Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

Truck is looking sharp @TxJose!

I live in the area Mission Tx; just curious where did you get your BDS installed? I've been looking into a Zone 6.5 or Mcghauhys 7-9 and would like a reputable shop to do my work.

Thanks buddy!!

 

 

I got mine done in Amarillo since that's where im working right now... As far as a shop in the valley i wouldn't look anywhere else then Truck Toyz. They are across the street from clark chevy on old 83 and 10th i think. They have some very knowledgeable staff and know what they are doing. Call them up and ask around what they recommend.

 

That is where i was going to get mine done when i got time off work to go home but i got impatient and went for it.

Another place to go is Horacio with Big H Customs on Old 83 about 1/2 block west of Ware Road. It's the place with the huge lifted Excursion out front. He's been doing lifts for 20+ years. Might help compare pricing, lift brands etc...

Possibly also a good place to go now.

 

Back when i was in the scene Big H was just starting out and was just a drop shop but maybe now they do lifts as well.

 

It's not hard to talk to people at shops and know if they are full of it or actually know what they are talking about.

7" McGaughy lift 35x12.5x20cf42a51676b3f38b628f3dc86f6db93b.jpgb775ab86f9656b4f555a81189bdb0b36.jpg2a7521cf8bc04085e56e556e720e6290.jpgd58b3af851420d5dbe7898dc11f74f06.jpg

Love your setup man!

How is the McGauhy kit behaving? Read through this whole thread and over the first pages a few negative comments were thrown over this kit. But I have compared and noticed its the only kit that drops the crossmembers a full 7" to maintain great cv angles. Overall people prefer BDS and Zone but If Iam correct the 6 and 6.5" kits only drop the crossmember 4 and 4.5".

Thanks guys will definitely look into these places for quotes. I got the leveling kit done One Stop Shop from the Bert Ogden dealership recommendation; but at work my buddy's all go to TRUCK TOYZ for their lifts. Just gathering info to be ready when the savings add up for lift/tires/install

I really don't know the specifics but I love this kit, and the guy that does my alignments says he's never seen a lifted truck keep alignment like mine. I even bought a lifetime alignment and it has yet to be out. It's really tough as well. I almost hit a deer one night and ran off the road at 50+ mph and hit a ditch and I was sure that it bent something but it didn't. I really have not had one bad thing happen with this lift. The only thing I wish was different was I wish it had a choice for high performance shocks. But I can't find anything for a 7"lift.

FTS has a 7-9" kit and fabtech is more of a 6-8" kit

Curious to know if anyone with a BDS lift or zone lift that also has amp power steps installed what the new height the step is at with lift installed. I run a RC 2" level the steps are ~10" when the step is out. I'd like it higher up or more off the ground.

 

Anyone have comparisons of a zone 4.5" and BDS 4/6" lifts side by side? Some pics look deceiving as far as how high actually truck sits. I'm 50-50 on going with a zone 4.5" or bds 6" i can't decide :(

      Gas Prices

      The "source" a woman, that writes the article is not a far right person. She's pretty well known "car person". She writes her own stuff, but yes it is initially posted under the Blaze, because they purchased the right to post it first, before it is posted on her own sites. It doesn't mean the info is any less valid. the article itself is not political It's not meant to discount any current actions in the Iran   Only posted the link because that's what has to be done to be legal to post the article. The Blaze is not a site I use. Lauren Fix's page pointed me there and I have to use a bypass method to look at the article since I'm not about to join the site. I've posted articles over the years from the Lefty sites, seems you didn't have a problem with that.   But you do you, keep looking at everything only through left/right lenses.   The 3 or 4 of you that participate in the some of the comments had ample chance to read everything. Other members that don't care for it, send in comments, because as they will point out, political talk is discouraged. Both "sides" complain

      Disable AFM for $0: The M5 Method for 6-Speed Trucks

      Would be cool if someone made something most people would like.   Like a plug in tune that is to the end users desire minus messing with the throttle petal factory settings. Sport, economy and WFOT.

      I don’t. The source is a far-right fake news site perpetuated by Glenn Beck. Funny how you clean up political posts and then regurgitate garbage from politically tainted sites.

      Not a distraction. You miss the point of the article. It's not just for today's situation. Another way AI is being used and it may explain some of the prices changes when there is no apparent event to cause a 25 cent jump out of nowhere, only to immediately, the next day, begin to drop by 2 cents and so on. These situations were happening before the Iran thing fired off.   I used to be in the retail gas/service business. Pretty much a $1 increase in WTI would increase my price by maybe .10 cents. Now WTI can go down and retailers can get hit with a .35 cent increase out of nowhere.   I thought it was interesting read, since this is being used on all products we buy now
