Description

Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, the BDS 6-inch lift kit for the 2001-2010 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 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 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 NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks.

Features & Benefits

  • High Clearance design w/ no torsion bar drop 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
  • Choice of NX2 or FOX 2.0 gas shocks for improved performance

Recommended Tires & Wheels

(Trimming may be required)

  • 35 x 12.5 with 16 x 8 and 4.5 in. Backspace
  • 35 x 12.5 with 17 x 9 and 5.5 in. Backspace
  • 35 x 12.5 with 20 x 9 and 5.75 in. Backspace

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.

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.

Shock Option

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

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

Important Notes

  1. Torsion Bar tool required to load/unload the torsion bars.
  2. Some welding is required.
  3. Requires frame bracket modification and differential mount modification.
  4. Traction bars will NOT fit standard cab/short box models and are designed to work on vehicles with 4" to 8" of lift. Will NOT work on long bed models.
  5. 20" wheels with 5" to 5-3/4" backspacing are recommended to reduce trimming.
  6. Gas models require exhaust modification.
  7. The narrow track knuckle will increase the minimum full lock turning radius and you will not be able to turn as sharply.
  8. For tail high stance use #119157 add-a-leaf with the block kit or #069207 with the leaf spring kit.
  9. Dually applications will require custom u-bolts.
  10. Leaf spring option does not work with the SUV's.
