    Lift Kit Suggestions?

    Looking to go with a 6" BDS lift with the radius arm drop brackets or a 7" Fabtech lift with a completely new radius arm included. Galloways 4wd Center told me that leaving the factory radius arm in place will allow the truck to ride slightly better due to it coming with a thick rubber bushings to absorb on road bumps. I have a 2016 2500 and I have 35's on order now with new wheels and may go to a 37" tall tire later on so that's why I'm sticking with a 6 or 7 in lift. I'm gonna have them do a complete gear swap while it's there also. Gonna have them install 4.10 gears since the nitro 4.30 gears can't seem to be found any longer. Don't want a 4.56 gear just in case I stick with 35" tires for the long run. But mainly want the best on road ride I can get out of a 6-7" lift and keep it under $3000. Anybody running these size lifts have any personal opinions on these?

    You don't need a 6" lift to run a 37" tire. You can run a leveling kit. We install leveling kits and 37" tires quite often.

    Sorry, this statement makes it sound like you think you need a tall lift to run a 37:

    FWIW I have a BDS 6” 4-link and love it. I’m running 37s and actually think the ride is as good or better than stock. Truck only has 800 miles on it (100 with the lift) but very happy so far with the BDS kit.

    What type of shocks are you running on it?
