- Wow, what a great way to kick it off.
(upbeat music)
What's going on guys?
I'm Fuller from Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV on the YouTube.
And if you thought that $1,500 was not enough
to get you a solid lift kit,
I'm here to tell you you're wrong.
But rather than just be the negative guy who only complains
and points out what you can't do,
I'm gonna help you out with three prime examples
of kits that won't break the bank.
And before you say, well, I have a 2021
so they're not gonna be kits for me,
or I have a 3/4 ton so it's not gonna be kits for me,
or I want a big lift kit,
whatever other excuse you can come up with,
just hold on cuz you're gonna be surprised here.
And no, not every single option here is a Rough Country kit.
I know Rough Country gets some hate
on the internet from time to time,
but I've been down to their facility in Tennessee.
I've watched them fabricate lifts.
I've seen their R and D department.
I've talked to their engineers
and there is absolutely nothing that would sway me
from putting a Rough Country lift kit on my own truck.
So to kick things off,
we're looking at a 7" kit from Rough Country.
And the specific example that I found on the site
was the seven inch lifted strut kit
for the '14 to '18 GM 1500 trucks.
But they offer similar kits for other makes as well.
At about $1,500 you probably would expect
to just get a spacer lift kit,
but here Rough Country actually gives you
replacement struts and shocks,
which are specifically tuned and valved
for lifted applications.
So in plain English, that means that you can expect
ride quality to be on par or better than a stock truck.
The kit comes with everything you need
to lift your stock truck so you don't have to worry
about sourcing anything else before you slap
on your wheels and tires.
And as an added bonus this kit does not increase
the front track width,
so you don't have to worry about spacers
for the rear to get your wheels to flush up.

Now, if you've been following us for a while
you know that a few of the guys here run BDS kits
and we usually like to tell people that BDS is one
of the best options for ride quality,
but that the ride quality
and their unbeatable no fine print warranty comes
at a little bit of a higher price.
The good news is, especially for my 3/4 ton truck owners
out there, BDS has nice kits for your HD truck
that still fall under $1,500.
Great example, here is the four inch kit
for the '11 to '16 F-250 and 350 trucks.
Lawson's actually just snagged up a King Ranch
that already has a really clean wheel
and tire set up on it.
But it's not actually lifted, so I'm pushing his broke ass
to just get this four inch kit so he can really ball out
and throw some 14 wides and 37 stuffed in there
or 16 wides and skate on some 35s.

The BDS kit has drop brackets so you can utilize
your factory radius arms.
And that's one of the ways that BDS keeps the cost
down on this kit.
But it still comes with literally everything you need
including a drop pitman arm, anti-sway bar brackets,
a track bar relocation bracket, all that stuff.
And the kit comes with nx2 series shocks,
but for a couple hundred bucks,
they can be upgraded to Fox shocks
and you can exponentially build from there
with leaf pack options, coilover options,
steering stabilizers, you know, the whole nine yards.

So we've covered the most popular truck out there.
We've covered 3/4 ton trucks,
but what if you're rolling around in a 2021 or 2022 truck?
Well, even though truck prices are through the roof,
you can still make it yours with a lift kit
for just about 1500 bucks.
Superlift recently released a six inch kit
for the '21 and up F-150
and Superlift is a brand that's kind of slept on.
They disappeared for a little while, while they transitioned
from their old square body mud truck ways,
but they have been back in full force in the last few years.
They're a good option if you've got one of these new Fords.
Their base six inch kit with Shadow Series shocks
is a good option.
They have a really simple and clean cross member
that look sharp and just like BDS,
you can build on these base kits and upgrade
to Bilstein or Fox shocks as well.
Now, if you guys haven't played around on the website,
come on out to customoffsets.com,
throw your truck in the search,
and you can see all the lift kits that we've got loaded
up for you.
And I really hope you can find something out there
that works for you and your budget,
because Brad works really hard,
at least that's what he says he does,
to source all of these products
and make sure you guys are getting quality stuff
at whatever your budget is.
Peace.
