Yeah, I actually ordered the '16 kit from a local shop and the next day BDS posted their 6" '17 kit, so I cancelled the order expecting a 4" kit to be released. I paid 5% off MSRP through my local shop. Possibly could have gotten cheaper but shops around here charge $20 extra per hour if you bring your own parts, and the lift is something I want to pay someone reputable to do.
Your truck is looking amazing and making me even more anxious for wheels/tires/lift to get installed, and really wanting to do badges...
My BDS lift was ordered but it's going to take like 10 business days because Stage3 where I ordered it has to get it as their stock then ship which is such a stupid policy. Otherwise drop shipped to me from Michigan would've been 3 days. I did get a decent deal on it so cannot complain too much. Their site is very thorough and one of the only ones that has the new lift and the specific choices such as the ebraje relocation bracket since I have deployable running boards. I would've never known about that.
A lot of items ordered, most going back for refunds.
Bedtred had those wrinkles that never came out so I was sent a replacement that looks much better.
Truxedo titanium has greasy fingerprints the entire length of aluminum that wouldn't come off unless I used aluminum polish. It also didn't close right. I had to bend the last few roller tracks bs keards then pull towards me and push down to get it to sit flat. Otherwise it sat up like a spoiler. The second one I was sent didn't even close at all. I promptly gave up and am going with the Lomax.
Borla resonator had a big dent in it, so I'm being sent a new one. I changed the order to polished tips, was afraid the black chrome tips would get scratched and look like trash with no way or repairing them being they're welded on and sit right behind the rear tire.
With no bites on the custom grille I'm selling and not able to make up my mind on which grille I like best, I decided to install the Sport grille with the inserts to see how it looks.
Ordered a 3" block because the BDS kit comes with a 4" block which gives it a little rake which I do not want.
Since the truck will be pretty level does it matter the readylift block is tapered. Is that more for truck with a little rake? Or can it be used on a near perfectly level truck? Has anyone run a 3" block with a BDS kit instead of the included 4" block? What's the best way to level the 4" BDS kit?
BDS 4" block on left, Readylift in the right.
Packaging is nice compared to the other parts I've received which have been banged around, dented, scratched and all marked up etc
