Default icon stage 5 vs bds six inch lift

Hey guys

I am trying to decide between these two set ups. Anyone have any opinions. I know the icons are great but the bds are too. The bds I have heard wear on the transmission and different though.

You comparing two completely different lifts. The icons are adjustable coilovers with a fairly simple install with no cutting or welding vs a 6" lift with major modifications.

BDS for show, Icon for go. Lift kits don't add performance to our trucks, they just get them higher off the ground. The Icon kit will show major improvements in offroad handling. I go to every Best in the Desert race and I see very few lifted half tons; they simply don't hold up well to real offroad use. My truck will be getting either King, Fox, or Icon shocks and likely Icon upper control arms.
