This BDS 4.5" lift kit improves the stance and capability of your 2011-2019 Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500 HD 4WD, with clearance for up to 35" tires. BDS uses a No Torsion Bar Drop System, mounting the torsion bars to the top of the lower a-arm to maximize ground clearance. Up front it runs torsion bar relocation brackets, high-arched 1/4" steel crossmembers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, HD skid plates and CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles. The rear uses replacement lift blocks and a u-bolt flip kit for max clearance. This kit ships with NX2 Nitro shocks: nitrogen-charged twin-tube design with 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving.
