Long-lasting clear anodized finish. Paired with sway bar quick disconnects that provide up to 30% more axle articulation. Stainless tapered mounting posts, self-aligning bushings, and spherical bushings offer 360 degrees of rotation and 11 degrees of misalignment capability.

Overview

This 5.5-inch long arm lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-Door models, providing improved stance and clearance for up to 37-inch tires. The system enhances the factory 4-link by introducing a redesigned 4-link long arm configuration that improves articulation and offers better control throughout wheel travel.

Up front, the kit includes new pivot mounts constructed from 1/4-inch thick steel, heavy-duty lower flex arms, adjustable upper flex arms, Pro-Ride coil springs capable of full coil bind, and 3-inch bump stop extensions. Also included are braided stainless steel brake lines, sway bar links, a front track bar relocation bracket, and a pitman arm to improve steering and handling geometry. In the rear, the kit features new pivot mounts, heavy-duty lower flex arms, adjustable upper flex arms, Pro-Ride coil springs, sway bar drop brackets, and a rear frame-mounted track bar relocation bracket to correct axle shift.

Long Arm Conversion

Upgrading to long arms adds strength, improves handling, and increases off-road articulation. Massive 1/4-inch steel frame-mounted brackets are used to install the oversized upper and lower formed long arms. The arms are designed for maximum tire clearance, allowing the stock control arm tabs to remain in place on the vehicle. The upper arms are made of solid stock, while the heavy-wall tubular lower arms utilize oversized, greaseable polyurethane bushings for superior road vibration isolation.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

Full-length, gas-specific, progressive-rate Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and a smooth, predictable ride across various terrains. Manufactured from high-tensile steel, these direct OE replacement coil springs are engineered with properly sized wire diameters to ensure optimal performance and maximum reliability without premature coil bind.
