When the guys at Bushwacker needed a killer suspension system for their extreme XJ project they knew to call BDS! Their purpose of this project was to develop their new “Flat Fender” flares for the XJ’s. This rig is sporting the BDS 6.5″ 4 Link Long Arm on a set of 33″ Mickey’s. Installing their new “Flat Style” flares should leave plenty room for some 35’s. Check out the new flares (#10922-07) on www.bushwacker.com

If you are a Discovery Channel junky like myself, then I’m sure you’ve seen the Howe & Howe Tech TV show.  In every episode they build amazing tanks and crazy machines.  These are two guys that seriously know machine design.  When Mike and Geoff contacted us about lifts for their trucks, we were flattered.  We were hoping to get a company personal assault vehicle out of the deal, but that has yet to materialize.

Mickey Thompson dropped off their JK to the R&D facility to get a 4.5″ long arm kit installed.  The BDS long arm kit gives the Jeep superior road manners and truly makes it a daily driver.  The included sway bar disconnects really let the JK flex when off-road.  This JK will be touring the west coast this summer and hitting up lots of shows and off road events.  Here are some pictures in case you don’t get out to see it in person. Specifications: BDS 4.5″ Long Arm Kit Dick Cepek 35×12.50×17″ Mud Country Tires 17×9″ Mickey Thompson Side Biter Wheels Warn 9.0 Rc Series Winch Fab Fours Bumpers Tom Woods Driveshafts are on their way …and a whole lot more

Matt Evans of Genoa, IL is a true BDS fan. We just received these pictures of Matt’s ’98 Grand Cherokee with a 4.5 inch BDS lift and his ’98 Cherokee with a 6.5″ BDS lift. Matt’s a wrencher and a founding member of Down and Dirty Offroad club. “I started Down and Dirty Offroad not only to have a club and get to know new people, but to give back to the community. That’s what this fantastic hobby is all about, giving back to the community and Mother Earth.”  Matt’s favorite place to wheel is Cliff’s Insane Terrain in Marseilles, IL.  For club events or more information, visit their website www.ddoffroad.com

Recently we received this email and picture from Charlie Stevens, VP of PA Jeeps, Inc. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to meet Charlie at any of the PA Jeeps shows, you know he’s a great guy and a loyal BDS customer. By purchasing his mods during the “Make Tracks to Cabela’s with BDS” promotion, Charlie received a $100 Cabela’s gift card courtesy of BDS. Thanks Charlie…enjoy! “I purchased my 2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport right off the showroom floor and within two weeks had it delivered to Hoak’s Four Wheel Drive Center in Wrightsville, PA. Hoak’s 4WD Center installed a 3″ BDS Suspension system and 33″ BFG KM Mud Terrains. This started my personal relationship with the folks at Hoak’s and BDS Suspension. In 2006 I asked Hoak’s to install a Sid Row engine and transmission skid plate, a set of BDS lower fixed control arms in the front and add…

Here are the pics of Eric Propst’s 06 65th Anniversary Jeep Liberty. He is bound and determined to make this a very capable jeep and of course with BDS it’s a step in the right direction. I personally think the kit with tires made a 200% improvement.
