True, true. I think BDS is expensive too, though, isn't it? I'm guessing the BDS kit with rear leaf springs is comparable in price with the Fabtech coil system.

Any other opinions?

SWOS Chief...why do you say you wish you would have bought 37's? Curious.


Just to fill the wheel well more and add another inch. I forgot to point out, something I am not too keen on is that the front of the truck is now higher than the rear. Almost opposite the way they come stock.

I think over the long haul you're better off with the 35's. Less front end wear and such.
I wonder if all the Fabtech kits leave the front higher than the rear. I'm going to GA. for a week or so and plan on having a get together with some buddies I've not seen. A couple have Fabtech's, so I'll check their lifts out closely. One guy I plan to see has aFabtech lifts on a '05 Dodge. You could always opt for bigger blocks in the rear.
I know with the Rancho kit, when I was done, you could park on level ground an lay a level on the bed rail and it was damn near perfectly level...
