    I'm pretty much sold on the Bds lift but what are the differences and why does Les Schwab use Fabtech?

    I've had the Fabtech on my 06' TRD AC 4x4. It's solid for sure but the one issue is their spindle reduces turning radius greatly. Not sure how the BDS compares to that. I went with RCD on my 12' and love it

    Only reason I like bds is you order it with fox shocks which are easier to rebuild and tunable . I've ridin in both fab tech and procomp lift there coil overs are a little to stiff my opinion

    fabtech is a great kit the only draw back i know of with it is that the design of the knuckles makes it a biatch to change the lower ball joint. bds from a shop owner i know is the best of the drop bracket kits. there all good i would stay away from rough country however. every kit has its drawbacks.

    I've had a friend that's driven a fabtech tacoma and he said my trucks smoother and has a better turning radius. But It could also be because of the king shocks I'm running too
