which should i get bds 4 inch or 6 send post pics pls
Ok so to answer your questions:yea im thinking going with 4 inch lift. i have a rebel eco diesel with fox 2.5 coilovers, they told me i need bds lift kit 4 inch because the ecodiesels have ssomething shorter … i have the coilovers at stock height … no rub but one spot and it barely rubs… so i wanted to raise the coils about a inch more … they saying that would be the proper way to fix the rubbing …(i feel like they just wanna get me to buy the bds kit) now my question for you guys would be just raise the inch more ?
get the bds 4 inch lift and coil overs ( which they said the ones i have would be no good anymore and need to put a hat on top ) so i should just buy ones that come with the bds kit
or just do a 6 inch lift
i feel like 4 is good for the off roading i do ….
also
i also kinda like the 37s on 18s 🥹
ahhh i saw what you meant now i should just get the 6 inch lift then it comes with the coiloversOk so to answer your questions:
1) Why don’t you just trim where it rubs?
2) No you don’t “need” the BDS kit, you can either adjust the coilovers or put a top hat spacer on for an additional one inch lift for a total of 3.5”. Just make sure to buy aftermarket upper control arms!
3) The BDS 4” kit is not offered with coilovers, but if I were you & already had the 2.5” ones then just put a 1.5”-2” spacer on top of them. It will ride the same and have the same performance as your current setup, just 2” taller. With this you should not run aftermarket UCAs.
4) I want to run 37s or 38s on 18s also. I think your best bet if you want to run tires that large would be to get the Zone or BDS 4” kit, use your current coilovers & add a 2.5” spacer on top, and do 37x12.50s. But with that you’ll probably have to trim also haha which is why I say maybe just trim your current setup and then down the road do the bigger setup
It’s a 2.5” diameter coilover but the shock & coil is longer obviously to lift itahhh i saw what you meant now i should just get the 6 inch lift then it comes with the coilovers
also i was looking and it shows with the 6 inch lift kit still they use the same size coilovers i have which is fox 2.5 dsc i think part number MPN#: 883-06-166
maybe they just use a bigger spring ?
ahh ok ok. so for the 6 inch lift i would be using that coilover… is the 4 inch coilver longer also?It’s a 2.5” diameter coilover but the shock & coil is longer obviously to lift it

Thanks man your truck looks great too! I’m surprised you can see the black wheels so well in the pictures. Maybe it’s because the truck’s gray so the camera isn’t picking up as much contrast. Because with my white truck I can hardly get the wheels to show up on camera lolMclovinnnnn, truck looks good. Ayoslickxd, here are some pictures of my 1500 with BDS 6" and Fox 2.5 front and 2.0 rear, running 35's on 20x10 -24. She’s dirty but I hope the pictures help with your decision.
