Overview

This 3-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed to improve the stance, performance, and off-road capability of the 1997–2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ. The kit includes everything needed to complete the installation and provides clearance for up to 33-inch tires. Up front, it features Glide-Ride coil springs, JKS sway bar link disconnects to improve off-road articulation, bump stop extensions, and a transfer case drop to maintain proper driveline angles. In the rear, matching Glide-Ride coil springs add lift height without creating a harsh ride, along with a rear track bar bracket to level out the Jeep. The kit is available with your choice of specially tuned NX2 Nitro Series or FOX 2.0 IFP Performance Series shocks. ProRide coil springs are full-length, Jeep-specific units manufactured from high tensile steel with properly sized wire diameter for maximum reliability without premature coil bind.
