2017 Silverado Help

[Leftridgec4]

Hello guys. I know this has been asked a million and one times but I seem to be getting no where and the threads seem to turn into more arguing and debating then facts and resolutions. Please be nice as I have knowledge of mechanics but not modifications. I currently have a 2017 Silverado 1500 z71 with a 2.5 rough country lift level kit(RC is garbage I know). I’m looking to lift it 4” this summer. I will be doing it myself with my father in law as he is a master mechanic and I know my way around a truck. I would like to run 33’s with 20 inch rims. In your opinion is a 4” rancho or a 4” BDS the best route to go? I am avoiding RC for the angles and I want quality (you get what you pay for) and I do not want to have issues down the road if I can prevent them now with the extra $ although I am not a millionaire. So my questions are any experience with 4” BDS OR 4” Rancho and which is better and any issues? Any advice on a 4” lift with 33” tires and 20 inch rims?(how will it look?) Thank you all for your help as this is my first truck I am modifying ??

 

-(silver rims were dealership)

-(black rims are after 2.5 level on it)

I’ve got no experience with Rancho kits but I have a 6” BDS coilover conversion kit and I could not be happier with the quality of this product. The engineering behind the knuckle, sway bar drop, etc is phenomenal. The angles are amazing and the truck rides better than stock (although the coil overs have most todo with this). You won’t be disappointed in a BDS suspension system, they are top of the line products.

I have no experience with the Rancho kit, but I have the 4" BDS with 35's on 20x9 wheels. It is slightly, and I do mean slightly, stiffer than stock. I'm very impressed by the ride and handling from this kit. This is my first lifted truck, and if I were to do it again, I would go back to BDS without hesitation.

Out of those 2 I would go with BDS over Rancho

It will look great. Here is my truck with 4" Fabtech and 33x12.50R20

How is it garbage?  Is it because someone told you it was?  For every one person that's had an issue you'll find 5 that haven't.  I bet you have no issues whatsoever with your RC level.  Its American made yet you say it isn't good quality?

 

Your post is confusing

I have the 4” lift by RC
If you get the shackles you’ll maintain pretty good angles
I currently run 22x14 on a 33 MT tire and am very impressed with how it rides
