Thinking about lifting my truck and have been looking through this thread. Seems like BDS, Zone, and Pro Comp are the better choices.I priced a Pro Comp kit and it was $2800. A friend of mine just ordered a Rough Country kit, but I have seen mixed reviews from some of the members on the forum. I asked why he chose RC and the answer was he had one in a previous truck. Any insights on which brand would be helpful. I don't want to purchase a cheap kit for a fairly expensive truck if you get what I mean and I really don't want a kit that is inferior as well.

I spent over a year researching lift kits for my truck, I felt the same way. It's an expensive truck to put a crap lift on. Everyone has there own opinion on every different lift. Friends of mine who have went with rough country all have problems with squeaking and noises. There will be people on here who have had better experiences with them. That being said I finally went with BDS for quality, an amazing warranty and overall reputation. I wanted to stay away from kits that primarily used spacers, plus you have the option to upgrade to fox coil overs with bds. My angles are all close to factory specs with them also. I can't comment on ride quality or anything long term yet since it's so new but overall I'm very happy with my decision on bds. I'll have pics next week when the weather clears up and I can get some good ones lol

Thanks man. Really interested in your review of ride quality. Your set up is almost identical to what I have in mind. I totally agrees with you on not purchasing a cheap kit.

if stay with a bigger brand kit company you should be good. I do think BDS and Zone are probably two of the best choices. I've also had superlift, but I'd never run them again

I'm happy with how well my bds kit has went together so far, I'm just hoping it performs long term up to its reputation. I'm very pleased so far.

I have 70,000 miles on my 7-9" McGaughy lift and haven't had one problem. I wish I could find some performance shocks to go with it though. 562888d9526b4652f9c87eb78a5605d1.jpg74a645aa905dd01574cf1c2997e29e4e.jpg

Installed my lift in nov 2015. No issues with it. Rcx bracket lift. Angles are kept stock. Wheel track is stock. I see no issue with the build quality of this kit. Spent 1000 dollars for it. Installed myself. Only downfall i see is there is quite a bit of cutting. But the end result is great. It also came with full skid plates.
