Coldwater, MI—April 20, 2012—BDS Suspension is expanding their line of suspension options for the late model Toyota Tacoma trucks. Now in stock and available for sale BDS offers a complete 4” suspension lift for the 2005-2012 Toyota Tacoma.

These new IFS suspension systems follows BDS proven design standards using full one-piece front/rear crossmembers coupled with precision machined ductile cast iron steering knuckles. The steering knuckles are designed to work within the factory traction control constraints and provide stock-like handling characteristics. The knuckles are also considerably more robust in both the mass and strength over the OE components. The crossmembers are built from ¼” steel plate and have integrated differential mounts that work with the new provided differential mounts to properly reposition the front differential for optimal CV and front driveshaft angles.

The whole package is protected by a new belly pan skid plate that runs from the front to rear crossmember and allows integration with the factory front skid/splash guard. The factory front struts are retained with the kit utilizing top strut spacer to gain the proper lift height.

In the rear, BDS provides a 3″‘ block, longer u-bolts, 5500-series shocks and all the necessary brake line/wire relocation brackets included. This system allows for up to 33×12.50 tires to be installed on 18×9 or 20×9 with 4.5” backspacing.

In addition to the  4” system, BDS is proud to also offer a complete 6” system. For more info on these new kit offerings and find the distributor nearest you, check out BDS Suspension or call (517) 279-2135.
