2020-2023 Chevy / GMC 1 Ton Truck 4WD 6.5″ Performance Elite Lift Kit – 1823FPE BDS Suspension

Based around the tried and true high clearance technology that has made BDS the go-to for GM HD suspension lifts, these systems have been designed from the ground up to get the most out of these trucks with the most ground clearance on the market, now available with next gen FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series shocks. These new lift systems bring comfort, handling, and capability with clearance for up to 37-38″ tires. While some companies build “kits” to fit larger tires, BDS Suspension prides itself in engineering complete suspension systems designed to take your vehicle’s performance to the next level while retaining OE-level functionality.

At the heart of these lift system, BDS utilizes a pair of 1/4″ thick laser cut high clearance crossmembers to maximize clearance and provide a solid mounting point for the OE lower control arms. These paired with the heavy duty front skid plate create a rigid subframe while adding protection for vital steering and driveline components. In place of the factory steering knuckles are a pair of specially designed ductile iron replacement steering knuckles to maintain proper steering geometry and ESC system compatibility. The front differential is repositioned with BDS’s multipoint relocation bracket system to secure the front differential and keep CV axle angles at a minimum. To aid in maximazing ground clearance, a pair of torsion bar relocations brackets are supplied to mount to the lower control arms which retain the factory high clearance frame mounted crossmember. A pair of BDS-branded sway bar drop brackets are used to correct the operating angle of the factory sway bar, along with extended length braided stainless steel brake lines. For a huge performance upgrade, these kits are now available with Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Series Remote Reservoir shocks. These large 2.5″ aluminum-bodied shocks feature DSC (Dual Speed Compression) adjustable reservoirs for additional damping capacity, better heat dispersion and tuneable ride.
