    Im looking at putting a 6" lift on my truck. What would be a better option? A readylift kit from the dealership or a BDS lift from a local shop. What are the differences in quality? The price is pretty comparable for the 2. Just switched from an 06 f-150 with a 6" fabtech lift to my 2018 platinum crew max. It sits on 35×12.5×20 A/T's

    Can’t comment on BDS lifts as far as personal experience but I know they make an awesome lift. I have a 6” ready lift on my tundra with 35x12.5x20’s. IMG_1223.jpg

    I have a 6" ReadyLift w/no complaints. The real test is the installation - if not doing it yourself, make sure the installer knows what he's doing.

    I kept rubbing w/35s but I had neg offset wheels. Ended up installing Fox coils up front w/another 1.5-2" of lift then 37s. No problems.

    The shop that I'm going through is very reputable and knowledgeable. They did say I might need the sbc uca's because of the offset with the ready lift.

    I'd recommend the BDS.
    On my 2009 DC, I have the 4.5" BDS with 35x12.5 and it's been excellent.
    If I remember correctly, they offer optional shackles to lift the rear an additional 1" which provides just enough rake.
