BDS lift

Anyone running the BDS lift? input and comments please, how's the ride quality, on and offroad?
Thanks boys.

 

I'm not, but I'm sure someone has/is. Check out the suspension section, in there I think there's a bracket lift thread or 2.

 

Is this what your looking for? It's only been in the truck go 6 weeks and only Wheelin on the beach no trails yet. Ride comfort depends on many components! Front coils, rear leafs, any aftermarket UCA's . Then how much weight you have on the truck daily. My ride can change from day to day depending on how much of the heavy shit I sell is on board. I just had a new 3" setup 3 months before the 6" BDS went in so I kept the 5100's, OME 2886 coils, used the top hats spacers up front. Rear has my OME Dakars , Fox 2.0 shocks, and the 4" blocks in the kit! Rides great on the highway which I'm doing 1200-1500 miles most weeks. After the winter going with Fox Coil overs up front no more spacers!

 

you seem to have a taller stance than me, especially the front view picture, your LCA is angled downward as mine is more flat. I have the 6" BDS with the fox 2.0 rears and 2.5 coilovers. You have a taller stance, how did you achieve this? thinking the Dakar leaf pack in the rear is what hives it there but my front should be taller no? I want more clearance under that front plate soo bad! but to answer OP the kit is awesome, I have wheeled it pretty hard (no jumping or anything) but I typically go slow over the rough stuff. Works great, dives like a Cadillac, and gives confidence going over anything. After the lift I started really using the Tacoma. Recommend it if you want a DB, but get a LT if you can, I wish...

 

Mine rides like a fucking tank because of the no flex OME 2886 springs!! 7" plus front lift! My bumper is heavy with Line X on it, winch in it, high lift on it ! And still not much flex !!! 6" BDS/Fox coil over with reservoir going in this beast after salting of our roads is done!! April !!

 

Mine is pretty squishy which I love, do you have custom control arms to give that extra height under the crossmember plate? That has been bothering me so bad i have been looking into LT (too much $$ tho). Any pointers on raising that bad boy up?

 

My springs must have a higher load rating ! Giving me more lift! I just have Ricochet's LCA skids !

 

Or you have them adjusted more, maybe I'll crank mine up, and how soft is the rear?

 

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick... Did you really just reference JUMPING?

 

I did i did. Seems the LT guys are pretty into it haha

 

My spring perch plate on the Bilstein is at the lowest setting and BDS told me not to use the preload spacer! Rear setup is blocks and U Bolts supplied with BDS 6" and OME Dakars on top .

 

lowest setting means springs are giving more height, if I am thiking properly, down is tighter, tighter makes truck higher? When I pooch my leafs ill look into the OME dakars. Got lots of plans for thr truck but I only get paid every 2 weeks

 

I do most of my work myself so trust me when I tell you I know a little bit . You shouldn't compress the 2886 spring at all on the Bilstein strut! That's why BDS told me to leave the preload spacer out when installing them! If you have fox coil over 6" you might be able to. Call them and ask! Is the preload spacer in yours right now?
