Best Lift???

[elliott6563]

Hey guys im getting a 2008 1500 Hemi pretty soon, and i plan on lifting it 6 inches, and 35" tires. i was wondering what would be the best lift to get? Nothing too expensive but i dont want a cheap one that will break either. Wheel wise i want Fuel Hostage's, i was wondering if this set up would fit without too much rubbing "18x12, Offset -44", i couldn't find anyone who has the -44 offset. I think they would look sick but i dont want to have to chop up my fenders too much. Tires im probably going to get 325/65/18 Firestone destination M/T's because i can get them cheap. Pics would be awesome as well.
thanks.

Check out the vendor MPC here. They are an rough country dealer and have some awesome prices.
An RC lift would be the best bang for your buck IMHO
Unless you really plan on wheeling then BDS would be a better performing lift

-44 on a 18x12 wheel with 35" tires. What is the width of tire you are wanting to run?

I have a Zone Offroad 6" kit on my 06 1500. Zone is a sister company to BDS. I love it. Great quality. The only thing I did, was I upgraded the shocks to Bilstein. Not needed, but I like the ride quality better. You can get the Zone kit through our vendor 3rd Strike. You could also buy some tickets for the raffle we're doing here on the site. You'd have a chance to win a gift card for 3rd Strike!

i think there pretty much the same width as a 35/12.50, maybe a little wider.

BDS...they have a life time warranty on the lift due to manufacturer defects or you break it due to wheeling. i plan on throwing one of their 6" lifts on my 04 when i get back from "the stan"

Rough Country's warranty is basically the same as BDS if thats what sways your oppinion

Ya ive heard good things about BDS....but there pretty expensive!!! Are rough country's pretty good lifts?

 

[Stangshcky12]

I have a BDS 6" lift and I love it!!! Rough Country is a good lift. I think they are a lot better now then they use to be. Just my .02 cents.

Agreed. A good lift depends on what your using it for and what kind of money your willing to spend.
RC are nice lifts but I would say hands down BDS are nicer. But that is why the RC lift is a little less inexpensive.
RC has gone under new ownership within the past few years and there quality has been much better since which has made their lifts much more competitive in the market

Awesome, thanks guys, i dont plan on doing much offroading, if i do it wont be anything crazy so ill probably just end up geting the RC. Ok another question, i decided on some wheels that are 18x9, 4-3/4" backspacing, -12 mm Offset. That means they will stick out a little bit right? If anyone has some pics with this size wheel that would be great!

The powerwagon guys love BDS they hold them very high. Pure Performance is another quality suspension company. If I dident go with Carli I would have gone with Pure Performance. TopGunCustomz seem to be okay as well.

They are BMF SERE 20x9 0" offset.

 

[elliott6563]

Anyone with these wheel specs??? 18x9, 4-3/4" backspacing, -12 mm Offset?
