After a year of towing, wheelin, and 25,000 highway miles, my BDS 4" spring packs have not sagged at all, still flex extremely well, and ride decent. The only real problem that i have had is the centerpins for the rear packs were too loose, and the overloads turned some. The BDS is an excelent setup, i would reccomend it to anyone, especially if you still want to tow. The ride is notably stiffer than stock, but not too harsh, and flex is as good as can be expected. Although i run 33's, there really isn't enough room for them for serious wheelin' without some sawzall work, or the SOA/ Shackle flip setup. As far as instalation goes, you will have to either remove your track bars as i did, or fabricate extended brackets. stock swaybar and links work, but i would make longer disconnect links. the brackets for lowering brake lines work, but longer hoses would be a better solution. I used the Trailmaster SSV shocks, because they were cheaper, and like them on and off road. OH, the full BDS kit and shocks cost me $1000 all told, and took about a day and a half to install, including replacing gastank skid. I hope this is helpfull to someone.
