Anyone have any opinions on this or some info on these.
Looking at the rough county long arm upgrade and the BDS long arm upgrade.
so far this is what the main differences are for me that im seeing.

BDS
$1100 with extra T case skid free shipping to local dealer.
4 link long arm
seems beefy
good warranty

Rough Country
750 shipped come with skid plate
radius long arm kit
good warrenty
seems decent from what review ive found.

Anyone know much more or have either kit or seen them in action.

BDS is beast, and I know Trick Trucks is a seller. 4-link is better than radius, and BDS has a very simple warranty: Break it, and we'll replace it.

Rolled into VT to snowboard some much needed vertical drop around 4:30pm today. It's around 10* right now, with a high of 8* and -10* wind chill tomorrow, and a high of -2* and -38* wind chill Wednesday. It's supposed to warm up to a balmy 13* by Friday. Brrrr!!!
Also, ran into a group of college kids from MD on their first trip up this way. They just got here today and are super geeked to hit the hill tomorrow. Glad to have given them the beta on where and where not to go out there.

I love snowboarding. But im not very good at it. I have only been 3 times. Usually go once a year because its expensive for me cause i rent. Missed it last year.

X2. The extra $350 is worth the warranty alone. Check the reviews of BDS vs. Rough Country, BDS has a higher ratio of positive to negative. That said, Clayton.

Unfortunatly BDS has gone downhill lately. Buddy of mine spend over 3 grand on his TJ kit - every single bushing was shot in under a year and they wouldn't do anything about it. He ended up replacing all 8 control arms.

RC has great customer service, and their product is getting better. Their long arms with the rebuildable flex joints are good.

If you're going to spend that kind of money on long arms, I recommend you look at Clayton Offroad's long arms (radius arms or 3 link), or Serious Offroad (Radius arm). Both use rebuildable joints at least on one end.

I looked at the clayton it did not really do anything for me. Ill look at the serious offroad

I assure you Clayon's kit WILL do "something" for you...lol. Uses real Currie johnny joints, not a cheap knockoff. I dare you to break them.

that one?

That's a shame to hear that about BDS. I'm with you though on the Clayton LA kit, but if Serious builds his LA kits like he builds his steering, I'll take Clayton. ****, I'd take Clayton over Serious anyway.
Why? What's the issue?

Yessir. They also have a 3 link kit, but it requires welding and cutting.
