Ultimate Adventure 2014 Prep Underway- Project KJ
BDS Suspension is the official suspension of the 2014 Ultimate Adventure (UA), a week long, 1000+ mile offroad trail ride/back road journey hosted by 4Wheel & Offroad Magazine each year. We’ve been lucky enough to sponsor the event over the years, wheeling all corners of this great country building the type of friendships one can only make after 7 days spent without showers out 4wheeling, camping, and wrenching together. With roughly 25 vehicles in attendance, one perk of sponsoring the trip is one of the coveted spots to bring a trail rig to drive. Attendees include the event sponsors, magazine reps, camera crew and a half dozen hand-picked magazine readers in everything from JKs to flattys, Scouts to Blazers, PowerWagons and Tacos. Representing BDS this year we’ll have Dave Devormer from our engineering department and myself, Carter Reed from the marketing department taking on the UA in a 2005 Jeep Liberty Diesel. In…

BDS Suspension made the trip out to run trails, test new products and chat with customers at the 2-day vendor show. With the rigs loaded BDS made the long haul from Michigan to the red rocks of Moab, UT with Project Slate our 2013 Ram 3500 Diesel, Project KJ, our 2005 Liberty CRD, and the BDS Ram 2500 Diesel. The week in Moab was amazing. From catching up with old friends and…

Tow Rope Snowboarding at BDS Suspension
Let me start off by saying BDS Suspension in no way endorses dangerous stunts, breaking laws, and legally need to verbalize you to not try this at home… but what would you do if you had a lunch hour to kill in the middle of winter, keys to a bad ass lifted truck, an old snowboard and tow rope sitting in storage. A couple of the guys from BDS headed out to the BDS R&D shop to try out tow-rope snowboarding with Project Slate, BDS’s 2013 Ram 3500 currently sporting a BDS 6” lift kit and 37s. Check it out…
