May 28th, 2012 2 comments

We leaked this photo a couple weeks back, and tonight’s the night to see how it came to be. Check out Offroad Overhaul tonight on the Outdoor Channel to see Markus Voegler’s 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Powerwagon get an off-road makeover before hitting the trails. BDS jumped on board with a 4” long arm suspension lift kit (comparable to a 6” long arm for standard 2500) while others provided wheels, tires, lights, and more. See the buildup and all the action tonight on Offroad Overhaul on the Outdoor Channel! To see Markus’s Testimonial, check out the link.

Testimonial: 1978 Ford Bronco

May 26th, 2012 1 comment

We talked to Todd Langley a few weeks back about his 1978 Ford Bronco project and what option would be best to meet his needs. After talking with tech support they decided on a 4” BDS lift kit with replacement rear leaf springs. After picking up the parts from BDS Distributor Eastern Truck & Accessories, Todd took to installign the kit on his 30+ year old blue oval. He sent us a message saying about the look, the fitment and the quality of the parts. He wrote to us that it drives even better than stock, even  handled speeds in excess of 70mph.

Thanks for the message Todd, we’re happy to hear your Bronco is doing well, and thanks for choosing us to be a part of your project.

BDS had a busy weekend of events, among them was BDS distributor Eastern Truck & Accessories 10th Annual Open House in Norfolk, VA. BDS made the trip down for the weekend celebration the ETA’s shop. Once again they had beautiful weather for the event that brings in over a hundred rigs to take part in the truck show, charity auction, BBQ lunch, truck run. This year Dennis Anderson, creator of the world famous Grave Digger Monster Truck came out for the event to meet the fans and sign autographs. ETA arranged for Dennis’s truck to be built up with the help BDS Suspension, Toyo Tires, Moto Metal Wheels, Westin Automotive, and others. Right before lunch they had the big reveal which left Dennis grinning from ear to ear. Following the record breaking auction of $15,000+ raised for Cystic Fibrosis everyone took over the road as 100+ rigs went for a cruise to a local pizza place to hand out car show awards.

Lima 4-Wheel Jamboree Recap

May 23rd, 2012 No comments

This past weekend the city of Lima played host to several thousand 4WD enthusiasts. With blistering hot temperatures and clear skies all weekend, the Lima 4-Wheel Jamboree had an impressive turnout of trucks, Jeepers, and 4WDs. BDS made the short trip down from Michigan to take part in the event. We love coming down for the Jamborees and getting to see our customers and talk with people interested in lifting their trucks. BDS brought the Ram 2500 with an 8” lift and 40s  out for the event along with the new 6” Tacoma on 35s and displays. There was plenty to do all weekend long with activities for 4WD fans of all ages. Fox Racing set up next to BDS to show off their lineup of products and talk about the Fox/BDS relationship. We always see some familiar faces at these events and this year was no different with BDS distributors like John from Mild To Wild, Jerry and Dawn from Custom Truck and our newest customers the guys over at DTS. Great turnout at this year’s Jamboree and we’re looking forward to seeing you at an upcoming event. To see all the photos from last weekend’s Jamboree, head on over to BDS Suspension’s Facebook Page.

Off-Road Overhaulin’ Dodge

May 16th, 2012 3 comments

BDS Suspension recently got involved on a truck buildup on the Outdoor Channel’s Off-Road Overhaul show. The recipient of the off-road makeover was Markus Voegler and his 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Powerwagon.  When Mike Duval, host of the show told us about the project we jumped on board with a complete long arm kit to outfit the truck. If you haven’t checked out the show look for it on the Monday nights at 5:30pm, 9:30pm, 12:00am, and 2:30am (EST).

We recently received a message from Markus that read  “I am not sure where to start, I am one of the lucky people chosen to have my vehicle overhauled for Offroad Overhaul on Outdoor Channel.  The vehicle is a 2008 Dodge Powerwagen.  The vehicle was outfitted with a 6 inch BDS Suspension long arm.  I wanted to take a moment and Thank You for setting me up with such a killer suspension system!!  The truck rides nice and just tackles everything I throw at it!!! There are no words to express my thanks and graditude.   Jon Aronson, Mike Duval, and crew are some of the greatest people I have been around.  I just wanted to let you know that your sponsor support for the show is truely appreciated and speaks volumes for your company!..  I will promote BDS Suspension at every opportunity and my rig is sporting the BDS Decals to boot.  Thanks Again for hooking me up with such a great and high quality suspension system.  You guys rock!!” -Markus Voegler

Thanks Markus, we love the truck and congrats on the overhaul.
