BDS 7 Inch Lift Kit | 2016-2021 Toyota Tundra 2/4WD | FOX 2.0 Performance Series Rear Shocks

Configured with FOX 2.0 Performance Series rear shocks featuring a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, a massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, race-developed high-flow piston design, application-specific valving, and a long-lasting clear anodized finish.

Overview

BDS Suspension's 7-inch lift kit is engineered to increase the performance and capability of 2016–2021 Toyota Tundra trucks (2WD & 4WD). The system utilises a high-clearance design to improve ground clearance, strength, and off-road protection while correcting suspension and steering geometry for strong on-road handling characteristics.

Specially designed 1/4-inch thick laser-cut high-clearance crossmembers maximise underbody clearance and provide a solid mounting point for the OE lower control arms. Paired with a heavy-duty front skid plate system, they create a rigid subframe while protecting vital steering and driveline components. The heavy-duty steering knuckles use ductile iron castings and are CNC-machined for a precision fit. The steering tie rod mount is relocated to mimic original steering geometry for ESC system compatibility.

Features

• High-clearance design maximises ground clearance
• Robust steering knuckles maintain ESC system compliance
• Full-width belly skid plate for added protection
• Allows fitment of up to 37-inch tires with 7-inch systems
• Choice of FOX 2.0 Performance or NX2 Nitro rear shocks for improved capability
