Default Difference between BDS 6” and 4” lift kits?

Does anyone know what components are different in the BDS 6” kit and 4” kit for 2017-2019 4WD?

Their pictures look exactly the same.

You can call them to ask. But it might be just a taller strut spacer for the front.

I believe the it’s just a different strut spacer/coilover. The default rear block will be different also but that can be ordered to preference. Might be some small hardware differences though.

Only difference is strut spacer and height of rear block. All other components are the same.

The difference for the standard front is a 4 or 6 inch spacer respectively. There is no difference for rear , if you choose 4 inch rear block kit on 6 inch kit. If you choose 5 inch rear block kit ( 6 inch kit ) you also need different rear shocks .HTH

Does any one have actual height measurements of a 4" and 6" kit? I am concerned about my garage at work.

This might help. I paid for the 4" BDS kit and they accidentally put the 6" one on. The wheel and tires are the same. There were only my a few parts they had to exchange. Most noticeably the blocks they put on. I like the 4" look much better.
