Coldwater, MI—July 26, 2012—Available for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ, BDS now offers a heavy duty, high clearance belly pan to offer additional underbody protection for drivetrain components.

This system fits on stock and BDS lifted applications as well as most any lifted suspension. The kit includes brackets to fit both automatic and manual transmissions, however minor modifications will be required to fit Rubicon and ’03-06 automatic models. Available in a textured black finish, this belly pan is must have if your Jeep spends time on the rocks.

• 4-Link design replaces radius arms
• Newly redesigned leaf springs
• Complete suspension lift kit

Coldwater, MI—June 11, 2012—Now in stock and ready for sale: Complete 8″ BDS 4-Link suspension systems for the 2011-2012 Ford Super Duty 4wd.  This new kit shares all the great features and benefits of our popular 2005-2010 8″ suspension systems.

The heart of the lift is the 4-link design that replaces the factory radius arms. The 4-link arms provide better strength as well as limits caster change to less than 1 degree through the 10” of wheel travel. This results in better handling and ride over radius arm setups at the same height. The rear lift uses our newly redesigned 003829 leaf springs that provide a great ride while still having the payload capacity you need from your F250/350 truck.

As with the rest of the 8″ 4-link kits available, brake lines, steering/track bar correction, full-length diesel/gas-specific coil springs, sway bar and bump stop relocation are included. The standard system includes BDS-5500 series shocks or you can upgrade to the available Fox 2.0 shocks. Dual shock mounts and dual steering stabilizer kits make great accessories to help handle the 38×15.50 tires that a this lift kit clears.
