BDS 4 Inch Lift Kit | Chevy Colorado ZR2 (2017-2022) | Retains DSSV Shocks

Overview

The BDS 4-inch suspension lift kit for the Chevy Colorado ZR2 (2017–2022) is engineered to improve stance, performance, and off-road capability while retaining the factory DSSV coilover dampers. Specifically designed strut spacers correctly position the DSSV coilovers to set ride height and maintain clearance throughout the full range of suspension travel, accommodating up to 35-inch tires. The kit leverages BDS's high-clearance design to improve ground clearance, structural strength, and off-road protection, while simultaneously correcting suspension and steering geometry for proper on-road handling at the new ride height.

Up front, the kit features top-mounted strut spacers, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, and heavy-duty skid plates built for off-road protection. Steering geometry is corrected with CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles and replacement tie rod ends that maintain ESC system compatibility. Sway bar links, bump stop extensions, CV spacers, and all necessary hardware are also included for a comprehensive front suspension lift.
