Description

Designed to improve stance performance and capability the BDS 4.5-inch lift kit for the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 HD 4WD is a must have upgrade. For maximum ground clearance BDS designed a No Torsion Bar Drop System where the torsion bars are mounted directly to the top of the lower a-arm eliminating the need to drop the torsion bar cross-member. This kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 33" 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 torsion bar relocation brackets 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. 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 both replacement lift block and full Glide-Ride leaf spring options 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 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 factory tie rod ends to maintain steering angles for proper function..

Features

  • High Clearance design w/ no torsion bar drop maximizes ground clearance
  • BDS Suspension offers a huge assortment of truck, SUV and Jeep lift kits and truck accessories
  • Robust steering knuckles maintain ESC system compliance
  • HD skid plate system improved offroad protection
  • Multipoint differential relocation brackets to secure the front axle and improve CV angles
  • Factory Protection Plus drivetrain warranty included
  • FOX 2.0 Performance Series: 2-inch Impact extruded aluminum body, Internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, Massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, Race-developed high-flow piston design, Application-specific valving to maximize performance, Long-lasting clear anodized finish
  • Track Width Option: This system is available with two different knuckle designs. The standard knuckle widens the track width, but does not affect the turning radius. The narrow track knuckle reduces the total track width change by about 1.5" overall but does increase the turning radius slightly.

Notes

  • Torsion Bar tool required to load/unload the torsion bars.
  • Does NOT work with rear Autoride equipped SUV's
  • Some welding is required.
  • Requires frame bracket modification and differential mount modification.
  • Traction bars will not fit standard cab/short box models and are designed to work on vehicles with 4" to 8" of lift.
  • 20" wheels with 5" to 5-3/4" backspacing recommended to reduce trimming.
  • Gas models require exhaust modification.
  • Narrow track knuckle will slightly increase the turning radius.
  • For tail high stance use #119157 add-a-leaf with the block kit.
  • Not Recommended for Suburban / Yukon models with AutoTrac Transfer Case.
