Description

Take your 1988-1991 Chevy and GMC 3/4 ton Suburban to the next level with this 4-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 35" tires.

Up front the lift kit includes Glide-Ride leaf springs, 4" steering arm for steering correction, brake line brackets and precision tuned NX2 nitrogen charged shocks. In the rear this kit utilizes a high-strength lift block, longer u-bolts and a matching set of NX2 Nitro shocks.

Glide-Ride Leaf Springs

Built to outperform, BDS engineered the Glide-Ride leaf springs into a multi-leaf progressive spring rate design that provides a smooth ride with any load. This is accomplished with an exclusive triple-stage leaf spring design. Upgrading to BDS Glide-Ride leaf springs will provide flexibility throughout the suspension cycle.
