2 Inch Leveling Kit | FOX 2.0 Snap Ring Struts & HD Upper Control Arms | 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra 1500 4WD | BDS Suspension

Overview

Upgrade your 2007–2013 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra 1500 4WD with this 2-inch leveling kit from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, the kit includes FOX 2.0 Performance Series snap ring struts and heavy-duty tubular upper control arms up front, along with a matched pair of FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks in the rear. The kit provides clearance for up to 33-inch tires and installs using factory top mounting hardware and coil springs.

The FOX 2.0 Snap Ring Strut features a mono-tube design with an internal floating piston (IFP) that separates shock oil from the high-pressure nitrogen-charged gas chamber, eliminating oil aeration for consistent, factory-tuned valving performance. A custom-molded spring seat accepts the stock spring and mounting hardware, while the precision impact-extruded 2-inch aluminum body keeps weight low and resists rust. Three predetermined preload settings allow 0, 1, or 2 inches of lift.

The heavy-duty upper control arms use 1.5-inch OD x .120-wall tubular construction with an indexed ball joint cup to correct ball joint positioning, allowing additional down travel and camber adjustment. Durometer-specific rubber bushings at the frame mounting ends provide maintenance-free operation, and a greaseable ball joint at the knuckle end ensures smooth, quiet operation and long-term durability. Arms are finished in durable black powder coat with a billet aluminum dust cap.
