This configuration pairs a rear lift block kit with FOX 2.5 Performance Elite rear shocks. The 5-inch cast iron block replaces the factory block, delivering approximately 3 inches of rear lift to level the vehicle while maintaining correct pinion angles.
The FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks feature a 2.5-inch impact extruded aluminum body, a massive 7/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, an external reservoir design, and a standard DSC (Dual Speed Compression) adjuster for precise terrain, load, and speed tuning. Fully serviceable with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
Overview
This BDS 4-inch lift kit is designed for 2WD 2007–2013 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The kit improves stance, ground clearance, and off-road capability while correcting suspension and steering geometry for on-road handling. It includes clearance for up to 35-inch tires and comes with all necessary hardware for a comprehensive front and rear suspension lift.
Up front, the kit uses full-length replacement strut shocks, high-arched 1/4-inch-thick steel crossmembers, heavy-duty skid plates, and CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles to correct steering geometry at the new ride height. Sway bar drops, bump stop extensions, and brake line brackets are also included. In the rear, choose between a cast iron lift block kit or complete Glide-Ride leaf springs, paired with your choice of FOX rear shocks.
