Anyone have any experience with this set up/35’s and towing ? I tow a half dozen times a year. The trailer is loaded around 6,000 lbs.

It is a very interesting kit. The instructions indicate no welding. It has an extended upright in front and requires zero-offset wheel. BDS has kits for the 2500 with air suspension also. Interestingly, they have 2500 kits that replace the single leading arm with a 4-bar linkage like the rear.

Does it really require 0 offset wheels? Those typically only come in 9” wheels...not wide enough for 12.5” wide tire imo.

Have not done it yet, but got a quote for ~$975 for the install from a local BDS

Has anyone been able to compare this lift with rough country's? BDS version is 1k more, and I've been reading that rough country is making better parts than they did in the past. Thanks

Came across this Limited from a Google search with the BDS 4" lift, 22x12 wheels and 325/50-22 tires. Looks pretty good.

Hopefully there will be a YouTube video soon on this one. Wish there was just a two inch level lift like the mopar one for our air ride. Just want some extra clearance... might have to go with this 4”

I just spent an hour reading through that huge thread lol. I guess just wish there was something straight forward from mopar is all. But still need to do my own research on the daystar. I know I have a little bit of extra clearance with the off road group on my limited . Also wish they would have done a real one inch lift to allow for the off road 2 height lol.

Re: the Custom Offsets black Limited posted by SeaFoor:

Ya that does look awesome. I wonder if the ride height in the pictures is one of the highway speed driving heights ?
