't understand this as sway bar links are pretty cheap.
