Pros Easy install, Rides onroad like stock.
Cons None that I have noticed.
Recommended yes

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.

After:


And here's what it looks like now with 33x12.50 TSL radials

Pros good lift height
No fender trimming with 31's
Cons none yet
Recommended yes

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.

Pros Solid metal construction.
Cons didnt come stock
Recommended yes

Comments: Makes a stock wk look like a 4x4. and to maximize off road rigidity. would suggest new rear ome shocks unless you can get bds to find some

Pros More than 2 inches of lift, Improved ride, Improved suspension travel
Cons Pricey
Recommended 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.

Pros NOT a spacer lift... springs and shocks included
Cons 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.
Recommended yes

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.

Also, it did not cause any driveline vibration.

Pros 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.
