    Sorry to bring this up again guys; I know there's been alot of threads on this (I've read them all). I had settled on buying a BDS 2.5" suspension set for my '71. When I asked the guys at the local 4X4 shop if they could order if for me (they can't) they mentioned that the Superlift kit gave a great ride on and of the trail. The price is about the same. I'd set my sites on the BDS because of all the recommendations about the warranty. My plans on this Jeep are to drive it for about a year while I'm redoing a '62 for a daily driver, and then frame up it for trail only. I'd like to get a suspension that will serve for both, with trail purpose foremost. I feel like I'll stick with the BDS choice, but wanted some comparison input for you guys

    So see the For Sale Section and call Bob Supplee to get the BDS if that's what you want. Why get what someone else thinks you want? ;)

    I have a distributer in Louisville that can get the kit (BDS supplied the name). I just don't have any experience to guage the choice on. I really trust the input from the guys on the forum.

    Different shop. I live in Frankfort; about 50 miles from Louisville. I asked at the local 4X4 shop trying to support the local businesses. The suggestion just threw a little question in the decision.
