Hey everyone, just picked up my truck and thought I'd throw up a pic on the forum. I haven't seen a lot of picture of 4" BDS lifts, nor have I found many of black wheels on the new(er) navy silverados (hopefully this will help out any of you guys looking for something similar-- I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.)

2009 Silverado Ext. Cab
33 BFG Km2 on 18 XD rockstars (i know some don't care for the "cockstars," however I've only seen a few in my area and I think they're BA).
BDS 4" lift.

BEFORE



AFTER (not the best pic, we're having a little snow storm at the moment)

forget them. You do what you want. Looks great man. Damn, that's alot of snow

haha exactly it's my truck -- Thanks!
and yeah, about the snow... It was like 40 degrees + last week, however, in the last 24-48 hours we have been dumped on consistently and supposedly it's going to keep pouring down for the next few days.

Would like to hear more... Cost, ride, handling, any issues installing. Also some better pics when weather permits. Looks good so far.

I didn't install the kit, but the guys who did said everything went in great and that it looked like a top-notch lift (they usually just install pro comp). I have installed one lift before, an Emu on an FJ62, and while it turned out ok I decided to have the pro's handle this one-- with as much money as I have into the truck I wanted it to be done right.

Cost: pretty high, actually.
- I bought the lift through BDS (prob could have gone through ebay, etc. for a cheaper route), and I upgraded to the Fox shocks = $1900.
- The wheels, tires, and installation = $3400.

Total = $5,300

Ride and handling: As I have less than 30 miles on it through crazy unplowed roads I can't say much for now. The tires are siped, but haven't opened up much yet probably. However, I didn't have any issues on the roads and the ride was smooth considering the conditions. I took it into an empty parking lot with over a foot of untouched snow and romped it around-- handled flawlessly. I had the stock wheels/tires in the bed, which helped too. I'm going to put in one of those water trax or whatever deals in this weekend-- adds roughly 300 lbs.

I'll def throw up some pics as soon as the weather clears up.

What do you guys think about the lift? I have been thinking about adding a 1- 1 1/2 body lift... thoughts?

who installed your lift? I live right on the Washington/Idaho border so I too am loving the snow!

lol made me laugh when i read you wanna possible do the 1.5" body lift now lol, cause in one of the last post in the old thread u talked something about people that buy 4 inch lifts regret it and should have got 6...not saying your unhappy with what you have they did a fantastic job and its definetly a nice As* truck, but if you would od it over would you go 6"?
