PN. BDS2175FS

A BDS Suspension lift kit raises your truck or SUV to make room for larger tires and add ground clearance, while correcting the geometry that matters for a good ride and safe handling. Each kit is engineered for the vehicle it fits, with components chosen to restore steering, driveline and suspension angles after the lift. BDS kits are offered with a choice of shock packages, so you can match the ride to how you use your vehicle, from daily driving and towing to trail and off-road use.

Front lift: 8 in (coil spring, coil-over). Rear lift: 6 in (coil spring). Clears tires up to 38 x 15.5. Recommended tire and wheel setups: 38 x 15.5 tires on 18 x 9 wheels with 5.5 in backspacing; 40 x 13.5 tires on 20 x 9 wheels with 5.5 in backspacing. Estimated installation time is 8-10 hrs, rated moderate. Installation notes: Fits Diesel models only; Special literature required: OE Service Manual for model/year of vehicle. Refer to manual for proper disassembly/reassembly procedures of OE and related components; Adhere to recommendations when replacement fasteners, retainers and keepers are called out in the OE manual; Larger rim and tire combinations may increase leverage on suspension, steering, and related components. When selecting combinations larger than OE, consider the additional stress you could be inducing on the OE and related components; Post suspension system vehicles may experience drive line vibrations. Angles may require tuning, slider on shaft may require replacement, shafts may need to be lengthened or trued, and U-joints may need to be replaced; Secure and properly block vehicle prior to installation of BDS Suspension components. Always wear safety glasses when using power tools; If installation is to be performed without a hoist, BDS Suspension Co. Recommends rear alterations first; Due to payload options and initial ride height variances, the amount of lift is a base figure. Final ride height dimensions may vary in accordance to original vehicle attitude. Always measure the attitude prior to beginning installation; This kit requires an aftermarket high angle front drive shaft. The after market drive shaft and provided indexing ring must both be installed. It’s recommended to install the full kit then measure for the aftermarket front driveshaft to ensure you order the right length. The kit was tested with a Drive Line Plus flange and driveshaft.
