In place of the factory steering knuckles are a pair of specially designed ductile iron replacement steering knuckles are supplied to maintain proper steering geometry for ESC system compatibility. The front differential is repositioned with BDS's multipoint relocation bracket system to secure the front differential to keep CV axle angles at a minimum. To help maximaze clearance a pair of torsion bar relocations brackets are supplied to mount to the lower control arms to retain the factory high clearance frame mounted crossmember. A pair of BDS-branded sway bar drop brackets used to correct the operating angle of the factory sway bar along with extended length braided stainless steel brake lines.

When will the coil overs be available?

[@joseramos7476]

Can you fit the same tire rim combo with a 4 in lift?

[@lv1lf694]

The truck comes 2” inches lift from factory. If you do the 6.5” lift, does this mean it’s a 8.5” lift? Thanks for your reply!

[@fit4ya1975]

No it doesn't.

Does going to coil over suspension reduce your towing capacity and payload?

[@1kaddo]

Can you still use 4 high on the freeway with this lift?

[@jonspady996]
