BDS 2" Coil Spacers
I was just wondering if anyone here has any input or experience with BDS 2" Coil Spacers. I've been searching for info for the past week and finally run out of posts, so I figured I would start my own to get some more opinions.

A coil spacer lift would be the same from any manufacturer. Ride will be just a bit worse then stock. I would not expect the shocks to be much better then stock either. Low budget kit that gains you 2". Not much really to talk about. The sticker will be cooler then say pro comp or rough country.

I've been very pleased with my 2" BDS. Very affordable and great ride quality since it uses the factory coils. I also added the steering stablizer and later added a body lift. The combo does great off road and as a daily driver.

I have an AEV 2" spacer kit on 2014 rubicon 4doorand the ride is 100% stock both on and off road. That is good if you think stock rides good, bad if you think stock rides bad. I think it rides great. My 2013 jku had a Tera flex performance coil kit and it road great too but did not give close to advertised lift (1.5") after it sagged shortly after install.

I've had a spacer lift and the ride is similar but it isn't 100% factory, it's not possible since the spacers change the geometry.

That is physically impossible and unrealistic. The coil spacer sits on top of the coil and changes the impact/ load transferred to the coil. Furthermore, the coil is now preloaded differently than it is out of the factory.
