BDS Suspension

I looked and couldn't find anything so I am either blind or it hasn't been discussed. Is there any reason that the BDS suspension shouldn't work on the 2019s? Their site says up to 2018s but as far as I know nothing changed but the TSS. I really don't want to miss out on their warranty and the backing of their lawyer team since they don't approve them for the 2019s but I also want the 4.5" lift.

If that is not an option then I will opt for the Icon stage 3, maybe the RXT leafs, Camburg UCAs, diff drop kit, and ABS relocation kit.

 

Just call them and ask. Maybe just haven’t updated the website.

 

Already have "Due to company policy we cannot discuss new product development. Once we are able to test kits and verify we will have announcements." I don't want to sit around hoping and waiting endlessly for them to come out with something.

 

I would just hold off if you really wants BDS. Pro Comp and Readylift are really good products as well. Not sure if Readylift has a 4 1/2 inch lift.

 

You couldn't give me a Readylift kit lol, I refuse to use blocks front or rear. Cheapest way to go which usually results in a shit ride and higher risk of failure down the road if used and abused.

 

BDS uses rear blocks. On the 7” at least.

 

Only wanted the 4.5" and was going to use shackles or full rear leaf replacements to eliminate the small blocks they still use on the 4.5"

 

@Coachbuilder1 is your carrier bearing drop recommended for an Icon Stage 3 lift? I would max the coilovers for 3" of lift.

 

If you’re considering just doing a quality coilover instead, i would just ask yourself what will the 4.5 inch lift get you that a 2.5 inch coilover lift won’t.

The only advantage i see to the 4.5 inch lift is the ability to run a wider/more offset wheel. Other than that though it’s just 2 inches of body height.

What wheel/tire do you want. I would start with that

 

Going with 35x12.5 KO2s mounted on Method MR312s 18x9s. I just want a bit more height, may end up doing the Icon setup

 

I’ll be selling mine soon. Only 6000k miles on them. 58650’s with 700lb springs and icon rear shocks.

 

Tall skinny tire. What off set will the rims be? Do you know how wide that tire is mounted? Thanks.

 

I assume you haven’t seen the Readylift 6 inch lift.

 

Which uses spacers and blocks as well

 

Exactly and I wouldn't want a 6" anyways. 35s look small on a 6", no skipping leg day over here.

 

A 35x12.5 is not even remotely close to a tall skinny tire lol. Wheels will be offset +18

 

Why you selling?

 

I’m really curious what you think a 4.5 inch bds uses. Had that kit and it uses a shock extension to get 4.5 up front. Or you go straight to coilovers. Rear you can do whatever you want to achieve lift.

 

Read the entire thread....

 

You have eyeballs and I am assuming the capability to read so maybe go take 5 minutes and re-read the thread. Sorry if I hurt the feelings of those who don't do proper lifts.

 

I already know what they have, I have almost exclusively only ever owned BDS except for my custom crawler. Shackles are easy to swap in especially when their lift blocks are only 3", a shackle and either add a leaf or full leaf replacement from Icon is an easy fix.

 

Lol. You said the Readylift used spacers for the front and rear which that is a “choice” if you can read. And you never said you where wanting the coilover BDS kit. I have a better setup than a drop bracket lift sir.

 

Yea if you mean "choice" by having to buy their kit, throw their shit spacers into the garbage and go buy new coil-overs and shocks, then sure I guess you have a choice. Why buy the kit at that point, strut spacers are bad enough as is.....6" strut spacers has to be a joke. Who buys a lift and doesn't put new coil-overs up front???? Spend 40k plus on a truck and slap some shit suspension in it lol. Never said anything bad on your Icon product, they make some great stuff if you don't want over 3". Their coilovers and RXT leafs are awesome but I would opt for Total Chaos or Camburg UCAs. Let's not forget BDS has the best warranty hands down on the market and a team of lawyers on standby to go to court for you if a dealership tries to deny your warranty based off the suspension being modified. Why? Because they actually test all their kits to ensure everything works as intended from the factory.
