This is the 2" (at the spring)  BDS coil and shock lift kit.  Kinda overpriced, if I had it to do again, I think I would have gone Calmini.


I got:

4, 2 inch longer springs  (nice springs, I will say, high quality...)

2 longer BDS 5500 Series  "Correct Valve Technology" rear shocks.

2 BDS revalved front struts (this was optional, and I am not sure I would buy them if I were to do it again... They are revalved Gabriel Ultras)

2 machined strut extentions (2 inch)  (Very nice quality part, one was slightly small and had to be reamed a tad)

2 Cam type Camber adjusting bolts for the strut mount. (I am sure they are TRW)


All in all, it's a good lift, I got a bit more than 2" out of it...  almost 2.5, as I measured it.

Tires are 235/75R-15 Maxxis Buckshot Mudders



Thanks for the good words.. STILL waiting on the mini-spool..  although it is snowing out right now, and I don't have garage space to tear it apart.. so I couldn't put it in today anyway.




What gets me is the the big difference that LITTLE things make..

Take a look at the next three pictures.. keep in mind that there is about $30 difference, and about two hours of my time between the first and last...




I had a guy offer me $3000 for it today... seriously, and he meant it, cause I almost did it....  I guess I should have taken it, as that would have been a profit.... not a lot, but I will never see $3000 out of this truck, ever again, once I get it off road.. LOL..

Tell the guy he can have mine for $2000!   

I'm liking it the lift looks great and the tires are a nice fit to the lift ... what overal diameter did the tires come out to.. I have 235/75 and they came out to almost 29 inches ( hercules terra trac mts) and I like the lift to tire space....but I am sorry too say guys I don't like the color I like the lite grey dark grey camo tho saw it on another vehicle and really liked it but I am sure it would be more than 25 dollars so I will shut up now.

like it tho

Yep, my 235's, at road pressure (around 30 psi, am going to reduce it somewhat) are VERY close to 29 inches.


Color is up to individual taste. I LOVE olive drab.. some hate it.. some love it.. LOL..

The guy that offered the 3 grand has bought 2 cars from me in the past, he knows I fix EVERYTHING that is wrong.. and if I have a car for a few months, he knows it is right... I think that may be why he offered so much.. but I turned him down.. I have around 2500 in it now, and LOTS of hours..... so I will be keeping it.

i know that the discussion is over about the paint job....but i paid $1 a can for the wal-mart flat black, and that is some tough stuff....i put 4 coats on the t-racker,thou....
but anyways....the flat black rattle can paint job is better than the stock purple paint!!

Andy,

Cool to see that turtle made it in the mag!!!! That's killer...I like the pick of the tracker setting on the rock with the sliders...I still never have finished mine.....I cut the body like yours,the frame is a lot lower than the body now!!!

Later Tom K.
