BDS Suspension 5" High Clearance Lift Kit 20-25 GM 2500HD / 3500

Bring your L5P Duramax powered Chevrolet or GMC to new heights (literally) with this monster 5" High Clearance System from the suspension gurus at BDS. At the heart of this 5" system, BDS utilizes a pair of 1/4" thick laser cut high clearance cross members to maximize clearance and provide a solid mounting point for the OE lower control arms. Combined with the cross member is the heavy-duty front skid plate creating a rigid subframe while adding protection for vital steering and driveline components. In place of the factory steering knuckles are a pair of specially designed ductile iron replacement knuckles that maintain proper steering geometry for ESC system compatibility. The front differential is repositioned with BDS's multipoint relocation bracket system to secure the front differential keeping CV axle angles at a minimum. To help maximize clearance, a pair of torsion bar relocation brackets are supplied to mount to the lower control arms to retain the factory high clearance frame mounted cross member. A pair of BDS-branded sway bar drop brackets are used to correct the operating angle of the factory sway bar along with extended-length braided stainless steel brake lines. Rounding out the front of this kit are FOX 2.0 performance series IFP shocks or BDS NX2 shocks. In the rear of this 5" lift system, 4.5" lift blocks and longer u-bolts are used to lift and level the stance. Also included, BDS supplies brake line and ABS line relocation brackets allowing the use of factory brake lines. Lastly, a matching set of either FOX 2.0 performance series IFP shocks or BDS NX2 series shocks is supplied to compliment the front setup. All kits come finished in a durable textured black powder coat and are sent with hardware packs to complete the installation along with step-by-step instructions. Shock Options: NX2 Nitro Series Shocks - 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. FOX 2.0 Performance Series Shocks - Fox 2.0 performance series shocks have been tuned and tested by both FOX and BDS Suspension to maximize performance specific to each application and every BDS Suspension system. The Internal Floating Piston (IFP) shock design is based on proven Fox Racing Shocks race products but re-designed to maximize the ride quality, handling, and control of your BDS-equipped truck, whether on or off the road. Steering Stabilizer Option: Single NX2 Nitro Kit: Are you worried about your steering control? NX2 Nitro Steering Stabilizer is designed to be a high-end performance shock at an affordable price. Built with a durable metallic finish, a large fluon-banded piston, and self-lubricating seals this stabilizer is tough enough to last but tuned with vehicle-specific valving to give you amazing control. Built with both the morning commute and some light off-roading in mind, keep stress out of your steer and install one of these today! Recoil Traction Bar Kit Increase your traction and stability without limiting your movement with this BDS Recoil Traction Bar Kit. When your truck is in high torque situations, you need extra help absorbing shocks or vibrations through your system. Install these traction bars to smooth out your ride, increase stability while off-roading, and increase durability throughout your truck. PERFORMANCE UPPER CONTROL ARMS: Upgrade your Chevy/GMC HDs factory stamped steel arms to these performance upper control arms from BDS Suspension. Specially designed for leveled and lifted applications, these arms are built from high strength 1.5" OD x .120-wall steel tubing and feature an indexed ball joint cup to correct the ball joint positioning. These UCAs can be used with this BDS 5" lift kit and other lift and leveling kits on the market. The frame mounting ends feature durometer-specific rubber bushings. At the other end, premium quality ball joints for smooth, quiet operation and superior durability to arms that feature uniballs, poly bushings or heims. These upper control arms come finished in a durable semi-gloss black powder coat and include a billet aluminum machined ball joint dust cap. They integrate a mounting tab for the factory brake lines so there's no need to zip tie the lines as is the case with other kits on the market. The control arms come fully assembled for easy install right out of the box. Also included with the UCAs are a pair of optional weld-on steering stops plates (if necessary) and a wheel spacer to allow installation of the factory wheel in the event the OE wheel needs to be installed. Take your new Chevy/GMC HD to the next level with these performance upper control arms from BDS Suspension. CARRIER BEARING DROP KIT A 2-piece rear drive shaft will require some extra work as the geometry of your drive system will now have some added stress. We recommend adding this carrier bearing drop to avoid any potential driveline vibration with the added lift height.
