Lift Your Truck with the Good Stuff from BDS Suspension

BDS Suspension got its start in 1995 when the owners decided they could build better lift kits and other suspension components than what was available at the time. Sure seems like they succeeded as we see plenty of trucks with BDS kits.

BDS Suspension backs what they make, too. Haul, tow, jump, bash it on the trail—if your BDS product ever breaks they’ll replace it, no questions asked. You can do things like that when you build quality stuff.

Summit Racing carries a big selection of BDS Suspension products including these:

Suspension Lift Kits
Available in lift heights from one to nine inches, BDS Suspension Lift Kits use BDS's tried and true high-clearance design for improved ground clearance strength and off-road protection. The kits also correct suspension and steering geometry for great on-road handling characteristics.

Depending on the application, BDS Suspension Lift Kits may include:
• Heavy-duty four-link control arms improve handling and caster control 
• Heavy-duty tubular steel radius arms correct caster while maintaining ground clearance
• Pro-Ride coil springs provide the correct lift height and a smooth ride
• Glide-Ride leaf springs with a progressive design for a smooth ride
• Fabricated steel blocks provide level stance from front to rear

BDS Suspension Lift Kits are available with your choice of NX2 Nitro Series or Fox 2.0 Performance Series shocks. Both have vehicle-specific valving to improve suspension control and ride quality.

NX2 Nitro Shocks have a nitrogen-charged twin-tube design with 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving. Other features include a 1 3/8-inch fluon-banded piston with self-lubricating seals and a 14mm hardened chrome shaft to help resist rock chips and corrosion.

Fox 2.0 Shocks have a monotube design with internal reservoir that separates the shock oil from the high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber. An internal floating piston eliminates oil aeration for maximum performance Other features include a CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum body and a 5/8-inch hard chrome plated, heat-treated alloy steel shaft.

BDS Suspension Lift Kits are available for many popular GM, Ford, Dodge/RAM, and Toyota trucks as well as Jeep CJ and Wrangler/Gladiator.

Fox 2.5 Coilover Conversion Upgrade Kits
BDS Suspension Fox 2.5 coilovers have application-specific valving and are ready to install right out of the box. The coilovers have a remote reservoir for additional fluid capacity to keep your shocks running cool. These kits are designed to upgrade trucks with BDS lift kits for seamless integration.

Other features include:
• Mount in factory coil bucket location
• Eibach coil springs are pre-set to level your vehicle, can be adjusted for preload and ride height
•10 low-speed and 12 high-speed compression settings
• 2.5-inch diameter ], CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum body
• 7/8-inch hard chrome plated, heat-treated alloy steel shaft

BDS Fox 2.5 Coilover Conversion Upgrade Kits are available for late model Chevy/GMC, Dodge/RAM, and Ford F-Series trucks.

Long Arm Lift Kits for Jeep
A BDS Suspension Long Arm Lift Kit will improve your Jeep’s off-road articulation and make room for larger tires. Most applications offer a choice of NX2 Nitro, Fox 2.0, or Fox 2.5 shocks.

Other features include:
• 4-link long arms improve articulation and offer better control 
• Pro-Ride coil springs provide the correct lift height and a smooth ride
• Sway bar quick disconnects and extended rear link provide improved off-road flex
• Front HD track bar correctly positions the front axle and controls lateral movement
• Kits for Jeeps with rear leaf springs come with BDS Glide-Ride multi-leaf springs that reduce axle wrap and create a more controlled feel
