Overview

This BDS Suspension 6-inch lift kit is designed for 2015–2019 Chevy Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon/Yukon XL 1500 4WD vehicles equipped with Magneride electronic damping. The kit provides clearance for up to 35-inch tires while correcting suspension and steering geometry for on-road handling and off-road capability.

Up front, the kit uses a top-mounted strut spacer, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, and heavy-duty skid plates. CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles correct steering geometry at the new ride height. Additional front components include sway bar drops, bump stop extensions, brake line brackets, and CV spacers. In the rear, BDS Pro-Ride coil springs, anti-sway bar links, a track bar relocation system, and adjustable upper control arms are included. Rear sensor relocation brackets and shock extensions retain the factory Magneride electronic dampers.
