x2 on what tom has said, i am running the bds lift with bilstein shocks front and rear, 3/8" clevis lift, jba 1/4" top plate, 2 extra rear isos per side, jba a-arms. if you go with bilstein shocks for the rear make sure you use the metal sleeves included with the bds kit for the upper bshock bushing, bilstein does not include a sleeve and installing without one with kill the rubber bushing real fast. i have no issues with my lift, i just had the alignment done and the only problem was getting the caster angle in spec, (it is at 2.6 degrees IIRC and spec is something like 3.5), caster won't affect tire wear at all but does affect the steering wheel returning to center, (more caster angle=faster and more positive return to center). i will advise that you get to a dealership and buy spring isolators for the front shock/spring assembly as they are all you need to build the assembly after you get the front shocks, bds includes all the other hardware. i did my lift in the drive ways and built the front shock/spring assembly using a pair of craftsman suicide sticks and due to clearance issues with the impact i had to use a 13/16" open end wrench. sorry for the long post but hopefully it helps.
