6 inch lift: Fabtech or BDS?

Just wanted to get some feedback as to which 6" lift (Fabtech or BDS) is considered the better setup. Thanks.

Never ran the bds but did run a fabtech. Id do it again in a heart beat. No issues at all.

I'm biased as I have the BDS, but there is a reason I paid more for it. Besides the RIZE, I would consider it the best. I'm not even sure RIZE makes a lift for 97-03. BDS has a no questions asked warranty, meaning if anything breaks for any reason, on or off road, they replace it. I like that about them. I don't think you can go wrong with fabtech, I just don't have experience with them.

BDS also comes with bilstein shocks. Either way both are really good kits.

They seem to have similar components, except the BDS has "compression struts" for the cross members. Anybody know their real function or are they an extra over engineered part?

Both are excellent kits. However, BDS does have the best warranty in the business.
