This variant includes FOX 2.0 Performance Series rear shocks. Featuring a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, and a large 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft with application-specific valving for a smooth, capable ride.
Overview
This 1.5-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2025–2026 Chevy Trail Boss and GMC AT4 1500 trucks equipped with 4WD. It improves stance, on-road comfort, and off-road capability while providing clearance for up to 35-inch tires on Chevy Trail Boss models or 33-inch tires on GMC AT4 models. Up front, the kit utilizes FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series remote reservoir coil-over shocks paired with heavy duty tubular upper control arms for increased strength and travel. In the rear, fabricated steel lift blocks, longer u-bolts, and a choice of rear FOX shocks complete the setup for a level to slightly tail-high stance.
