ok so had a change of plans....... I am now gonna go with a 6 inch but want to keep the factory ride if possible. Never had a lifted truck and have heard many differant things from people that have never had a lift aswell. Which is the best kit and smoothest ride for a 2011 z-71????

I have had problems with Ranchos shocks on more than one vehicle. Pro comp does nice as well as skyjacker.

I was thinking pro comp's kit with the coil overs... Was told BDS has a kit with replacement leaf springs that is supposed to be a real good ride

I have the Pro Comp with an add a leaf and blocks in the rear and spacers up front. Also have the ES9000 shocks the truck rides really good just a tad stiffer in the rear. I dont have experience with other kits but so far this one seems great.

So I have found out that a 6" procomp kit is around 1600 and 4wheelparts is doing free installation so..... 3" body and 37's will take up the "installation" money hopefully by next weekend I'll have to jump into my truck...

37s and 3.42s. you might want to look into some gears if your thinking of going that big.
maybe 35s and some 4.10s should take up your installation money.
imo of course.

i have a BDS, yes it has an option for stainless steel brake lines, full leafs, traction bars, and upgraded gas shocks in the rear(i have and like them). if i remember from the directions, you have to drop the gas tank to put them in the drivers side. its a good lift, great quality and lifetime warranty. only thing is if you look at my build thread, dont run a spacer if you have a 4wd, the angles are a bit harsh. you will probably measure out if you run 35's about 45 inches in the front and 45.5 in the back(if you get the replacement springs it might differ).
