BDS1801FS
BDS1801FS will BDS steps up the performance and capability of the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks with 6-inch suspension lift kit. Designed to improve stance performance and capability this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 35" tires This kit takes advantage of BDS's tried and true high-clearance design for improved ground clearance strength and offroad protection while correcting suspension and steering geometry for great on-road handling characteristics. Up front the kit utilizes top mounted strut spacers high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers along with a multipiece differential relocation brackets and heavy duty skid plates built for offroad protection. Steering geometry is corrected at the new taller ride height with CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles and replacement tie rod ends allowing for ESC system compatibility. These combined with the provided sway bar drops bump stop extensions brake line brackets CV spacers supplied hardware and more provide a comprehensive front suspension lift ready for whatever you throw at it. In the rear BDS offers a heavy duty lift block to lift and level that stance. The lift block installs in place of the stock block and retains ride quality and load capacity. Also for the rear are new u-bolts brake line brackets and precision tuned NX2 Nitro or premium FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks.
High Clearance Crossmembers
BDS maximizes ground clearance with their heavy duty 1/4-inch thick laser cut perfect fit crossmembers. Paired with a front skid plate system that bolts together to create a rigid subframe while adding extra protection.
Heavy Duty Steering Knuckles
BDS corrects steering geometry at the new taller ride height using a pair of high-strength CNC machined ductile cast iron steering knuckle design to work with replacement tie rod ends to maintain steering angles for proper function and ESC compatibility.Tapered and roll-pointed leafs add flexibility and provide an even deflection rate Increased wheel travel and a softer ride from tapering allow smoother transition between leafs as compression takes place Higher articulation from bolt-style leaf alignment clamps prevents leafs from fanning out allowing leafs to twist and flex Multi-leaf progressive design for smooth ride Anti-friction pads provide a smooth and quiet ride Front Lift Height: 6 IN Front Lift Method: Cross Member Front Shock Option: strut spacer Installation Difficulty: difficult Installation Time: 8 Hrs Installation Tools: 36mm Socket-Cut Off Wheel or Equiv-ballJointSeparationTool-saw reciprocating-welder Rear Lift Height: 4 IN Rear Lift Method: Block Rear Shock Option: FOX 2 0 Performance Series Shocks Included: Yes Requires frame bracket modification. Factory 17-18" wheels cannot be reinstalled due to tie rod end interference stock 20" wheels can be reinstalled 17" wheels with 4.5" backspacing should be test fit prior to mounting the tire to ensure proper clearance to the steering knuckle / tie rod All aftermarket wheels should be test fit prior to mounting the tire to ensure proper clearance to the brake caliper. Some wheel profiles will not clear the brake caliper. These can be test fitted before the vehicle is lifted in a stock condition Actual ride height on coilover kits is closer to 6.5'' of lift 2.7L models use diesel kit for proper skid plate fitment Will NOT fit models with a single leaf spring (monoleaf) rear suspension.
