i got the superlift. I love it. It was a little pricey but worth it. Do you plan on taking it offroad or are you just going for the looks

I've got the BDS and no problems. From my understanding, the PA lift is a little bit cheaper, price wise, not quality. I know the BDS comes with the blocks to lift your tow hooks whereas the PA doesn't. BDS has much better instructions, though you can download them off the BDS website for free. I've also heard that PA sometimes doesn't come with the brackets for the rear bumper, though I don't know that for a fact.

Basically, I'd get the one with the best price you can find.

How does your handle on the freeway?

How much were your rims and tires?

AJBert- i think hes looking for a suspension lift since i dont think superlft makes a body lift.

It does ok on the freeway. My biggest problem is big hills. I havent re geared so it struggles a little on big hills and its harder to keep it going 75ish. I usually cruse at around 60-65.

My wheels were $100ea and the tires were $200ea
If you plan on getting the same sizes you will need more lift

I have the Superlift Kit on my truck and I love it. I also regeared my truck so it gets out of its own way. BDS makes a really nice lift kit and the directions are way better. Also they include all the parts you need unlike superlift who always seems to leave out some parts which will take a few days for them to send them out to you. If you plan on running 33's, I suggest you regear the truck while the front diff and rear diff are off the truck.
