If you are getting a 6" BDS lift then yes but if you just want to replace stock then I don't believe they will.

I assume if I just bought any 6 inch lift I could replace the spacers and shocks with these. Correct? It doesnt have to BDS brand. I assume these are just valved to BDS's specs.

If not let me know. I dont think at that price I could go wrong. By the listing it seems as if the guy wants to sell quickly so I might offer a decent amount and get them. Considering these cost 1600 bucks. If I could get them for 600 bucks off I think it would be worth it.

I would check with other lift brands to be sure.

I have a 2010 6.5 screw that I've been debating hard over lifting/leveling, I do a lot of driving on crappy fire/logging roads and although its not the Baja I want to be able to run it hard and fast. Because its such a long truck, a 6" lift would look best, but my plan is to go with a 1.5 spacer, rear shackle+ AAL and then a UCA and coilover up front to get 3in all round. Later on I'm going to add fiberwerk fenders and bump up to 37's, but for now any one with advice on my suspension fox2.5, icon or king? Thanks....posse out!

We personally always use King Shocks for all of our stuff. Never had an issue and great customer service. For a more affordable setup we use Bilstein shocks 5100 series. These both work as a great combo with aftermarket uniball/heimed pivots upper control arms to allow for more travel and correct angles and alignment issues.

Will the BDS 6" coilovers work on a rough Country 6" Suspension lift? I'm wanting to get rid of the strut spacers and get coilovers, all in one!

I don't see why not as long as the dropbracket is the same and the shock mounts are stock.
