BDS Suspension Lift Kit

Important Kit Notes

  1. Measure rear axle tube before ordering. Some 4" axle models with dual overloads will require UBT4068.
  2. Rear lift options will not fit dually applications.
  3. If driveline vibration occurs, order either transfer case drop. NOTE: 122606 transfer case drop kit will only replace the OE bracket #52121938AA
  4. Additional front driveline modification may be required.
  5. Exhaust modification will be required for dual rear shock kit 122009.
  6. 2500 Gas models will require modification to the front exhaust crossover pipe on driver side for proper clearance when a transfer case indexing ring kit is installed
  7. If your Truck has had the steering gear box changed and the sector shaft diameter measures ~1-1/2"-1-5/8" you will need to add part # BDS082404 to your kit.

This 8" lift kit includes progressive rate, front Pro-Ride Coil Springs and heavy duty, long upper and lower control arms. The long arm lift kit includes solid upper long arms and tubular lowers to reduce caster change through wheel travel creating a more controlled feeling in the steering wheel both on and off road. This 4-Link long arm system retains the factory triangulation of the arms as well which adds to the stability of the suspension system. What does this mean ? Basically it drives great both on and off road. All four control arms are greasable for long term performance. A dropped forged pitman arm is included to maintain the factory steering angles. A track bar relocation bracket properly centers the axle under the vehicle. Extended bump stops and sway bar links maintain the OE characteristics.
