- Hey guys.
We're out here with Custom Offsets.
We've got another episode of Hot and Loose Suspension.
This is gonna be a four inch BDS kit.
This one is for 2009-14 Ford F-150s.
And we'll just give you a rundown on this kit,
and what all it comes with.
(upbeat hip hop music)
I guess we'll just start right here.
As you can see,
we've got BDS'
Ford's knuckles here.
Ford's lift knuckles here.
Which will help you with your,
as we talked about before your ball joint angles.
And then this kit in particular,
the customer decided to upgrade to the Fox shocks
in the rear.
Up front,
for the four inch,
I think BDS only offers the strut spacer for the front,
rather than a replacement strut,
like they do with the six inch kit,
so this is gonna use factory struts up front,
Fox in the back,
and then here we have our lower control arm drop brackets,
and you can see that these are the BDS high-clearance,
control arm drop brackets here.
And what they do is they design these to conform
to your factory frame reel as tight as possible,
so it gives you the most ground clearance possible,
so you're not smacking things on the trails
or anything like that when you're going off-road
or what have you.
And then we've got the differential,
the front differential skid plate,
protect your differential from any kind of debris.
You alright, Mario?
And then right here we have this aluminum,
this is a spacer for the front drive shaft on the Fords.
The Fords use these drive shaft spacers.
And then,
these here are gonna be
your main differential drop brackets,
and then what they also give you is these here,
which are gonna be differential support brackets
to keep the differentials supported,
so you don't have any kind of vibration issues
or anything moving around under there,
when you relocate the front differential.
The back we're just gonna,
it's going to use some standard blocks
in the back,
these are gonna be BDS' fully fabricated,
boxed and welded.
Rear blocks with the bump stop,
wings on them,
and then one other thing about this kit
which is a little different from others,
is BDS actually gives you this,
and you can see it's just a raw piece of quarter inch plate,
and you can see what this is for,
is this is gonna be a reinforcement bracket,
that I'm pretty sure is probably one of the--
I've never seen any other manufacturers offer this.
'Sup Rick?
I'm filming.
So BDS gives you this reinforcement bracket,
and what it does is it's gonna go under the truck,
on your driver's side,
lower control arm,
and it's going to be welded in place.
You can see the angle here,
it'll be like a,
probably like a 70 degree angle under there,
where this will be welded in to brace the
control arm brackets and stuff.
So this is going to be a brace that's welded in,
and that's something that most kits
actually don't include at all,
but BDS,
I guess they like to take the extra step,
and make sure everything is as strong as possible.
So yes this kit is going to require welding.
It's a pretty simple piece to weld,
so you'll see that in the install video hopefully,
when we do lifts and levels on this truck,
but I think that's about it.
Then we got some brake line,
this is gonna be parking brake relocation brackets,
brake line relocation brackets,
and everything you need to install this kit.
You got your black coated u-bolts,
and that's pretty much it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Gotta go back to work now.
See ya.
Bye.
