I have the 4in superlift, BD is the same just 1in less lift. I did get TF lowers to fix my caster and a jks rear adj trk bar. Plan on going with all TF control arms when I get an EVO coilover for the frt. I do like the beefiness of TF stuff compared to superlift , thats why I'm going to get there contrl arms. If I had it to do over I'd get one of the TF kits and add on from there. Right now I've got a Frankenlift. Had to add a 1 3/4 in spacer to the rear cause I carry alot of weight in the back. Think the Tera springs woulda been better for the weight.

black diamond is a basic lift. I have had it on for 15k. Its awesome I love it. and you asked for pics, well here they are. only thing I have changed is the trackbar bracket. to teraflex HD bracket. that bracket is awesome.

Also, the unlimiteds get over 4inches of lift from this kit. I have had no problems with my driveshafts, but I dont disco the front.








the lift itself
Teh rear coils


Front coils


The powdercoating is nice, it has held up to a very harsh and salt and liguid deicer winter.

The trackbar is heavy as hell. its superlifts HD bar.


It has a solid mount on the frame side and heim joint on the front. (this is what sold me on the kit)

And some shamless plugs

I am considering the BDS or Teraflex, I was going to do 35" tires, but leaning towards 33" since it is a daily driver and I could easily fit them under a 2.5" coil lift

I have the BD 3" lift and I'm happy to a point. I would upgrade the shocks (maybe to the OME long travel) and get a drop bracket for front trackbar. I have had some tracking issues due to the joint on the axle side wearing out. Other than that. its fine for an entry level lift.

with the 6speed you don't. I have the tera 3" on my 2 door auto. I lost my front driveshaft in the first 5 minutes I wheeled it. With the 6 speed you are good. Teraflex makes great stuff and has excellent customer service.
