Description
Take your Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 to new heights with a BDS 6-inch 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 full length replacement strut shocks 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 NX2 Nitro 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 and ESC compatibility.
Features
- High clearance crossmember design maximizes ground clearance
- 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
- Leaf Springs: Eliminates any need for a lift block, Reduces axle wrap and creates a more controlled and stable feel, Multi-leaf progressive design for a smooth ride, Maintains factory payload weight ratings.
- NX2 Nitro Series: Nitrogen-charged, Twin-tube design, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, Dual-welded ends for increased strength, 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston, Self-lubricating seals, Silver powder coat finish
Notes
- Strut compressor required for installation
- This system will not fit 2007 classic models
- Installation of rear leaf springs requires removal of the fuel tank
- Requires frame bracket modification
- 20" wheels with 5" to 5-3/4" backspacing recommended to reduce trimming.
- Traction bars will not fit regular cab short box models.
- Add 121651 Auxillary Differential support bracket for AWD models. Also may require front driveline modification.
- Will not fit two-mode hybrid models with electronic power steering.
- Stock 20" wheels can be re-installed only with factory tire size. Factory 17 and 18's cannot be re-installed.
