Overview
Improve the look and ride of your Chevy Silverado High Country or GMC Denali 1500 truck with this 6-inch suspension lift kit from BDS Suspension. Designed exclusively for trucks equipped with the factory Adaptive Ride Control (ARC) system, this kit improves stance, performance, and capability while maintaining clearance for up to 35-inch tires. The kit corrects suspension and steering geometry at the new ride height for confident on-road handling, while incorporating a high-clearance design for improved ground clearance and off-road protection.
Up front, the kit uses top-mounted strut spacers, 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 and maintain ESC system compatibility. Sway bar drops, bump stop extensions, brake line brackets, CV spacers, and all necessary hardware are included for a comprehensive front suspension lift. In the rear, a heavy-duty lift block replaces the stock block to lift and level the stance while retaining ride quality and load capacity. New U-bolts and shock relocation brackets maintain the ARC system without error.

Important Notes
- 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 stock condition
- 2.7L Turbo models must use the Diesel kit for proper skid plate fitment due to clearance issues with the intercooler pipe
- If equipped with a mono-leaf rear spring, please use part #UBT4064 (Qty 4 required)
