BDS vs. Rubicon Express

[keep0njeepin0n]

when i was looking for a lift i was stuck with the same options. i went with the BDS 4.5" lift with the full leafs and adjustable uppers and lowers. i love it. the only reason that tipped me over to the BDS vs the RE was there warrenty. no matter how long you own it, get in a accident, destroy or even if the springs start to sag they will replace it no questions asked. i liked that and is the only reason i went with them instead of the RE.

How's the ride, and have you compared it to a similar RE equipped XJ as far as ride quality? Do you have the 5500 or 9500 shocks?

I have the RE 3.5" and am beginning to love it now that things are breaking in, however, I'm having an issue with the driver side leaf pack fanning (need to buy some clamps)... Even with Bilstein 5100s, beware that the ride quality will be significantly different from stock. I can no longer trust myself to drink from an open cup while driving.

Whata u mean did u get a harsher ride from the Bilsteins??
