Pro comp stage 2 vs BDS vs Rancho

[Catchin Zs]

Yeah I definitely will, thanks buddy. Quick question, on 4wheelparts it has 2 of the exact same stage 1 kits but only thing I noticed was that one was more expensive and had "spindles" under the parts list. I'm still learning alot and feel like im stupid for not knowing this, but what are they?

 

[Captain McGillycutty]

I've done them all. And BDS!! All the way. Pro comp isn't worth the money and Bds really knows there stuff. Great quality kits

 

[Musclemckeester]

Don't get me lying... now I'm confused. I thought spindles were only on 2wds. Is your truck 2wd or 4wd?

If it's 4wd it should be same suspension setup in the front like mine and I would think lift the front using strut spacers. I could be wrong though.

 

[Catchin Zs]

Mine is 4wd

 

[Catchin Zs]

I think BDS is the way to go, it'll just take a long time to save for that

 

[Catchin Zs]

I guess its more worth it to save for BDS rather than go rough country huh?

I'd put a Rough Country kit on my truck before I'd spring for a BDS kit, to e honest. I know quite a few 4th gens on another forum running the RCX kits and nobody is regretting it that I'm aware of. RCX has a lifetime warranty just like BDS.

When I get a lift, if I ever can afford it lol, it will be a rough country

There's nothing wrong with RCX. Their kits got a lot of bad rap in the past but their kits are as good as any now IMO. If there stuff was really that bad, they wouldn't still be around.

Very true, and their customer services has always been great with me

 

[Catchin Zs]

I've heard their 4th gen kits are superior to their 3rd gen kits and I have a 3rd soo I'm not sure..

 

[Stangshcky12]

Still the same components
I've never heard of anyone having problems with there 3rd gen kits
The only down side ti the 3rd gen kit is blocks in the rear

 

[Catchin Zs]

True. I might actually go with Zone since their products are bascially BDS. Only downside is they don't have a lifetime warranty

 

[Catchin Zs]

For me right now it'll be Zone or Rough country.

 

[Stangshcky12]

Rough country has a lifetime warranty very similar to BDS

 

[Catchin Zs]

But I've heard their parts suck

 

[Musclemckeester]

Rough Country > Zone IMO

They all use basically the same parts, except Rough Country has a lifetime warranty.

 

[Stangshcky12]

Te only time I've ever heard that their parts suck are from people who have never used them
In the past there lead springs did have a problem with sagging
They went under new ownership within the past few years and the quality of the products is much better now then it was

Ask the people who have used RC parts not the guy whose brothers friend told him that they're junk

 

[Catchin Zs]

Oh I see. I'd like some better shocks maybe Fox or something, don't know if that'd be an option though. I can get the kit for under 1k with kicker bars so that's hard to beat..

 

[Musclemckeester]

You can always upgrade to other/better shocks. Just make sure that the ones you get have the correct length of travel for whatever size lift kit you get.

I'm with Cody, the only people that talk bad about RCX are the ones that have "heard" their kits are bad. I've known one person that had some problems with their kit sagging - that turned out to be the fault of the installers not the kit itself though. RCX still sent replacement parts anyway.
