Pro-Ride Coil Springs
A pair of full-length gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth predictable ride across various terrains.
4-Link Conversion
Convert the factory stamped steel radius arms over to the BDS 4-link to optimize suspension geometry for better handling characteristics while adding strength and stability. This bolt-on upgrade utilizes high-strength 1/4-inch steel brackets that allow mounting of HD upper and lower control arms to correct axle positioning while limiting caster change throughout wheel travel.
BDS Glide-Ride Leaf Springs
Built to outperform BDS engineered the Glide-Ride leaf springs into a multi-leaf progressive spring rate design that provides a smooth ride with any load. This is accomplished with an exclusive triple-stage leaf spring design where the main leaf pack is broken into two stages:
Upgrading to BDS Glide-Ride leaf springs will reduce axle wrap and provide flexibility throughout the suspension cycle.
Features
- Easy 100% Bolt-on installation
- Pro-Ride dual rate coil springs provide a remarkable ride through any terrain
- Heavy duty 4-Link control arms offer improved handling stability strength and caster control during wheel travel
- Track bar relocation bracket and pitman arm maintain proper steering angles for improved handling
- Glideride leaf springs to provide full lift height and increased capacity with a built in overload spring
- 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
- Exhaust modification may be required to clear the front driveshaft (gas only)
- Front bumper spacer kit may be required to run 38"x15.50" tires
- Although extremely rare front driveline vibration may occur
- If equipped with 2-piece rear driveshaft a driveshaft alignment kit (#123406) will be required
- Front driveshaft u-joints may max out at full droop. If so a new front shaft will be required.
- If equipped with a rear sway bar #123009 is required.
- U-bolts will not work on dually.
- Front auxiliary shocks can be omitted from kit - the system can be used with C/O installed alone
