Quick question, I got the 4" kit. It says that it came with a 4" block for the rear. I've noticed that a lot of people are saying that the BDS kits are more than a 4" lift, especially when using the Fox 2.5s.
What rear block did you go with? If I'm getting 5-6 inches of lift on the front end of my truck, do you think the 4" is going to be big enough? I prefer having the forward leaning rake as opposed to an absolute level truck, plus, I see a lot of trucks actually lower in the rear and that's what I'm trying to avoid no matter what I have to do.

Love the look! Do you have the adjustable Fox 2.5s? Because, if I understand correctly, the fox can add additional lift depending on how they're set. This would differ than just having the regular BDS 4" without the fox struts while using the stock suspension. What I don't want to happen is having the struts installed and gaining additional lift that wasn't accounted for before adding the fox coil overs.

more preload though, rougher the ride.

7 weeks from the day mine was ordered until it shipped this past fall. The folks at BDS were terrible with responding to shipping inquiries - because they just didn't know. Materials were back-ordered, production was behind, skeleton crews working. The delay was just a by-product of the pandemic. Hopefully it gets better quickly. The kit is worth the wait. VERY high quality build. Good luck.

Just for everyone's information, late winter to early spring is the worst time to order suspension due to the fact that racing teams order their stuff for the upcoming race season. Summer to fall is the best time.
Also, any 2.0 orders are usually on the shelf. 2.5 + orders are the ones that slow the production lines down. COVID sure doesn't help: it actually slows production of the PARTS that companies use to make stuff.
Frustrating, isn't it?

Well, I guess I proved myself wrong, sort of...
I ordered a new set of Icon 2.5 rears from Stage 3. A week later I had them in my hand! Go figure...
