Bulletproof or Mcgaughy?

I’m going with a 10” lift on my 2017 chevy Silverado 4x4 z71 quad cab. I was looking at bulletproof (complete upgrade) package. But I know mcgaughy is popular as well. I need facts and opinions.

I have had a MCG on my truck for 3 years. No issues at all and I love it. 2 small gripes
1) If you are not familiar with suspension, the instructions SUCK! ( I hear they were working on that, but I don't know)
2) Plan an hour of your time to sort the fasteners, as you get 1 bag with 10 pounds of nuts bolts and washers all mixed together.

Again, I ordered this 3 years ago. I did not have the lower shock bushing squish out like others, and have been very happy.

another vote for Cognito. Very well built kits, and IMO for a 10in lift they have the best looking crossmember/ subframe.

But I dont think the McGaughys is what you're looking for since they only offer a 7in lift, and to get that extra 2in to get to 9in is essentially like adding a leveling kit on top. so it wont ride quite as nice as a true 10in kit.

Well all I can say is I dont like any of their websites compared to bulletproof. One like u said mcGaughys only 7-9 even though I’ve seen 10-12. But idk, bulletproof with its best option is the best priced for the money. And I really like the way they look. I appreciate the comments though very much. But I will have to check out Imo though.

I have a bulletproof lift and have been working with them over the last couple of weeks to replace some components. Maybe they took heed to the reviews because they have been awesome to deal with
