Hello all, I've  been trying to fight the urge to lift my new truck and just level it instead.  But.. I would like to know if anyone has installed the BDS 4" lift on theirs and what are their thoughts on ride, looks, etc...  I hear BDS' ride quality is very nice so that is why I am leaning that way versus Rough Country...

 

Thanks in advance.

I recently installed the BDS 4" lift on my Sierra, it's awesome. The ride feels better than stock. A few years back my son had the 3" Rough Country lift installed on his 2013 Silverado, I wouldn't install that piece of junk on my granddaughters tricycle! Constantly having alignment issues and ball joint problems. Go with the BDS, you won't be sorry.

Been running a 4" BDS w/ Fox coilovers for over 3 years now. Fantastic quality and great ride. Love the stance and the fact that 35's don't rub with the factory offset. Just really really happy with the company as a whole and the stuff they make. I leveled my truck when it was new at first, ended up lifting it. Just lift it lol. You won't regret it, unless you go rough country.

RCX has significantly increased their QC over the past few years. I had zero issues with their newer kit on my 2010. Buddy had zero issues on his 16. They’re even better built for the 19s. I’ve also had a superlift on my 2010 and loved it, but they don’t have one for the 19s yet. BDS is always a solid option but don’t discount the RCX as being a cheap kit when they’ve definitely gotten just as good as the competition lately.

I had a 4” BDS on my 2014 Sierra 1500 about a month ago. I love it. At same time installed 275/65R20s on my stock rims. No rubbing at all. Added rear spacers to even track. 82ff0f23363855028b613712a89c91f4.jpga66d0f810dff16d482eb595b6efaedb1.jpg

This looks great!  Strongly considering doing this lift at some point...

I had a 4" BDS lift installed on my Trail Boss today and the ride is exactly like stock.

 

My lift is 6" total:

2" Trail Boss Lift + 4" BDS = 6" lift

20x10 -18 Fuel Mavericks with 35x12.5 Ridge Grapplers

sweet looking truck! I just got a 2019 High Country Silverado and I am between the 2" factory and the 4" BDS. Wondering what the total heigh with your setup is since I need to fit mine into a 7 foot parking garage. Thanks!

Thanks! Not sure exact height but I fit in all parking garages. Sometimes the antenna gets whacked but I've never not fit into any garage. I'll try and measure when I get a chance but you should be ok

    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
