BDS Suspension 6-1/2" Lift Kit for 2000 - 2006 Chevrolet/GMC 4WD Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, and Yukon XL, Escalade AWD, 1500 1/2 ton SUVs.

The unique BDS High Clearance design is a true blend of performance, appearance, and function. The suspension geometry of this 6-1/2" lift kit creates a factory style ride with a desert racing appearance. The high arched crossmembers blend perfectly with the angle of the factory installed lower control arms for a completely integrated look while lifting your vehicle a full 6-1/2" and increasing ground clearance at the front crossmember by 91%.
This complete suspension lift kit comes with front and rear shock absorbers and ductile steering knuckles correcting steering geometry to factory angles. Heavy duty front and differential skid plates are also included for extreme off road protection.

The rear lift is accomplished with new coil springs, track bar relocation, sway bar links and extended bump stops.
Relocation bracket kit for Auto Ride equipped vehicles, gas shocks, and dual steering stabilizers are a few of the available options and upgrades when you customize this BDS 6-1/2" suspension lift kit.

This application is available with custom valved NX2 series shocks, BDS by Fox 2.0 performance series shocks or the auto-ride relocation kit that maintains the factory air shocks.

Note: Components displayed in images may change based upon selections.
