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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the rear BDS offers both replacement lift block 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 shocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFits:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChevrolet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2002-2006 Avalanche 2500 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2006 Silverado 1500 HD 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2010 Silverado 2500 HD 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2007-2010 Silverado 3500 HD 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2010 Suburban 2500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGMC:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2006 Sierra 1500 HD 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2010 Sierra 2500 HD 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2007-2010 Sierra 3500 HD 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2010 Yukon XL 2500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eNotes:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis system is available with two different knuckle designs.
