I'm looking to lift my new 2020 6.7. I want a really good ride quality and the ability to do some back roading. Has anyone used any of these lifts?

I have used Thuren and Carli in the past, built very stout, can take pretty much anything. BDS, I have not tried, but I wouldn’t consider them to be on the same level.

I have a Thuren 2” on my 19. I have also had a BDS, but not a Carli. It’s hard to imagine anything being better than Thuren. Thuren was way better than my BDS suspensions. I have heard good things about Carli too.

2500 or 3500?
How much lift?
Will you load or tow heavy?
What tires are you going to?

I'm curious the answers also.
Thanks!

I would agree BDS is not compatible. If you just want hight they'll do.

Thuren or Carli will be better quality in every way but with covid good luck on getting parts any time soon. They are pretty backed up. I ordered shocks from CJC in October or September. Still don't have them.

That said your ride quality will improve and you'll likely enjoy it better than a BDS it will cost you above average due to the R&D that goes into Carli and Thuren.

Either way good choices

I've got the carli 2.5 level on the front with Bilstein shocks. Rides like a 1500. Just amazing.
