What is the best 6' suspension lift kit for a 08 1500 4x4?

travisboyd · February 24, 2012

BDS- $1,813

Fabtech- $1,913?

Zone(6.5inch)- $1,295

or any other y'all can think of?

or would the Rough Country 5inch for $999 be a better deal?

I'm sure a 6 foot (6' ) lift would cost a fortune! However those 6" lifts up there are good. If I did it again I would go with -Fabtech with bilstein 7-9" adjustables.

your asking a VERY subjective question HOWEVER if you want just a 6" lift then IMO BDS would be the best choice, if you want a bigger than 6" kit i would go with the fabtech with the bilstein 7-9" struts

Which one of these kits gives you a ride closest to factory?

I am considering putting a 6" lift in my 2010 silverado but am concerned about the ride quality , I have read a couple people say Fabtech is the best?

Thanks, Matt

anybody else who has had this kit installed in their truck??

i would not say fabtech is the best NOT AT ALL. it's a god kit, but so is the BDS and superlift. the bds with fox shocks will have a great ride. i have the bds 6.5" kit with fox shocks on my HD and it rides better than stock.

I take it you have a 2011 2500HD then... So your saying it actually rides less harsh than the original suspension did?

Wonder if I would get the same results with a 1500?

I've heard a lot of people are running th 5" rough country and using either a top or bottom leveling kit spacer to get more height, how does this effect the angles on the axles?

Another question is how much height could a person get with the adjustable bilsteins and the 5" RC kit? Enough to clear 35/12.50/20's? And how would the axle angles be?

I have an 06 with the 6" Fabtech suspension lift, Fabtech shocks and 325/65r18 Nitto. Everyone that rides with me claims that it rides like a luxury car.
