Description
Does driving sometimes feel like you're on a horse and carriage? Looking to give your truck a new look and feel that gets you above the morning commute? The experts at BDS designed this kit to not only lift your truck four inches but also provide a smooth ride to outperform the competition. The new 4-Link brackets mount similar to the current radius arm relocation brackets, wrapping the frame and nesting in the factory radius arms mounts. As with their radius arm brackets, there is a minor amount of welding required to install the threaded frame insert (1 per side). This insert is necessary to provide the strongest possible mount. The new control arm positions at the frame create better suspension geometry and reduce caster change through wheel travel compared to the radius arm setup. This creates better handling and a more controlled steering "feel", especially in rough terrain when the suspension is allowed to travel and articulate.The large-diameter, heavy-wall tubular control arms are formed for tire clearance when turning. They also position the axle slightly forward from stock to create more clearance to the rear portion of the front fenders. BDS designed massive 2.5" progressive-rated coil springs for the rear providing you with a smooth ride. The coil springs will also hold up to any load your truck was built to handle. 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 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 basic 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. FOX 2.5 Performance Elite - For next-level performance, FOX has developed the 2.5 Performance Elite Series. These shocks are ready straight out of the box as they are tuned specifically for the BDS suspension systems. These 2.5" diameter shocks are ready to run through a wall for you with race-proven technology. Equipped with a remote reservoir for additional fluid capacity, it keeps heat down through the system. DSC Adjuster is controlled with a twist of either two knobs giving you 10 low-speed and 12 high-speed compression levels so you can be ready every time. Steering Stabilizer Options: Single FOX 2.0 IFP Performance Series: The FOX 2.0 IPF Performance Series Steering Stabilizer is made from the same base components as the 2.0 performance series shocks and is properly valved and pressurized to be the ultimate stabilizer. Internal IFP mono-tube reservoir gives superior handling on top of increased durability. Dual NX2 Nitro Series: Is one not enough? Then upgrade to a dual steering stabilizer setup which gives further enhanced vehicle control and lessens side-to-side motion to a greater effect. Heavy off-roading requires a heavy suspension that can handle it but can still be smooth on asphalt. Dual FOX 2.0 Performance Series: Taking things even further is the dual FOX 2.0 setup. Built to last from the top up this performance setup will enhance control, reduce shimmy and bump steer, and improve tire wear and front-end component life. Protect your investment and smooth out your rough spots before they leave you figuratively hanging. Rear Adjustable Track Bar Option: When installing a lift kit, it's important to keep the correct geometry for your axle and the rest of the suspension system. If you don't, you will be adding extra stress where you don't want it and it can start to wear down your bushing, ball joints, and control arms. Use a rear adjustable track bar to keep proper alignment by centering the axle and giving you better handling on top.

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.
