Enhance the stance, performance, and capability of your 2011-2019 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 HD 4WD with a BDS 6.5-inch lift kit. Featuring a No Torsion Bar Drop System for maximum ground clearance, BDS mounts the torsion bars directly to the top of the lower a-arm, eliminating the need to drop the torsion bar cross-member. This comprehensive kit includes everything needed to equip your truck for clearance for up to 37" tires.

Taking advantage of BDS's high-clearance design, the kit improves ground clearance, strength, and off-road protection while correcting suspension and steering geometry for superior on-road handling. Utilizing torsion bar relocation brackets, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, and heavy-duty skid plates at the front, this kit ensures comprehensive off-road protection. CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles correct steering geometry at the new taller ride height, maintaining proper function.

Included in the kit are sway bar links, bump stop extensions, stainless steel brake lines, CV spacers, and all necessary hardware for a comprehensive front suspension lift solution.

For the rear, BDS provides replacement lift blocks to achieve a lifted and leveled stance while retaining ride quality and load capacity. A u-bolt flip kit ensures maximum clearance, paired with precision-tuned NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks.

Maximize ground clearance with BDS's heavy-duty 1/4-inch thick laser-cut crossmembers, paired with a front skid plate system that bolsters protection and rigidity.

Correct steering geometry at the new taller ride height with BDS's high-strength, CNC-machined ductile cast iron steering knuckles, ensuring proper function with factory tie rod ends.
