Features a multi-leaf progressive design for a smooth ride while maintaining factory payload weight ratings.

Overview

This 6-inch suspension lift kit with extended radius arms from BDS Suspension is designed for 1980–1996 Ford Bronco full-size 4WD trucks. The kit is engineered to improve stance, performance, and off-road capability, providing clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes Pro-Ride coil springs, axle pivot relocation brackets, extended radius arms, radius arm drop mounts, a forged pitman arm for steering correction, and precision-tuned NX2 nitrogen charged shocks. In the rear, the kit utilizes a high-strength lift block, longer U-bolts, and a matching set of NX2 Nitro shocks.
