I like the RCD kits, I gots one on my 2000. Easy to install due to the fewer parts, most everything is one or two subframes, plus the Bilstein shocks that come with the kit are comfortable and high quality for sure. You will be able to fit those 35s in there with 8", although I think the OBS are slightly higher than the NBS, so you may be able to squeeze them in there on a 10" rim.

I have the Pro Comp kit. It needs to be re-torqued a lot (4-5 times a year). The lower cradle / subframe is four pieces instead of one, and it works its way loose. In fact, I am welding it into one piece next week. Takes alignments well, but I would research more before I bought another from them.

 

Good kit, and only one available for my truck at the time, but there might be better ones out there.

I just bought a BDS. Check out Fullsizechevy.com, there are quite a few people in the lifted forum there that could help you.

I have a fabtech...but I have no idea if they make one for your truck....I am happy with mine so far...knock on wood

dick cepek or rancho is the best quality kit for the obs. I have a dick cepek on my 96 and it has never had one problem.

the local ORW says RCD or Rancho.

 

The CST lift looks pretty sweet though!

I just installed a 6" RCD suspension lift on my truck this past weekend. It isn't too bad installing and the Bilstein shocks are awesome.

Compairing NBS kits with OBS trucks dosnt do much good for this guy.

 

 

For a OBS nothing but dick cepek or Rancho just like HvyChevy said.

Stay away from Pro comp.

CST makes one of the best Suspension systems on the market, i don't think they make one for the 88-98 though.

Fabtech or RCD is the way to go. Trust me!!

Go with Cepek
