Default Bds Suspension 6.5 Inch Lift

I can comment on the price Holy Moley (honestly didn't know how it was spelled, please forgive me)!!!


That's a lot of money.

Not saying it's not worth it, but Jebus Christ!

Good price. The long arm kits are time consuming. BDS is a excellent kit and the warranty is unsurpassed.

BDS is a really reliable company..........that said if you want a 6.5 you should go for it and see what happens.lots of pics if you have the money for allllll that than a minor problem down the line should be a quick fix

Definitely recommend you check out the RockKrawler systems http://www.rockkrawler.com/
especially since your looking at the bigger lifts. They just introduced their new JK coil over systems and JK coil over stretch systems which to date I've yet to see a comparable JK lift.

I like their 5.5 mid-arm 3-link rear trussed kit for $2k. I wouldn't let anyone install my lift, prefer my own work and I save a lot in labor. Your price quote is about average, little on the high side.

Default 6.5 Bds

Here is a pic of mine on the 6.5 bds. Love the kit and it rides great. The price seems about normal for a long arm kit. Mine was more than that i got the gas shocks and the dual steering stabalizers definently recommend the steering stabs they are awesome

I agree with the rest of the guys, BDS is a great company that makes great components and stands behind their parts. I had a S-10 ZR2 (pre JK ) with a 5" BDS lift. It was great. Perfect fit and rode great to boot. Here is a pic...



BDS gets a thumbs up from me.

I have the 2.5" BDS right now and have been very happy with it. But Ive been looking into the 6.5 long arm, and wanted to see some peoples input. Glad I found this thread.
