hey guys a buddy has a 96 4x4 and wants to put 40's on it.What does he need?Most likely a 7 inch lift I would guess.What is the best brand based on your experiences?.He wants to purchase it in an entire kit with minimal hassle.I told him skyjacker and someoene told him bds.Any opinons?

 

go with skyjacker! shelby

 

The BDS kits are supposed to ride better but I think I would call Thuren and see what he says.

 

I have a 6 inch with 41s and it doesn't rub. I did trim the fenders a little and extended my links, but it works great. its pieced together. DC arms, DTT track bar, home made steering, Atlas springs, blah blah

 

i love the cab to bed flex.

 

What LanceD said. My lift is 5-5.5 inches. To put 40's on im going to also push the front axel forword except my truck sees more street then offroad so I'm going to use the BDS lower only long arm. I think it looks easyer to install and it sits below the frame insted of out side the frame and I hope that will give me a little more clearance for turning without rub. If I have to I'll be getting new front coils too to lift the front end up another inch. I like the BDS and Cepek arms because they use urathane bushings. I really hate heim joints in my suspension. Dont for get a DSS. tires like that are not kind to your steering box.

 

when I lengthened my amrs 3 inches, I installed johnny joints on the frame end and haven't had any problems. bushings still at the axle end
