Overview

This 6-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 1973–1976 Chevy and GMC 3/4 ton trucks and SUVs (K20/K25) 4WD, improving stance, performance, and capability with clearance for up to 36-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes Glide-Ride leaf springs, a 4-inch steering arm for steering correction, brake line brackets, and precision-tuned shocks. In the rear, the kit utilizes either a high-strength lift block with add-a-leaf or replacement Glide-Ride leaf springs, longer U-bolts, and a matched set of shocks.

BDS Glide-Ride leaf springs use an exclusive triple-stage, multi-leaf progressive spring rate design that delivers a smooth ride under any load while providing flexibility throughout the suspension cycle.
