Important Notes

  • U-bolts will not work vehicles equipped with top-mounted overload springs or add-a-leafs.
  • Compatible with gas or diesel models.
  • Compatible with standard models as well as AT4 models.
  • Some minor trim will be required with certain wheel/tire combination. This is normal with most aftermarket tire/wheel fitment on Chevy/GM trucks. Trimming will normally included the bottom edge of the inner fender shrouds and/or lower corner of front bumper valance. As a rule of thumb, deeper backspacing and shorter/narrower tires will reduce/eliminate trimming required. Further trimming tips are included at the end of this instruction sheet.

  • BDS’s exclusive No Fine Print Warranty

Hi Xavier, our plan at this point is to offer the coilover conversion at (2) ride heights 2.5-3″ and 6.5″. Majority of the base components are the same between the 5″ and 6.5″ kits, however due to the design of the UCA/LCA they will not be recommended for use at the 5″ height.

Does the rear lift come with a 3” block or 4.5”?
I’m thinking of using a 3” and setting the front to 4” if this kit will accommodate this set. (2022 gmc 3500 hd Denali srw)

Hi Brian, the 5″ kit uses a 4.5″ rear block. The bracketry (crossmembers, diff drops, knuckles, etc) are all designed to correct geometry at the 5-6.5″ lift height so its not recommended to set the front ride height lower. For more on the topic contact our tech support team at (517) 279-2135

Carter – Is that a 9″ wide wheel, and what offset is the 5″ lift truck shown above running? Thanks in advance!

Hey Tony,
The truck with the gray wheels is running the 5″ kit, 37×12.50 Nitto Ridges and 20×9 Fuel Hostage IIIs (5″ backspacing)
