Default which lift???

I'm looking at buying either the 5" trailmaster or 6" superlift and I'm just wondering which one is easy to install. I'm not really worried about that 1" difference because I already have a 2"BL and 1.5" shackles. I also plan on keeping the 32" tires I have on since they are practically new. So which would be easier to install in your garage with basic tools and a welder?

I dont knowif BDS makes a lift for his model...... both lifts are good lifts, I have heard the trailmaster is easier to install but the superlift is stronger since it is a frame integrated lift...... but thats just what ive heard...

Thanks for the imput. Haven't heard much about the BDS so I'll have to do a little more researching on that. Thanks

BDS is a good kit, my buddy brian has it on his truck and it was very easy to install. Instructions are very easy to follow. I'm still waiting for my superlift kit to arrive, but I have noticed the Superlifts does have some quality control problems with kits missing parts. My buddy George has the kit and was missing some key installation hardware. If you get aSuperlift kit, check everything before starting your install. I hope my kit comes complete when I receive it sometime this week. Overall you can't go wrong with either kit. Make sure you get the kit with the Bilstien shocks.
