Trying to look at different options on lift. I'm leaning hard towards BDS but interested in both options since i can spend same amount for Adjustable Coilover Shocks on Vertex RC lift. If you post, can you please add the over height of your truck along with the specs too. Thank you from TX!

My only concern is that driveline angles on the 3” aren’t addressed like the full BDS kit. That being said, it’s a tough decision to cut out the cross member on a brand new truck.

Completely agree about the angles. The One question I had ready to ask anyone that’s done this kit.

Keeping this thread alive. I'm also looking for advice between these 2 kits

One vote for the 4" BDS, photo shows right after it gone done last night. I ordered the 4" CO Kit but those are on back order. So did the 4" strut lift for now and will add the coil-overs on front when that comes in. Tires are 35 BFG KO2's on Fuel Vapor 18x9 wheels with I believe 5.5 offset.
I will be adding more images and details on the build soon, just need time to clean it up and get some good pictures of everything. Was getting dark and raining last night.

You don’t happen to have the Bluecruise, do you? I called TC Customs to order either of these kits last week and they told me that both BDS and Readylift haven’t done any research on trucks with Bluecruise and wouldn’t recommend purchasing them yet. It’s driving me insane, I can’t stand the factory stance much longer.

No I do not, my truck it also one that has been stuck on updates and as of yet the dealer has not been able to get them done either. Have no use for bluecruise anyway and will not pay the price they want to use it.

I have the RC 3" with the vertex shocks installed. I don't have Blue Cruise but it is working fine on intelligent cruse and lane centering without any adjustments. I don't see any difference with either one since the install. Just need to add some bigger tires now. Ride is great and really like the adjustable shocks ability to match what I'm doing.
