Configured with NX2 Nitro Series rear shocks featuring a nitrogen-charged twin-tube design, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, dual-welded ends for increased strength, a 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston, self-lubricating seals, and a silver powder coat finish.

Overview

This 4-inch suspension lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for the Chevy Trail Boss and GMC AT4 1500 (2020–2026) 4WD Diesel trucks, improving stance, performance, and capability with clearance for up to 35-inch tires. The kit utilizes a high-clearance design for improved ground clearance, strength, and off-road protection while correcting suspension and steering geometry for proper on-road handling.

Up front, the kit includes top-mounted strut spacers, upper control arms, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, a multipiece differential relocation bracket, and heavy duty skid plates. CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles and replacement tie rod ends correct steering geometry at the new ride height while maintaining ESC system compatibility. Additional front components include sway bar drops, bump stop extensions, brake line brackets, CV spacers, and all necessary hardware.

In the rear, a heavy duty lift block installs in place of the stock block, retaining ride quality and load capacity. Also included are new U-bolts, brake line brackets, and precision-tuned rear shocks.

• Requires frame bracket modification.
• Factory 17-inch and 18-inch wheels cannot be reinstalled due to tie rod end interference; stock 20-inch wheels can be reinstalled.
• 17-inch wheels with 4.5-inch backspacing should be test fit prior to mounting the tire to ensure proper clearance to the steering knuckle and tie rod.
• All aftermarket wheels should be test fit prior to mounting the tire to ensure proper clearance to the brake caliper. Some wheel profiles will not clear the brake caliper. These can be test fitted before the vehicle is lifted in a stock condition.
• 2.7L Turbo models use the Diesel kit for proper skid plate fitment.
• If equipped with a mono-leaf rear spring, please use part #UBT4064.
