a Fellow of mine is selling his old lift kit (basic BDS 3" lift ) that comes with four new Pro-Ride coil springs capable of full coil bind, bump stop extensions, front lower control arm cam bolts, front Ultimate Sway Bar Disconnects, rear sway bar drop brackets, rear track bar relocation bracket and BDS 5500 series shock absorbers.
He upgraded to 7'' lift and selling his old kit. Only 2 months old, never been offroad..
Price is good.. Should I get it or not.. Any feedback on this kit?


Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.. Sam

 

I'd avoid it for the simple fact of the front lower control arm cam bolts....

 

Can I substitude it with anything else though? Like front control arm?

 

If you feel the price is right..You can always purchase front adjustable control arms (upper or lowers) to replace those cam bolts. For the rear, I am not sure if your current rear relocation bracket is axle mounted or frame mounted. If it is axle, maybe you should get the frame mounted versions or a rear adjustable track bar (the axle mounts tend to break off w/out getting it re enforced)...Lastly, after your lift, your axle may shift..Depending on your preference getting adjustable track bars will help center them..All in all with these add ons are you still getting a good deal or would buying another lift kit with all the components mentioned above be cheaper...

 

Thanks alot guys..
Well the price is good.. Its only 2 months old and $400 from original $1000.
i was thinking to put front adjustable control arms instead of those cam bolts, since I`ve heard some nagative opinions on Cam bolts...
What do you think?

 

You might also consider not using the track bar relocation bracket and using adjustable track bars instead. It puts less stress on the existing brackets. There have been several breaks due to the use of relocation brackets.

 

nothing to add, but good advice

 

Thank you for help..
I guess Ill save up lil` more and get a new lift kit with adjustable control arms. =)
