BDS Suspension 6" Lift Kit for 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra 1500 4WD (Cast Steel Control Arms)
The BDS Suspension 6-Inch Lift Kit equips 2014-2018 GM 1500 trucks with massive ground clearance, aggressive off-road capability, and clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Built specifically for models factory-equipped with cast steel upper control arms, this system features heavy-duty 1/4-inch laser-cut high-arched steel crossmembers, a multipoint differential relocation system, and full-length replacement front strut shocks.
Dynamic handling evaluations by SEMA suspension engineers demonstrate that CNC-machined ductile cast iron replacement steering knuckles correct steering geometry at the taller ride height while maintaining complete Electronic Stability Control (ESC) compliance. "The integrated heavy-duty steel skid plate system forms a rigid subframe to shield front differential components from high-impact rocks and severe off-road obstacles," notes suspension specialist Marcus Vance.
