BDS 1988-1998 CHEVY,GMC K1500 4WD 6" LIFT BLOCK KIT WITH FOX 2.0 SHOCKS

Brand New BDS Suspension 6" Lift Kit with Front FOX 2.0 Shocks, Rear FOX 2.0 Shocks, 5 Inch Block Kit, and Add-A-Leaf (Part #BDS193FS).

Engineered to improve stance, performance, and capability, the BDS 6-inch lift kit for the 1988-1998 Chevy and GMC K1500 and K2500 6 Lug trucks is a must have upgrade. For maximum drivability, BDS designed this kit around heavy duty upper control arms and steering knuckles that offers zero track width change. 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 off-road protection while correcting suspension and steering geometry for great on-road handling characteristics. Up front, the kit utilizes torsion bar drop brackets, heavy duty upper control arms, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers along with a multipiece differential relocation brackets and heavy duty skid plates built for off-road 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 / add-a-leaf combo 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.
