7inch bds lift or skyjacker leduc kit

I was just seeing opinions out there for lift kits was wanting to do either the 7inch bds coilover kit or the 7inch skyjacker leduc kit but unsure which to buy

 

What's a leduc kit?

 

It’s sky jackers 6 inch coil over kit

 

It’s sky jackers coilover kit comes with fox 2.0 coil overs

 

Yeah I’ve seen that. But heard that the pro comp lift doesn’t ride that well but I don’t know if they were running blocks or full coil overs I know that pro comp has quality stuff

 

the six inch procomp stage 2 has coil overs and then to make it the 7 inch they use pre-load spacer. rear would be blocks still probably.
honestly the icon or fox replacements are nice, will ride a little better.

 

Yeah the big reason why I was looking at the sky jacker kit was because it runs fox coil overs in the front and all the problems I have been reading about bds lifts I don’t want to sacrifice my ride on my tundra it’s the best riding truck I have ever owned comparing it to my 01 Sierra and my 07 ram

 

Iam still torn between bds and sky jacket it’s been 50/50 on the reviews for bds not sure how good the rear skyjackers shocks are because of them running fox coil overs in the front and skyjacker brand shocks in the rear and I plan to do the install myself on the lift to help me save some money

 

Ok nice here’s the sky jacket kit iam thinking about

 

Yeah I know how to weld and do all of that stuff so iam not too concerned about it

 

Hardest thing is the diff drop and cutting the rear crosmember

 

Nice I appreciate that because I have been reading the threads for a while just thought I would join for some advice on which kit to purchase

 

Yeah I plan on doing the lift in the spring I can’t wait

 

Now I need to make up my mind on wheels and tires iam too damn indecisive

 

Lol yeah as soon as I make my mind up I find other ones I like then I change my mind again but I still have a few months to think about it

 

What’s the issue with the BDS lift? I’ve had zero issues with mine.. zero. One or two people saying that they are junk or has issues ain’t telling the story. Many tundras around here running them, no issues either.

 

That’s nice to here I’ve just been reading that some people are having alignment issues but like I said it’s been like 50/50

 

Hammer dog how do you like the lift all in all

 

I haven’t had any alignment issues yet. The truck tracks straight, no clunking, squeaking, etc. I hear about alignment issues on a lot of lifts. I believe that some of the issues are related to the install and the shop that does the alignment. There are not a lot of shops that cant align a lifted truck correct, they have to have some experience. Look on this forum or Tacomaworld , look at the questions about alignment, exspecially with leveling trucks with 5100’s or similar setups. There are many great lift kits for our trucks, but the lift ain’t worth a damn if you have a crappy install or an alignment shop that lacks experience with lifted trucks.

 

I’m fine with my lift, zero issues. I wish I would have upgraded the lift with the coilovers, but I wanted to spend that money on my stereo. I don’t regret anything with my lift. Maybe one day I will upgrade to the coilover, but it’s a lot of money that I could use elsewhere. I’m sure the skyjacker lift is a good lift, as is Pro Comp, and Rough Country. Do your research and make a decision buy asking around. Don’t cheap out on the install. Find the best place in your area and go with them, not the lowest price. They will know what place to take it for alignment. Keep us updated !
