BDS 6'' with 35'' or 37' tires? Pics of both preferred'.

[12TrueSport]

My new 2015 Sport 4x4 w/3.92s and LSD will be getting the BDS 6'' lift. I'm looking for pics with a 35'' tire and a 37" so I can compare the two. Finding them in one thread is impossible. I know one is heavier etc. I want to see the difference in looks ( fender fill etc)

Can you please post up if you have the BDS 6'' lift!
Thanks!

I'd love to see pics of a Sport with BDS 6" Coil Over and 35x12.5.20 tires... I'm debating on that set up or Mopar 4" with Bils and 35x12.5x20 tires...

Don't waste your money on a Mopar kit. It's just a Superlift kit that you're paying twice the money for.


Here's my old 2012 1500 with a 6" RCX lift and Bilsteins at 1.4" running 20x9 -12 offset Hostages with 35x12.5 Toyo MT's. Didn't look to small IMO.




Hopefully those will help you out.

I've read that the BDS 6" coil over kit sits a bit lower than an RCX kit with Bils.... which really, would be very okay to me

With the RCX kit and bil's do you foresee and rubbing issues with 35x12.5x20 on 20x10's same brand / model you have pictured, just 10's instead of 9's

No you won't have any rubbing issues with that setup. Lots of clearance for 35's.

On my 2012 I had the 7'' CST kit with 35's and thought it looked damn good, but I caught a picture of a truck with 37's and it got me thinking. I just can't remember where I saw it. I'll have the gearing to support either so it basically comes down to looks.

Both look good, all depends on your preference. And just so you are aware, the width of your stance will play into it as well. You won't fit 37's with a wide stance on just a 6" lift.

I know what you're saying about the Mopar just being a Superlift and the price being jacked up... The real selling feature is the dealer installing it and adding the part number to the VIN as part of the Original Equipment on the truck as soon as it arrives from the factory... I could spend $600 more for the BDS set up but then have to pay to have that installed, which would only end up being about $1500 extra, all in... the dealer already has $1000 down payment to order the truck and the price we settled on has already dropped $1545 so I'm $2545 to the good which would make the Mopar lift about $1000 more... it's a tough call... I've been going back and forth on it for a few weeks... 35" tires is the max I'll ever run so the thought of 37" tires is never a factor in this decision...

Maybe I'll see if the dealer will install the BDS kit... problem solved? lol Just no warranty...

Most dealers will install a BDS kit. Plus BDS offers a full factory protection warranty on all their lifts. If anything goes wrong, they'll cover it. I'd suggest checking out BDS's website and reading through their warranty. It's very good and may help with your decision.

 

[Selcher]

Yeah Factory Protection Plus has a lot of good information.... maybe I'll see where I get with that suggestion lol

Are those 35s in your pic?

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying the 13.5'' tire won't fit or it will stick out too far? I'm not concerned about minor surgery for turning radius but I am concerned about them sticking out ridiculously far.

All depends on the wheel specs you go with.

For example a 20x9 0 offset wheel won't have as wide of a stance (won't stick out as far) and won't give you any issues with turning. A 20x10 -24 offset will have a wider stance and will most likely rub when trying to turn sharp.

How far are you looking to have them stick out? I can recommend a wheel size/specs based on that to give you a setup that will achieve the look you want and work well altogether.

6" lift w/ bils maxed out on 20x10 rims and 35x12.50r 20 trail grapplers

 

[Explit Player]

Go with 37s. In the long run you will be incredibly happy you did

 

[Revo]

Wondering the same thing.

 

[Selcher]

Wondering the same thing.

They seem smaller, yeah? A little more gap it appears...
