bds 3.5" yj lift $445 -is this the best price

[kre8tivity]

searched all over, jdsoffroad.com

oh, approx $50 to ship to NC


deciding between 3.5" bds and 3" rusty's

any pics of yj with either lifts and 32's or 33's

this is THE best Jeep board in my opinion

The BD lift has the extra 1/2" and better warranty on the springs.
Upgrade the shackles for another 1/2" lift - revolvers or boomerang.
Upgrade the shocks, add the quick disco's, get new stainless steel brake lines, gotta have the quick disco's, will need the t-case lowering kit unless you've done a SYE and CV joint in which case you'll need shims with either 6 or 8 degrees - most likely 6. Might as well use greeasable shackle bolts and poly bushings.
It all adds up doesn't it. http://forums.jeepsunlimited.com/forums/images/ubb/biggrin.gif

Under $400 from www.discount4wd.com (http://www.discount4wd.com) Give Jarred a call. Good guy!

I got my BDS 3.5" springs and bushings for $190 shipped to my door. BDS shocks are another $30 each if you go that route ($120)

Local suspension shop can make all your U-bolts for about $5 each w/ nuts (8 bolts $40 total)

That's under $400.

I PayPal'd for my springs and they were at my door in 3 days.

do you get a special price?

website says $535 w/o shocks

[Shoowallagager]

I didn't get that price from him either.
I went w/ Bob Supplee for my BDS springs.

[Darrell]

I asked him how low he could go with just springs and bushings. I was quoted $176 and $14 for the bushings (or thereabouts) including shipping.

I sent $190 by PayPal and it came 3 days later.

[kre8tivity]

Shoowallagager-- what was bob's price?


darrell- you didn't need the box kit or the dropped pittman arm?

[Darrell]

As stated above, I get my ubolts made locally to my specs for $5/each. That's way cheaper han say MORE or anyone else doing Ubolts, and I trust the shop more than I trust some unspecified ubolt manufacturer.

I had a DPA left over from somewhere for a 2.5" lift, but I'm getting a DPA from a RE 4.5" kit for next to nothing from someone who doesnt need it.

Sure I have bumpsteer, but so what? http://forums.jeepsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif

What else is there to the kit? Some spacers and longer bolts to make a tcase drop? Under $20 at the local hardware store.

[kre8tivity]

what about your rear shackles,
someone told me b/c of the full military wrap i would need new shackles, is this true?

[Shoowallagager]

All I got were 2" springs. They were 60 bucks a piece, shipped. I think BDS has raised thier wholesale price lately. Some of the places I called wouldn't give me a quick quote, they used the I'll get back to you routine.

[Mascarab]

Cool, I have OME shocks, does anyone reccommend I go with BDS springs and save the cash? I can get all my U-Bolts at the warehouse for probably $10 and make a Tcase lowering kit. Anyone think I should just give in the cash for OME springs?

[Darrell]

I bought MORE boomerang greasable shackles and didnt install the cross pin. They work fine with the BDS milwrap.

[Dan90YJ]

You do not need a Drop Pitman arm. I got mine from the same place as Darrell, $330 for springs, bushings, shims, (longer tahn norm) shocks. All that leaves is the Tcase drop ($30?) and the ubolts ($40) so thats $400 right there.

Very happy so far. Mine too was shipped in about 3 days to NJ.

I used revolver shackels so they fit fine in them.
