Re: has anyone heard of bds suspension

I had a set of bds springs on my toyota and was very pleased with them. They featured a double military wrap at both ends, rode quite nice for a lifted spring and were reasonable priced.

Yep, they were formerly Big Dick Suspension but changed to BDS a few years ago. I heard they had good stuff, no personal experience though.

Re: has anyone heard of bds suspension

I have a set of 6" on now. They are stiff imo. I am running procomp shocks (cheapos). I am going back to the 4" Tuff Country and my Ranchos. I think I got more than 6 inches from the BDS 6" lift. Oh and had to reoder the front springs when it wouldnt set level. They were really good about getting another set sent out and it didn't cost anything. The guy I got them from wouldn't do anything about them but after calling BDS it was handled in no time.

Re: has anyone heard of bds suspension

yup BDS makes quality stuff. They are very popular in the yj jeep world. Not to be confused with Black Diamond Suspension which in my opinion is not as good as BDS. They are a bit more money but build quality springs and had great warentee.

Re: has anyone heard of bds suspension

I have a 6" BDS ( springs all the way around) on my 90 Burban with 35 BFG MT's. Great kit, nice pieces and I am using their hydraulic shocks and the thing rides great and works great.
