Overview

This 3-inch coil spring lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for the 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 4-Door. The kit improves stance and provides clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes 3-inch Pro-Ride coil springs capable of full coil bind, 2-inch bump stop extensions to control compression travel while increasing wheel travel, brake line brackets, alignment cams to fine-tune front caster angles, and sway bar links. In the rear, the kit utilizes Pro-Ride coil springs, sway bar drop brackets, and a rear frame-mounted track bar relocation bracket to correct axle shift. Pro-Ride coil springs are full-length, gas-specific, progressive-rate springs manufactured from high-tensile steel with properly sized wire diameters, engineered for maximum reliability without premature coil bind.
