BDS Suspension 2" Leveling Kit for 2014-18 Chevrolet/GMC 4WD (inc. 14-15 2WD) 1/2 ton Sierra/Silverado1500 pickup trucks.
A leveling kit done right! This kit comes with new upper strut mounts that increase the front ride height while maintaining the factory ride quality. A small pre-load spacer is combined with a top spacer to properly achieve height without the problems associated with the common top spacers on the market today. Due to a variation in the factory strut mount in earlier models, a minor change was made to the preload/bolt ring plate in order to get proper fitment on the 2014-16 models.
Unlike many other leveling kits, this engineered system will not max out the upper ball joint. Our leveling kit system is designed to ensure that all factory components work within their intended ranges.

If you are in the market for a system that will work properly right out of the box and does not require continued fabrication and constant maintenance, look no further.A key part of the Crawler kit is the Link Arm geometry and ground clearance.

Super strong on the trail while being smooth and quiet on the highway.LINK ARM CROSSMEMBER & MOUNTSA key part of the mounting of the long arm links to the frame is the geometry and ground clearance. The location of the frame side of the Link Arms is critical in providing superior handling throughout the travel range. Fabtech has found the sweet spot for the Link Arms that provide a superior driving Long Arm Gladiator lift kit compared to all others on the market.Front Link Arm mounts are a full crossmember that spans frame rail to frame rail with no welding required for installation. This crossmember adds strength to the frame that is critical when running big tires with lots or articulation on a Gladiator. Adjustable rear links utilize the factory frame and axle brackets for an easy installation.FRONT & REAR DUAL RATE LONG TRAVEL COIL SPRINGSCorner specific Dual Rate coils springs provide a level stance side to side and offer factory load carrying capacity with a smooth ride.As a true dual rate coil, the first stage of the coil allows the spring to respond to small bumps for a very complaint ride at lower speeds. As the spring travels further, the rate increases to absorb larger impacts and support cargo in the Jeep Gladiator.These springs are the best on the market for all around driving while providing increased suspension travel for offroad use.DRAGLINK FLIP SYSTEMA heavy duty draglink is relocated on the steering knuckle to retain the factory steering geometry with the stock pitman arm. It provides bind free operation at full articulation and eliminates bump steer throughout the travel. It does not increase load on the steering box like a dropped pitman arm can.FRONT LOWER SHOCK MOUNTSThese heavy duty lower front shock mounts move the shock outboard to allow for more clearance at the frame for maximum articulation travel.FRONT TRACK BAR BRACKETTo work in conjunction with the Draglink Flip System, the front Track Bar is relocated to the proper operating plane with a 3/16" thick steel bracket that welds to axle housing.REAR TRACK BAR BRACKETA weld on 3/16" thick steel bracket is built to eliminate mount deflection when the track bar moves through its full cycle. It relocates the factory track bar to retain the important factory roll center.BUMP STOP EXTENSIONSFront and rear bump stop extensions keep the suspension from over cycling with the increased ride height preventing damage to steering and suspension parts. The extensions utilize the factory closed cell cushions for a progressive stop at the end of the suspension travel.FRONT & REAR SWAY BAR LINKSThe extended length front and rear sway bar links with urethane bushings reposition the bars to work within the factory operating planes.
