Hmm.
So they use lift blocks for the rear air bags, which means it will not change the load capacity or the riding characteristics of the rear.
And they use progressive coil springs in the front, which is also what Thuren and Carli use. Wonder where they get their springs from.
As for the shocks, the tuned Kings 2.5 shocks from Carli will be better than the 2.0 Fox IBS from BDS.
BDS to me is more of a mall crawler suspension, along with most of the other suspensions out there and Carli and Thuren are more of a serious off road suspension. But both work for a daily driver. Just my .02 cents.
Anything else Offroad, then you need to go see a serious off road suspension builder.
One point of clarification, Thuren and Carli both run linear springs in the front, Thuren runs linear in the back, Carli offers both a linear and progressive option.
I want to purchase the Carli 2.5" Lift Kit along with the track bar and Sway Bar to improve the ride quality of my 2022 Ram 2500 diesel.
I spoke to a person which has a store that sells BDS suspensions who told me Carli won't improve the ride quality notably vs. a BDS suspension kit which will improve the ride compliance notably.
Does anyone here know this to be true or has better understanding of these suspensions that can bring some insight into this comments.
Thanks!!!
I had a BDS kit on my old 1500 because I wanted to try it after hearing such awesome stuff. I was not a fan. BDS is a great kit if you want a forever warranty on a mall crawl lift kit. I've yet to sit in any of the BDS equipped trucks that rode noticeably better than stock. The shocks on their 2" kit
may make the ride slightly better, but unless something has changed BDS is using off the shelf FOX 2.0s, which means they aren't valved for the truck at all.
That said, be honest with what you're looking for, and if you just want the look I see no real harm. That said, I surely wouldn't trust a shop that is trying to tell you spacers and factory tuned 2.0s are gonna ride better than custom Carli coils and Carli tuned shocks. If you're comparing the 4"+ kit's it's a bit of a different story, but still, BDS optimizes for height, not for ride quality.
