    Getting ready to pull thr trigger on a BDS lift...
    Cant decide on either the 3"leveling with coilovers running 33-35's maybe

    Or my other choice BDS 4.5" with coilovers
    Both kits look solid and will suite me.needs as.far as.hauling 4wheelers and toys

    4.5" would be my first vote. What is the reason you might go 3"? If it's cost, but you really want the 4.5", save then get the 4.5" you're less likely to regret it.

    What size tires you gonna slap on this beast?

    GFC Borla XS Ceramic Tint 2” lift on Fox 2.0 -aal- Methods on 33
    3” will be more functional, easier on the drivetrain. Going over will increase angles and possibly affect long term. 3” 33”’s and call it good

    3” and 35’s call it done. As others said “easier on drivetrain” and less expensive down the road as well.

    As mentioned easier on the drivetrain and the police will not bother you (don’t know if that is an issue in Alaska or not). I have a BDS 6” lift and 37” swamped on my mud truck and you definitely don’t want to daily drive it, it is a rough ride!
