BDS is expensive, but there's no fine print on their warranty. If it breaks, you get a new one. You can record yourself running over coil springs with a tank...they'll send you new ones. Can't beat that.

Depending on when, I can jump in... Just start hitting all of the bolts associated with the suspension with PB blaster about a week before you put it on...

It really depends on what you want to do with it....
I want a low COG on my builds, anything over 5" is defeating that purpose.

I agree with you mike, I'm going for more of a higher ground clearance and more suspension travel
