    7" bds gone due to issues and switched out the kit to Readylift 6" and up to 7"
    38 to 40 psi should be good for you. I run 40 during summer and 45 to 47 in winter in VA. I've contacted merchant but they aren't helping at all also bds hasn't gotten back to me so i'm going to contact my credit card company and fight this out and get ReadLift installed. mine are wearing too quick @Jsena

    What’s th reason they’re saying they are wearing to quick?? I’ve had my lift for 10k now and it don’t see any excessive wear, maybe to soon to tell but my alignments have been good and on spec. Maybe that has to do with it

    if you already had it for 10k miles you are good. mine started happening around 1500 miles of owning it and at 3k miles the outer edge is worn out a lot. i had to swap out the rear to the front and on 2nd alignment it was still wearing bad and now at 3rd alignment it seems to be better but still wearing. what is your alignment spec @Jsena? and sorry for numerous questions.

    All good man.. I dont know my specs but it was all pretty much good. I heard someone else say bds had wear issues but I never knew what the cause is.. but mine is good.. need to get a good alignment spot

    Ummm......

    37's do not need a gear change, ive had 37's for over a year on BDS and on LT and its completely driveable

    Rubbing yeah depends but I never rubbed after a Body mount chop and good alignment

    speedo is off period if you change over stock tire size... soooo whats the issue?

    and bumper height, I live in commie-fornia and even out here not a single cop ever stopped or even looked at me for bumper height...

    Shackles lift the rear for you

    Flux capacitor!
    Some exhaust will hit the leafs with shackles. So I believe you are correct.

    7inch bds on 35s
    I am running the BDS 7 inch on 18×9 35/12.50 BF goodrich. I got a little rubbing in reverse but it went away. Bds just sent me longer shocks to replace the rear because they weren't long enough to put on the shackles to get it level. Other than that I am happy with the ride on and off road.
