  • 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.

3" Lift Kits: Designed for simple bolt-on installation, these 3" lift kits allow clearance for up to 35" tires. At the heart of these systems are a pair of heavy duty tubular upper control arms (UCAs) designed for improve strength and allow for additional suspension travel. These new control arms are built from thick wall 1.5" DOM tubing, and use an indexed ball joint cup to reposition the upper ball joints. These arms come fully assembled right out of the box with high quality greaseable ball joints and rubber bushings for long life, quiet operation and superior corrosion resistance over uniballs and heims. Along with the control arms, a pair of indexed cast steel torsion bar keys are supplied up front to lift vehicle. A small differential relocation kit is supplied to correct CV axle operating angles without effecting ground clearance. To eliminate sway bar interference, a pair of sway bar relocation brackets is used which maintains proper operating angle. In the rear a 2" block and u-bolt kit is used to create a level to slightly tail high stance when unloaded. Rounding out these kits are your choice of either specially tuned FOX 2.0 performance series IFP shocks or step up to the FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series DSC adjustable shocks for next level performance.

5"/6.5" Lift Kits: At the heart of these 5"/6.5" lift systems, BDS utilizes a pair of 1/4" thick laser cut high clearance crossmembers to maximize clearance and provide a solid mounting point for the OE lower control arms. These paired with the heavy duty front skid plate create a rigid subframe while adding protection for vital steering and driveline components. In place of the factory steering knuckles are a pair of specially designed ductile iron replacement steering knuckles are supplied to maintain proper steering geometry for ESC system compatibility. The front differential is repositioned with BDS's multipoint relocation bracket system to secure the front differential to keep CV axle angles at a minimum. To help maximize clearance a pair of specially designed torsion bar relocations brackets are supplied to mount to the lower control arms to retain the factory high clearance frame mounted crossmember.

I have the 6.5” kit on my 21 Sierra 2500. Is it possible to change it to a 5” lift without buying a complete kit?

Hey Will,
Majority of the components cross over between the 5″ and 6.5″ lift heights so you would not need to purchase the complete kit. Contact our sales team to discuss the parts list or head to your local BDS dealer for them to assist you.

Hey Lou,
Sorry to hear that, while its not typical mistakes do happen in packaging. Please contact our sales/customer service team directly for a replacement

Hello. I just purchased a 2022 3500 AT4 HD and a 6.5” bds kit and I wanna replicate the look of the 2021 at4 HD in your pictures and YouTube video. What size rims and tires does it have ? Thank you for your help.

Hey Davie, at this point we have not test fit the 2022 model HDs to officially confirm compatibility. While we don’t expect there to be any fitment differences from 2020-2021 to 2022, as a policy we don’t make assumptions and will test fit before listing these. Keep an eye out for updates soon as that is a vehicle we’ll be bringing in ASAP.

My 2022 Highkuntry is on order, I’d like to know when these lifts will be available for the 22 models!! I love the 5” with 37’s on 22’s look!

Hey Chris, congrats on the new truck. 2022 HDs are on our list to test fit and confirm fitment. While we don’t expect any differences between the 2020-2021 and 2022 HD model years, per company policy we won’t officially list them until we have test fit all products. Keep an eye out for updates.

OK, we just received our 2022 Chevy High Country Z-71 4×4 Duramax yesterday so I’m gonna go out on a limb here and purchase the 6.5 lift and install it along with a set of 37” x 12.50 x 20” Toyo Open Country M/T’s mounted on a set of Black Rhino Abrams 20” x 10”. If for some reason there has been a change in the suspension I’m assuming that BDS would work with me and switch out any part or parts that would need to be changed. RIGHT? I don’t believe there has been any changes from 2020 Thru 2022.

Hey Rusty, we wouldn’t leave you hanging, but at the same time if we haven’t test fit to know what (if anything) updates are needed we can’t be expected to know the solution until we source a vehicle to do test fitment.

I have a 2022 3500 Denali coming in hopefully this week. Shows dispatched. Im looking to keep the best ride as I can. Looking more for a stance than height. I would like to get the same look as I had with my 2015 with 20 x 12 x 33″s with a negative 44 but now that more offset option are available I’m not opposed to changing that. The 2015 did have a 5″ zone that I wasn’t happy with the ride quality. Lift or level. So many opposing opinions on what to go with.
