Go big with your 1988-1991 Chevy and GMC 3/4 ton Suburban to raise the bar to new heights with this 8-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 38 inch Tires.
Up front the lift kit includes Glide-Ride leaf springs, 4 inch steering arm and 3 inch steering block for steering correction, brake line brackets, sway bar drop brackets and precision tuned NX2 nitrogen charged shocks. In the rear this kit utilizes a set of Glide-Ride leaf springs for the ultimate performance on and off road, new 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.
Features:
- Easy, 100 percent Bolt-on installation
- Glideride leaf springs to provide full lift height and increased capacity
- New steering arm maintains proper steering angles for improved handling
- Cast steel blocks and add-a-leaf provide level stance from front to rear
- Standard NX2 Nitro shocks with vehicle-specific valving for better control
- Upgrade to FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks for maximum performance on and off-road
Fitment Notes (from BDS):
- Both driveshafts may need to be lengthened.
- Aftermarket extended brake lines are required for installation.
- Exhaust modification may be required to clear the front driveshaft.
- Emergency brake cable extension kit may be required.
- #001608 come with OE style rubber bushings installed.
