Wilson Offroad’s 4.5” XJ Win Tough Trucks
Keith Wilson from Wilson Offroad in Fayetteville, NC sent us some photos of his Jeep Cherokee XJ from the Amp Tour Tough Truck Competition. Keith pushed his Jeep to the max and took home 1st place in the competition. The Jeep sports a 4.5” BDS short arm lift kit, 32” Kumho M/Ts and 4.56 gears. Keith told us he was jumping the truck high and landing hard. “This is why I run BDS, not only for the warranty, for the strength and dependability”.

Over the next months you’ll see a flood of media coverage, vehicle features in magazines, and new products coming available. As with past years of SEMA, BDS Suspension was well represented with a mix of show trucks, off-road vehicles, and in our massive 100ft long booth.
