2" Lift options

[RivMan]

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out which 2" lift to go with for my truck.

99% Street duty, Rear springs seem to be in ok shape.

The three options I'm looking at are:

Tuff Country 2" W/Rear Blocks
Tuff Country EZ Ride Front Springs
Tuff Country SX8000 Shocks
$643 Shipped

BDS 2.5" W/Rear Blocks
BDS 5500 Shocks
$700 Shipped

ORD 2" Kit
Tuff Country EZ Ride Front Springs
Tuff Country SX8000 Shocks
Rear Shackle Flip
$719 plus shipping

Opinions? Is the Shackle flip worth the extra ~$150 shipped? BDS Over TC for a Street Truck?

Thanks
-Rob

both springs will be great for the street ride and off road use .

but the flip does require you to drop the gas tank don't forget . unless you have a few great tricks up your sleeve .

Thanks for the heads up on the Gas tank drop, forgot about that part of the swap. ORD's shipping killed the deal on that option.

I ended up deciding on the BDS 2.5" Lit with Rear Blocks. I figure I can upgrade to Springs or a shackle flip later, and not be out any real $$$ if I don't like it. BDS is also a Michigan company, so I gotta support the local guys!
