BDS1838FPE | BDS Suspension 2 Inch Leveling Kit For Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD / 3500HD | Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Shocks
For 2020-2026 Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD / 3500HD
Description
Looking to level out the stance of your 2020-2026 GM 2500HD or 3500HD truck without sacrificing ride quality or suspension performance? This BDS Leveling Kit is engineered to raise the front of your truck up to 3 inches using precision designed corrected torsion keys, eliminating the factory nose-down rake while maintaining proper suspension geometry. To further enhance performance, the kit includes heavy-duty BDS tubular upper control arms that provide increased suspension travel and improved strength over the factory stamped steel arms, allowing the suspension to cycle more freely both on and off-road.
To match your driving style and performance needs, this kit is available with multiple FOX shock options. Choose FOX 2.0 Performance IFP shocks for a proven balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability, FOX 2.5 Performance HTO shocks for increased heat dissipation and improved damping control during aggressive driving over OEM dampers, or step up to FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks featuring Dual Speed Compression (DSC) adjustment. The DSC system allows drivers to independently tune high-speed and low-speed compression damping, giving you the ability to dial in ride quality, handling, and off-road performance for everything from daily driving to rough terrain. Designed to retain the factory rear ride height, this leveling kit provides a clean, aggressive stance while improving front suspension capability and maintaining the functionality your heavy-duty GM truck was built for.

Important Notes
- Disassembly/assembly of the factory torsion bar system requires the use of a special unloading tool. The GM specified tool #CH48809
- Some minor trimming may be necessary to fit certain wheel/tire combination. This is normal with most aftermarket tire/wheel fitment on Chevy/GM trucks and typically consists of trimming the bottom edge of the inner fender shrouds and/or lower corner of front bumper valance. As a rule of thumb, deeper backspacing and shorter/ narrower tires will reduce/eliminate trimming required. Further trimming tips are included at the end of this instruction sheet.
- Stock wheels and stock tires can be installed, but depending upon alignment and tire profile will be tight to the ball joint cup. Wheel spacers may be required to use stock wheels and stock tires.
- Will NOT work with AT4X or ZR2 models, lower control arm profile is different
