How can your truck feel like a monster unless it has monster lift! Bring your Chevrolet or GMC to new heights (literally) with this monster 6.5" system from the suspension gurus at BDS. Once again BDS beats the competition and is first to market with this comprehensive High Clearance suspension lift kit. This 6-1/2" lift kit utilizes high arched crossmembers that blend perfectly with the angle of the factory installed lower control arms for a completely integrated look while lifting your vehicle a full 6.5 inches, dramatically increasing ground clearance at the front crossmembers and improving operating geometry. Torsion bars are mounted directly to the top of the lower A-arm eliminating the need to drop the torsion bar crossmember. A front skid plate and differential skid plate come standard, to lock everything together, creating a nearly indestructible sub frame for extreme off road protection. The rear is lifted with your choice of a 3", 4" or 5" block for easy installation and a level stance. For most applications, a 3" block will provide a slightly tail-low stance, a 4" block is most common for a level front/rear stance, and a 5" block will deliver a slightly tail high stance or a slight rake effect, especially useful for those hauling heavier loads without the use of airbags. Shock Options: We offer this kit with two shock options, you can either choose to go with the proven BDS NX2 series shocks, or upgrade to the FOX 2.0 Performance Series. BDS NX2 series gas shocks offer impressive performance on and offroad. They use a nitrogen charged, twin tube design with 10-stage velocity sensitive valving for lightning fast dampening and superior control. The FOX 2.0 are considered an upgrade and have been tuned and tested in a collaborative effort between Fox and BDS in order to maximize performance. The basic shock design is based on proven FOX Racing Shox race products, but redesigned to maximize ride quality, handling, and control of your BDS equipped truck, whether on or off road. FOX 2.0 Performance Series is not available in a 4" lift. Check out the install article done by Four Wheeler Magazine by clicking HERE. Please select from the various options to customize your BDS suspension system. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

About BDS Suspension

BDS Suspension was started in 1996 by a business group who felt it was past time to create a suspension company that truly had the best interest of the off road consumer as its' foundation. With over 45 combined years experience with other major suspension companies, both buying and selling, the individuals that would make up the BDS name were frustrated by the lack of quality and the unwillingness to make things right by these 4x4 companies. So, they set out to create a suspension company that would be the best and made a list of the things they felt were not right and made it their mission to correct them.

One of the most important of these wrongs they were looking to right were that of other companies warranties. Too often, the standard protocol was that a broken or damaged part from another manufacturer was denied warranty because of abuse or neglect. For BDS, its simple, if it breaks, they'll replace it, and that is the motto in which they have based their entire warranty off of. So, they welcome you, try and break it, if you do, they'll replace it and probably try to determine a way to increase the rigidity of the product to ensure it never happens again.

BDS LIFT KITS

While most people whom have heard of BDS Suspension automatically think of "lift kits," that ony touches on the wide variety of suspension and steering related products that BDS offers. BDS understands that not everyone is after a complete lift kit, but still after the quality BDS products bring to the table. Some of our most popular products from BDS are replacement adjustable track bars and dual steering stabilizer kits that in many instances can be installed on a completely stock truck, or one that's leveled or lifted. Other popular "non lift kit" parts are leveling kits that include upgraded shocks, progressive rate coil springs, heavy duty control or radius arms, and even leaf springs.
