    I recently bought the BDS 6" DB lift and am wondering if anyone has stats on the ground clearance the front diff has with 35" tires, and how it compares to other DB lifts. I mostly drive highway with trails and mud casually mixed in. Just wondering how much snow I will be clearing with my diff before I start shovelling.

    DB lift pretty much gives you no extra Ground clearance under the front diff vs stock. Hell it might even be less.

    Only thing thats gonna get you more front diff clearance is higher lower spindle relative to the frame, whether that be done by more lift, or a spindle drop, or taller tires.

    With 35's and that BDS kit hid diff will sit higher than stock.
