Default 6" BDS Self Install
Installed the BDS 6" Lift. Took a few more hours than originally anticipated due to several store runs for tools. Cutting the crossmember took a couple attempts, you do need to remove material until you are right up close to the frame rail. Some very tight bolts, hard to reach bolts and heavy parts for a one man job. Its done & looks good and the $1000-1200 install price I saved paid for 1/2 of my Leer Shell thats on order.

Tires are Cooper Discover STT 35x13.50x18 on 9.5x18 with 4.5 bs and -22 offset. Had to trim the air dam.

Costs:
BDS Lift $1950
Bushwackers w/paint $500
Tires $1700
Rims $600
TPMS $99
Tools $100
Alignment $95
All costs in Anchorage Alaska
