Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability. BDS Suspension has designed this 4-inch lift kit for your 1988-1991 Chevy K5 Blazer and GMC K5 Jimmy. This kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 35 inch Tires.
Up front the lift kit includes Glide-Ride leaf springs, 4 inch steering arm for steering correction, brake line brackets and precision tuned NX2 nitrogen charged shocks. In the rear this kit utilizes a high-strength lift block, longer u-bolts and a matching set of NX2 Nitro shocks.
Glide-Ride Leaf Springs
Built to outperform, BDS engineered the Glide-Ride leaf springs into a multi-leaf progressive spring rate design that provides a smooth ride with any load. This is accomplished with an exclusive triple-stage leaf spring design. Upgrading to BDS Glide-Ride leaf springs will provide flexibility throughout the suspension cycle.
