Got the 18" Diamo 8Karats and Nitto's Getting the lift done Monday!

I finally got my wheels in and had them mounted on the 35" Nitto Terra Grapplers this past weekend. Getting my 6"BDS lift done next Monday. I'll post the pictures when I can. Tires and wheels look so cool. I can't wait to seem on the X. Here is a link to the wheels I am getting.

Lift is almost done. I'll post again when I get the truck back tomorrow. Went over and saw it. All I can say is that it is the most bad ass looking X I think I've ever seen! They are lengthening the draftshaft due to some vibration on braking over 60 miles per hour. The duel Bilsteins rock! Nitto's and the Diamo's are too cool. BDS 6" suspension appears to be perfect. I'll take some pictures and post soon as possible.

To answer your question about why I chose the BDS suspension...I had great success with it on my F-250 and they back their suspension lifts like nobody else. I think the Edge would also be a good choice, but the guys at BDS stand by their products. Give them a call and you'll see what I mean.

come on, come on, commmme onnnn! where's the pics?

what spooked me about the edge kits was i looked at the pics on SDHQ's page and it seems all the trucks on there squatted in the back end. I cant stand a truck that doesnt have a little rake to it.
