I've got a 09F150 4WD and im looking to install a 6" lift. I've been looking at BDS. I read good things and they have a lifetime warranty. when I called my ford dealership they said they install rough country to their trucks and it keeps the warranty because that's the brand they install. He said he could look into the BDS to see if It will affect the warranty given by my ford parts dealer.

So I was wondering if anyone had any input on the two brands? I noticed that on the BDS kit it comes with 5"rear blocks and front and rear shocks. the rough country comes with 4"rear block and does not come with front shocks. Will the height be the same with either brand i use? It seems like BDS will be taller...
Does anyone have anything good/bad to say about either brand?

 

Not sure about BDS....havent heard much at all about em...but i have a rough country on my 97 and i love it....its a quality kit IMO....shocks could be better but oh well all four came with mine....mine had the option of rear blocks so you might wanna check on that...rough country is really fair priced as well

 

I would choose BDS over Rough Country. Rize and BDS are probably the top two lifts for the 150.

 

I agree. And that is BS about one lift kit affecting your warranty and another not.

 

BDS put alot of time engineering their lift from what ive seen. thats why its 2400 bucks. its a great lift ive had them on F350's that pull fully loaded goosnecks in the oil field all day long with no problems. a few poeple posted on having alignment issues with the RCX kit. they say the alignment got knocked out of place easily. but they found a way to remedy that. with some stops n camber bolts.

 

bds kit for new trucks is clean too . you dont really notice it on the truck like the rize. bdsplatinum has alot of pics of his

 

Well what they do is add a 3 yr extended warranty to the truck when i do the rough country. He says he doesn't think that he will be able to do the warranty with the BDS. I don't understand why, they both have lifetime warrantys. If they can't make me happy I'll just wait for the warranty to expire and buy a BDS somewhere else. They can lose my business
After reading about RCX I'd prefer BDS

 

thats what id do. i have always had great experiences with BDS kits. they look good, fit good, and they are a great quality kit.

 

I am going with the BDS on my 2010............but the complete 6" kit I am getting is $1950 shipped not $2400???? Does have blocks and not new rear springs.

 

the one i priced for a 97 F150 was about 2400 bucks from bds website. thats where i got the number.

 

go bds! the quality and install is so much nicer than rough country...
