Does lifting cause a rougher ride? Does it increase the risk of a rollover? it looks great. one challenge I face is parking garages that are two low.

Thanks! No BDS doesn't offer the upgrade for front fox coilovers yet, but I'm thinking about installing the black fabtech dirt logic 2.5 coilovers. The shop needs to take measurements from the center of wheel cap to opening of fender first because Fabtech makes different lengths. But for now the BDS kit is fine and rides really nice.
I'd definitely get the front coilovers when you can!

Nice job. If I wasn't so damn scared of messing up my warranty, I'd be all over this. In two years, I'll be doing the same thing. Great job again - good stance.

Some companies will warranty whatever they install, replacing the factory warranty which was nulled when the aftermarket parts were installed.

When we lifted ours I didn't notice a huge difference in the ride, but I'm sure if you want a smoother ride, stick to a stock ride height. I don't think a 6" lift with 35"s raises it up so high that it increases the rollover risk that much, especially if you aren't driving it like a racecar around the corners.

Lifting any truck, or car for that matter, will change its center gravity and thus increasing chance for rollover.

We sometimes run into that problem too. The clearance in some parking garages is pretty low. We also had to remove a 2"x6" board at the top of our garage door frame (aesthetic not structural), and remove the luggage rack in order to park in the garage (6" lift on 35's).
