2004-2008 Ford F150 4WD 6″ and 8″ Suspension Systems

Coldwater, MI—December 18, 2014— BDS Suspension brings back the 6″ and 8″ replacement strut systems for the 2004-2008 Ford F150 4WD trucks adding to current lineup of 2″, 4″ and 6″ strut spacer suspension lifts. These new high clearance systems are designed for smooth on road comfort and improved offroad performance with room for up to 37″ tires.

Both the 6″ and 8″ systems use high arched laser cut 1/4″ thick crossmembers for additional ground clearance. These crossmembers are tied together by a heavy duty differential skid plate and supported at the frame by a pair of kicker braces creating a stout subframe to relocate the front differential and lower A-arms. In addition the front differential is repositioned using a pair of drop brackets allowing full operation of the CV axles without binding. Massive ductile iron CNC-machined steering knuckles correct the steering position without changing the track width and extended kevlar lined braided stainless steel brake lines allow full droop out of the front suspension. New high pressure gas struts are provided and work with the factory coils to provide great all around performance. The 8″ systems include an additional top mounted spacer to work with the new gas struts to achieve the full 8″.

In the rear both 6″ and 8″ systems are offered with your choice of a block + add-a-leaf kits or replacement leaf springs to raise the rear. BDS-5500 or Fox 2.0 gas shocks are supplied to to finish off the rear of these systems. As with all BDS suspension lifts the 6″ and 8″ suspension systems are backed by BDS’s No Fine Print Warranty giving you peace of mind to use it and abuse it.

Hello, your insurance should cover it, but if not the BDS Warranty will cover the parts as long as you purchased the kit directly through our website or through an authorized BDS Dealer. If this is the case, please contact our tech department by emailing them at to discuss this topic further. If you did not purchase through our website directly or through an authorized BDS Dealer, then you can purchase the individual components through an authorized BDS Dealer. You can find a dealer near you at http://bds-suspension.com/distributor-lookup

I’ve got the 6” lift in my 2008 and really like it. Can it be upgraded to the 8” lift? I’m contemplating some 37’s when I put new tires on later this year.

Hey Heath, we’ve since discontinued the ’04-08 F150 8″ lift kits and don’t have the option to convert from 6″ to 8″ available any longer. Sorry
