BDS 4 Inch Lift Kit | 1973-1976 Ford F100/F150 4WD | Leaf Springs Rear

This configuration replaces the factory rear springs with full replacement leaf springs, eliminating the need for a lift block entirely. The multi-leaf progressive design reduces axle wrap for a more controlled and stable feel, maintains factory payload weight ratings, and comes with OE-style bushings installed.
