BDS Project KJ Video Overview
A few years back we overhauled a worn out, run of the mill, grocery getter of a ’05 Liberty CRD to take on the 4Wheel & Offroad Ultimate Adventure. The plan was simple, start with the most hated Jeep that we knew of at the time (to many the KJ that replaced the beloved XJ) and turn it into something cool, different, and most importantly capable offroad. Using a mix of off the shelf parts and some custom fabrication the BDS R&D build a low slung diesel rock crawler that is ready for Moab or a trip to the dunes. Check out our latest overview video on BDS’s Project KJ and to see more on hos this Jeep was transformed from stock to what it is today check out the blog thread complete with photos, videos and writeups at https://blog.bds-suspension.com/?cat=393&paged=6
HD Coilover Conversion Testimonial
We love hearing customer feedback, how they use their BDS-equipped rides and where they explore. Pro snowmobile rider and Ski-Doo ambassador Tony Jenkins can be found regularly in the backcountry powder across the US and Canada in search of epic sledding spots. For transport his 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Duramax is outfitted with a sled deck along with a BDS 2.5″ coilover conversion system to fit 34s. Tony recently sent us a message with some feedback on the coilover conversion kits that deleted his factory torsion bar suspension… “Wanted to shoot you an update on my truck since building it up last summer. For one, what an incredible suspension set up and ride quality it delivers. I’m at almost 20k miles in and I’m always impressed with how it rides and handles, whether loaded down or not. Anyone who rides in the truck is always blown away how nice it…
