In having a 6 " BDs lift installed in the next 2 weeks. It comes with thier standard shocks or able to upgrade to Bilstiens or whatever I decide. It would be a bit cheaper to do now... Or I can just get the lift and tires and install shocks later if the shocks they offer in thier 6" lift will do...

Any help and ideas will be greatly appriciated

I have their standard shocks and haven't had a problem. I'm actually quite pleased with them. If price isn't an issue, go with Bilstein.

It is $100 per shock for the Bilstein upgrade....priceis always an issue. im up to $5000 for tires, wheels and lift.

Bud, I have the upgraded shocks from BDS, the ones made for them by Edelbrock. I can say tat i like them very much, but when I got them with my kit 2 months ago, they were only $50 extra each, not $100 like the bilsteins.

 

I would not have gotten upgraded ones if they were $100 extra a piece, that is A LOT of cash.

I agree. they told me about the Edelbrook shocks...that may be the way to go.

When I got mine I got the upgraded gas shocks and braided brake lines for an extra 200.00. Don't know what kind of shocks they are though, I guess the Edlebrock's yall are talking about. Mine rides great. I really don't notice a difference from when it just had a level kit on the truck.

But if Blackout says the standard shocks are good they probably are just fine.

If you're looking to save on some cash get the the standard shocks IMO.

Hey lackout... you always had the dominator steps?

I figure if I stay with standard shocks I can get the Dominator steps

tit for tat... or something like that.. :lol:

Yes sir I have, and that is definately a good way to look at it. Maybe it's because I had Rough Country rear shocks before I put the BDS on, but to me they ride great!

if your payin $5000 for lift/wheels/tires i REALLY hope that includes install, and IMO your overpaying for something. I paid $1800 SHIPPED for my superlift with superlift front coilbodys, bilstein rear shocks, and superlift leaf spring packs. i paid $2500 shipped for my wheels and tires with full lifetime warrentys on the wheels and tires and the tires are 35x12.5x20 Toyos and the wheels are XD Spys. with that being said i would definitely go with the bilsteins.

Yes that is installed with tpms and new allignment. 35x12.5x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers and XD Hoss wheels.
I think its a real fair price from a shop in my area that has been doing quailty work for over 20yrs.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
