Overview
The BDS 2-inch Leveling Kit for 2019–2026 GM 1500 trucks delivers a premium blend of improved stance, enhanced ride quality, and off-road capability. This system features heavy-duty BDS tubular upper control arms equipped with high-strength ball joints that are significantly stronger than OEM, reducing the risk of unwanted failures and ensuring long-term durability. The arms optimize ball joint angles and increase suspension travel for reliable performance in demanding conditions. FOX 2.5 Performance Series rear shocks complement the front coil-overs, delivering balanced handling, fade-resistant performance, and enhanced stability on and off the road. The result is a durable, high-performance leveling solution that maintains factory-like drivability while offering a stronger, more aggressive stance and noticeably improved all-terrain ride quality.
