Looking to do a 5.5"/6" lift in my 2016 2500 6.4l. This is not a truck that goes off road, but I want to build it right and get the best ride possible knowing that it's going to be a bit rough regardless.

It has a bds leveling kit with fox shocks now and I love the way it rides.

I was originally going to do the bds kit, not the 4 link, and with adjustable track bar in the front, fox shocks, dual fox steering stabilizers but recently someone suggested zone and Fabtech which work out to be much less expensive.

Could I get some input on what you guys recommend? Truck is a daily driver. I'll pay for the bds if I need to, no big deal, but if I can save a grand going with a different brand that would be cool

As far as I’m concerned BDS is the best lift out there, especially if you go offroad ... Now, for the occasional trail, and mostly asphalt, Zone is the sister company to BDS ... I’ve been runnin a Zone 4” on my 1500 for 5 years with no issues ... I don’t know anything about Fabtech

Well if I did the zone 5.5" lift instead of the bds it would be 50% of the price so if it's still quality and will ride well on the street that would be awesome

The quality and ride are definitely there ... My only suggestion would be to go with the shock upgrades they offer ...
