they aren't really different, its just because of the weight differences. A gas truck sits a bit higher than a cummins stock, so a bds 5.5" gas sits the same as a 6" diesel. End result is the same. same kits, different spring rates, yielding "different" height gains on different configurations.
That would be me...
Actually.not really bro. its not a matter of gas trucks sitting high (they dont). Its because gas trucks are lighter than diesel trucks. For example BDS 4 inch diesel spring lifts a gas truck 5.5" so if you install diesel 6" spring on a gas truck, the lift will be close to 7.5" inches AND the ride will suffer.
I believe it has to do with the way the exhaust is ran near the front driveshaft on the gas vehicles compared to diesels.
Solid axle vs. IFS plays a big part. You have more SA options performance wise vs. IFS (this is on your DD or regular setup, if you wanna spend the money and go to long travel IFS then those have a ton of options).

Yup, totally missed it, sorry. I was speed reading through comments and made mine, I guess it pays to pay attention. I shall update my post.He's got a 2500, Both SA equipped. Not sure if our read that in his first post.
Some of the PW guys are running the Thuren diesel coils.
I just want to know what purpose a 8 inch lift serves besides looking "cool" - as a guy into wheeling I never understood oversized lifts that aren't really practical for real wheeling unless you're into running through mud pits. But that was a thing in Florida. Had a big park for it even.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just can't relate.
