BDS 6 Inch Lift Kit | Adaptive Ride Control Only | Chevy Silverado High Country & GMC Denali 1500 (2019-2026) 4WD Diesel

Overview

This 6-inch suspension lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed specifically for Chevy Silverado High Country and GMC Denali 1500 4WD trucks (2019–2026) equipped with Adaptive Ride Control (ARC). The kit improves stance, ground clearance, and off-road capability while maintaining factory ride control and steering systems. It provides clearance for up to 35-inch tires and corrects suspension and steering geometry for proper on-road handling at the new ride height.

Up front, the kit uses top-mounted strut spacers, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, 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 installation. 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 retain the ARC system without error codes.

Important Notes

• Requires frame bracket modification
• Factory 17" and 18" wheels cannot be reinstalled due to tie rod end interference; stock 20" wheels can be reinstalled
• 17" wheels with 4.5" 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 models must use the Diesel kit for proper skid plate fitment
• Will NOT fit models with a single leaf spring (monoleaf) rear suspension
