Looks awesome! Any chance you can get a couple measurements? Height of the truck at highest point, and height of the top of the side-step (Step up height). Checking garage and wife height!

I will definitely try tomorrow or Friday to get you some measurements. I got a height pole that I can use from work to get you whatyour looking for.

Thank you! Just trying to decide between the 4" and the 6" but need to show the wife about what they will be to step into.

I was able to get some measurements, from the ground to the top of my garage door it was 83” and the truck fit fine with maybe 1/2 inch to spare!! Also the measurement from the ground to the top of the step in the front is 21” 1/4” !!

Thank you so much for the measurements! My garage is right at about 83" with the weather seal too. 21 1/4" is solidly high, that might do me in with the wife. Might have to go 4" to get that down a bit. I'm 6'2" but she is 5'3" and that may just be on the side of uncomfortable for her.

I should have an answer next week. My dealership ordered a 4" BDS lift kit yesterday and we'll have it installed upon arrival. I'm confident that the sensors can either be adjusted via computer, or it won't change the range significantly enough to be an issue. We also discussed adjusting the headlights to maintain the factory engineered aim. The speedometer is also easily adjusted via computer.
Curious to know what they are charging for the lift, install and alignment?

Long story, short....

Because of issues with my dealership's accessories department, I was forced to go in a different direction, and had a local tire shop install a 2" level kit with 275/70/18 tires instead.

Sorry that doesn't answer your question. Maybe someone else has had it done, and can provide you with an answer.

Damn, had to do a 180 huh?! Appreciate the response.

Josh (spacewhite_3.5) - do you mind providing what you paid for the lift, install and alignment (without the tire/wheel costs)?

Spoke with BDS today to get an update as I ordered my 4" lift on 1/26 from a dealer. BDS said they are shipping a limited number of lifts very soon, and said I should hopefully have mine in 7 to 14 days. We shall see......
