Overview
BDS Suspension's 6-inch suspension lift kit is designed to improve the stance and capability of the 1987–1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ, providing clearance for up to 35-inch tires. The kit includes front and rear Glide-Ride leaf springs with new U-bolts, front and rear track bar relocation brackets to center the axle, stainless steel braided brake lines, sway bar disconnects, a power steering pitman arm, bump stop extensions, and 1-inch extended shackles.
