What 6" lift kit? - Too many vendors

[B&J Aviation]

Hello,

I have owned several lifted trucks, but the last one was 10 years ago. There are many new vendors since then and new technology. I want 6" to 7" lift with 35's. I have selected the tires and wheels, but not the lift. There are also limitations I have with a 7' garage door opening. I have measured several ProComp 6" lifts at the local Chevy dealer and they are all 6"10" exactly. So, I have about 1 more inch to play with.

I want the best ride with best suspension geometry for tire wear. Who to go with?

 

Vendors I have seen so far are:

ProComp - (driven a 2014 with 6" lift. Ride was stiffer, but tires were mud tires and I think a lot to do with the stiffer ride)

BDS - has an upgrade to FOX Shocks, but double the cost

FTS

FabTech

OneZone

Rough Country - has 7.5"

McGaughy - has a 7"-9" (which i like due to the lowering kit I have on my Tahoe)

 

I am a believer in shocks being the key to the ride.

BDS would be my choice. Cost more but great quality and full no bs warranty. The upgraded fox will be valved and setup for the larger tire.

Unless BDS has changed anything their kit will net in the 6.5" - 7" of lift range, with FTS, Fabtech, and MCG netting closer to 8" of lift despite mostly being marketed as 6" kits. Those 3 allow for flatter cv angles as well. My BDS kit rides great but I would prefer more height. If I was doing it, I would go with FTS and adjustable Bilsteins set at 9".

Op, I know you're looking for a 7" inch lift but has anyone installed an 8" yet and have pics?

When yukon releases gears for this truck I'm going with the 6" bds and the coils. Might cost a little more but bds in my opinion is one of the best.

 

There warranty is also unbeatable, I've used them on a few rigs I've owned.
