\n\t\tTAKE YOUR 2020-’23 CHEVY \/ GMC TRUCK TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH THE NEW BDS 6.5″ COILOVER CONVERSION\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

There’s no denying that 2020-’23 Chevy and GMC trucks are tough, but we’re making them a whole lot tougher with our latest BDS system. The new BDS 6.5″ FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Coilover Conversion Suspension System takes the best elements of the time-honored BDS high-clearance IFS and brings things to the next level.<\/p>\n

The biggest piece of the puzzle? FOX’s 2.5 Performance Elite (PE) coilovers. These coilovers replace the torsion bar suspension and drastically improve the truck’s ride quality and overall performance both on and off the road. The shocks’ aluminum body helps with heat dissipation, and the dual-speed compression (DSC) adjusters in the reservoir give maximum control in high and low speed conditions. For high speed, there are 12 adjustment points. For low, there are 10. The coilovers come pre-tuned, fully assembled and ready to bolt on to your truck.<\/p>\n

In signature BDS fashion, the components are rugged, and the installation is straightforward. The coilovers mount to a bolt-in bracket where the shocks originally were, while a weld-in support gusset reinforces the upper mount. Even with the required welding, the kit is easily removable and transferrable to another truck. When we designed this kit, we knew strength was critical. With that in mind, we opted for heavy duty upper and lower control arms. Built from 1.5″ OD x .120-wall tubing, the upper control arms were engineered specifically to work with the 2.5 coilovers. The same goes for the lower control arms. They’re made of high-strength steel, and they’re fully boxed and internally gusseted. Premium ball joints and OEM-style rubber bushings help keep things quiet, while strengthened tie rods add an extra degree of durability. All components are powdercoated black, creating the perfect blend of form and function.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe improvements don’t stop there\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

The system includes a pair of one-piece, laser cut high clearance crossmembers, CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles (to correct tie rod angles and upper ball join position), a front skid plate and differential skid plate to protect your truck on any terrain. We also added multipoint differential relocation brackets, longer sway bar links and braided stainless steel extended brake lines. Our HD inner and outer tie rod kit is also included.<\/p>\n

In the rear, you have your choice of a 3″ or 5″ block and U-bolt kit to get your truck sitting exactly how you like it. The latter comes with a U-bolt flip kit, a new spring plate and round U-bolts for maximum strength and ground clearance. To round out the package, you have your choice of FOX 2.0 IFP gas shocks or FOX 2.5 Performance Elites to match the front.<\/p>\n

By the numbers, this system covers it all. You’ll get 6.5″ of lift, a 2″ wider front track width, 30% improvement in wheel travel and the ability to run 38″ tires.<\/p>\n
