Bulletproof makes the strongest, best looking kits on the market, They are pricey, but well worth it.

Don't know much about 'em, except that they look friggin awesome! I would definitely consider bulletproof (if i had a chevy...not yet)...i think the Full-throttle lifts look good too....anybody know the price-range of the 12" lift kits for the Bulletproof?
*sorry, don't mean to threadjack. Just want a quick answer for a price range.

If you guys are looking for actual performance you should go with http://www.camburg.com/about.html but if all you are guna do is go "mudin" thats really not that hard on a vechicle and I'm sure any kit would work

muddin CAN be just as hard on a vehicle as any other kind of wheeling. it just depends on how hard you drive your truck.

BS! Some kits are made more for looks and light mudding because they don't offer you the flex/travel/strength to do anything extreme. Biggest clue ever to whether or not a lift is really made for heavy use is whether it comes with springs or blocks for the rear. Blocks are bad news when you're offroad!

I agree... mudding, especially with its high dependency on power and traction, requires and very stout setup and strong running gear.
^To you guys above, 99.9% of offroading us common guys do does not justify buying a Camburg kit. I don't need Deavers and I don't need a long travel coilover kit with dual reservoir shocks. Its jut not practical. Almost no one does.

I completely understand that, but I still say mudding isn't "hard" on a truck unless you're going balls to the wall into every mud hole you come to...

"muding" is not that hard on a vechicle. Back when I was 16 and I thought it was cool I had a toyota with a 9 inch lift and 35's and I beat the crap out of it and never did much more than crack a few things. When i moved onto prerunning, what I was hopping this forum was about, I have broken frames and all sorts of varius suspesion components. That form of offroading is much more hard on a vechicle and why the components cost so much. they are subjected to much higher stresses. If your like me and you cant aford to have a shop build it, you make it your self. So once again I will say, "muding" is not that hard on a vechicle and if you crack a suspension component or break a 20 dollar autozone shock, its not going to be that hard to replace it.
But back to the origonal question. I would chose what you are looking for more based on cost and secondly looks. Your not going to break whatever you buy

Oh that's right, blowing lockers, snapping half-shaft's, CV's, Tie Rods and BJ's aren't expensive are they? Throwing a rod isn't eitehr I suppose?
Once again, mudding is expensive, as is prerunning. Yeah, a good long travel kit takes lots of money and time, but so does a good mud setup. STRONG axles, shafts, engine internals, transfer cases, beefy suspension parts, etc. Both are gonna cost you boatloads of money.
You are ignorantly comparing apples to oranges.

This is a 2wd forum, there are no half shafts, transfer cases or cv's.
honestly, when is the last time you heard of someone blowing a lockers on a 2wd truck or on a 4wd for that matter while mudding
who's compairing apples to oranges now tiger

Nice edit... how long did it take you to think up that response?
Yeah, no one on here EVER talks about blowing a G80 while playing around do they?
Seriously, if you don't have something positive to say, stay out of this thread. We'll handle it.

Yea it happens once in a while, usually it's because their axle has had it's abuse. But mudding to your average guy will not usually do any damage except a few scratches in the paint, maybe a flat tire. I have to say this, it definately costs more to build a prerunner then a mud truck.

Bulletproof's kit is not a "mudding" kit... it's a lift kit. Why are you talking about mudding in a 2wd forum... nobody does any actual, hardcore mudding in a 2wd, so there's no sense in talking about it. You just keep making useless replies, stating obvious facts, then acting like you're educated because you repeated them.

Ummmmm.... I think he was being sarcastic there... :read: Again, stating the obvious...

Wow, the OP came in looking for info on a Bulletproof kit, and it turned into a debate over prerunners/"mud" trucks...OK. Obviously the guy isn't looking for a prerunner setup or else he wouldn't be looking at a Bulletproof kit in the first place. A prerunner is a completely different breed all it's own. I doubt the guy is looking for something to go 100mph through the desert with and making 40-50ft jumps with.

Bulletproof kits are known for being big, that is about it. I know many people, particularly Ford owners, that are unsatisfied with their kits. Stick with Full Throttle or Cognito is you want a big kit, Procomp 7" or Fabtech 7".

yeah bulletproof is good stuff! their kits are more show truck status, i wouldnt take the huge kits off road, the 7" would be fine though, their factory is in the dirtyist of towns right next to my city, but those guys are rollin around on the nicest trucks ive ever seen!
Don't know much about 'em, except that they look friggin awesome! I would definitely consider bulletproof (if i had a chevy...not yet)...i think the Full-throttle lifts look good too....anybody know the price-range of the 12" lift kits for the Bulletproof?
*sorry, don't mean to threadjack. Just want a quick answer for a price range.
14" bullet kit, 37" BFG all terrs and 20" motometals was gonna run me 9300 installed,

ive heard cognito kits were crap, a guy that does trucks around here looked at a truck with their bigger kit and said stuff was welded horribly or something?
