    Does anyone have issues with their BDS suspension lifT? I have a 2016 platinum tundra with 30,000 miles. At slower speeds maybe 10 miles an hour to 20 miles an hour when I drive over brick pavers or small bumps I feel that there is something loose all most in the front end?? It doesn’t sound stable like a truck should. Could it be the sway bar? Heim joints? Highway speeds it drives like a dream

    I'd take it back to where the lift was done have them ride around with you, re torque everything down

    I just had a 3" coilover BDS kit installed on mine, and it did the same thing to me as well. I had to drive over that speedbump several times but yeah I couldn't figure it out. Spare tire is rock solid with no shaking so not sure what it is. Had mine retorqued and they couldn't find anything but I havent been over that speedbump since then either. I'll have to try it again later. Going back to my install shop once I get back in town next week. If they find something, I'll let you know!

    My installer said no issues with tundra BDS, he is one of the best if not the best in my area. He’s an excellent fabricator, and has an excellent reputation and stands by his stuff. He recommend BDS over most brands.

    I’m actually currently looking into BDS uca’s for my 2010 CM, anything I should know before pulling the trigger?

    I’m already skeptical of any brand just due to the horror stories I’ve heard and read of on the inter webs, not that any particular brand is problematic just want to do a one and done if possible.

    Agreed, absolutely the best for alignment purposes, and was on the road in purchasing them but a few concerns come to mind with them. 1) knowledgeable facility that understands how SPC adjusts for optimal performance and 2) a single bolt that secures the ball joint. (Would hope it wouldn’t come loose)

    Besides these concerns I’ve been gtg with them, which is why I started researching elsewhere.

    Thanks for your response

    So I finally got back in town and took my truck back to my installer, they had already retorqued but they did again and said nothing was loose. I couldn't find anything underneath loose either. It's been driving me crazy too lol it's so weird!

    Do you find anything?
