Comments: The kit comes with the springs and the shocks.
It took only a couple hours to install. It rides as smooth if not smoother than stock. I got no vibes after the install(but I did install a BL/MML at the same time. I chose(sp?) this over a BB because my 6 yr old springs were sagging a bit. Also BDS has a one of the best warrenties out there. The kit cost me $375 shipped. The only thing I regret it not saving up for a bigger lift, but this is a great kit for some one who will be satisfied with just a 2" lift.

And here's what it looks like now with 33x12.50 TSL radials
Comments: A buddy of mine recommended this lift to me,..........I am glad I listened to him,...............although I have a slight vibe , BDS delivers a great product,.................pretty easy to install and the ride is perfect,...........getting ready to put 32" tires on it ...............I would recommend any of their products ,..........I even put their single shock steering stabilizer on it .............
Comments: still dont have tires on it but the lift and the new shocks and springs make the ride nice even on stockies havent tested it out on the trail yet but i will update as soon as i do
Comments: Since I'm not too sure what make my lift was, I picked BDS because it mentions 2". There was minimal vibration at first, along with the dreaded "death wobble". I cured the wobble by having the wheels balanced.
Comments: It looks great! It is nice to be a little higher than before. Still have the smooth ride. I also still have the stock 16's on it. Getting bigger tires to complete the look and feel I am after.
Comments: budget lift, i installed some 31-1050 tires and needed the flexin room. its alright for now, expect they "klunk" a lot because they are not attached, and the spring moves a bit.
Looks great and has a smooth ride. Not to mention the lifetime warrenty.
Cons
none

yes
Comments: Easy to install with a basic tool kit and a spring compresser. You can rent a spring compresser and any parts house. Took me about four hours to install the lift.
Comments: I just rated this prudut as average because it isnt to high of a lift so i dont have that much to compare it to other than stock. Other than that it is a fanominal lift kit and i would recommend it strongly for a starter lift kit.
More than 2 inches of lift, Improved ride, Improved suspension travel
Cons
Pricey

yes
Comments: I installed this lift on my TJ, it is a great product. It shipped fast and was easy to install. The ride is better than stock, and articulation is greatly improved. It's enough of a lift to make my 31s look small, it would look perfect with 32s, and could probably clear 33s.
Comments: Kit came with springs and shocks and stickers. Instructions were detailed but kit is very basic to install. Ride quality over stock is much better and flex's great. would recommend to anyone
Better ride over stock, Sweet warranty, easy install, netted about 2.5 (maybe a lil more) which is what i wanted, not a bad price at all, just over all bombdiggity
install instructions said 4 hours but this was my first foray into suspension and it took me 4 hours for the back and 4 hours for the front. But hey, I got it installed.

Comments: After 12 years on the original springs and shocks (i know... bad, right) and 136,000 miles, it was time to replace both.
BDS was well reviewed by others and replaced both the springs and the shocks.
The install took longer than it should have since most of the hardware on the Jeep hadn't been removed ever in it's lifetime. It took me 8 hours to complete the install compared to the 4 hours per the instructions.
I would consider the ride to be better than stock and would recommend this kit to others.
shocks came packaged nicely, springs were scratched up, though no big deal
Cons
springs not the same installed height
Recommended
no
Comments: mine came in, installed them and rear springs were 3/4" difference in lift from right to left brand new, the place i ordered from only wants to order one spring, instead of getting the rear set, so now i can install them again to see which one is wrong, was rolled too tall or one too short? and to get them fixed from BDS I have to pay shipping, on brand new springs, I won't be buying from them again.
