BDS Lift

[Moe_Fugga]

Anyone installed a BDS 2in leveling kit yet? I'll put a link below.

My shop said this was a good economical kit being that I don't want to go crazy high and am just looking to go with 285/75/17 tires on 17x9 wheels. I know you can do that stock, but the front needs to come up and I am apprehensive (may be ignorant) about spacer only leveling kits. I had a 2013 2dr Wrangler years ago with a full Rubicon Express lift, but don't want to drop so much cash. So a few questions if you don't mind:

1. If you installed this kit how is the ride?
2. Why only replace the front springs and not all four with four new shocks?
3. Are two front spring replacements usually similar to factory spec springs just taller?

Thanks for helping the new guy!

And yes I searched for BDS and came up with nothing haha

I just installed this exact kit. Lot of bang for your buck. Great CS too. They sent two drivers side sway bar disconnect “holding” brackets. Called them up they sent the passenger side and had it in two days. The ride actually feels better if that is even possible. Takes bumps and potholes a little softer. I didn’t replace the rear shocks as I put on Rubicon shocks already prior to installing the kit. The front coils seemed similar but yes were about 2.25” taller. I highly recommend the kit. The JKS QD sway bar links are nice as well.

I like it! What tire size did you go with? Factory 17x7.5 Rubicon wheels?

They are rubicon take offs. Mud terrains.
