- Hello everyone, Brad here with custom offsets.
Got another episode of lifts and levels.
This is a six inch BDS kit.
This isn't any other six inch BDS kit.
This is the top of the line.
This is the bee's knees lift kit out there right now
for Chevy 1500's and GMC 1500's.
This is the coil over system that BDS offers,
for 2014 and up 1500 trucks.
So most of the components are pretty much exactly the same,
as the regular six inch kit,
the only difference is just gonna be
how the front of the truck is lifted,
so that rather than using your standard strut up front,
to lift truck that BDS uses, it's gonna be
these Fox coil overs, which we'll get to in a minute.
So you're still gonna have same knuckles,
same lower control and drop, drop cross members,
differential drops are the same,
skid plates are all the same,
CV axle spacers are the same as well.
These kits do increase the front track width
inch and a half per side,
but the heart of the system here,
which is what everyone wants to see,
is the Fox coil overs.
These are 2.5 series coil over,
meaning the diameter of the shock body,
or piston is two and a half inches,
with the remote reservoirs.
This customer went for the optional DSC upgrade,
you can see here these knobs here.
DSC stand for dual speed compression,
and what that is, is you can actually adjust
the dampening, rates of the shock.
So it's adjustable for a low speed and high speed,
that alone is about a $300 option,
on top of the standard coil over kit.
You can order them without the compression adjusters,
but that is a really nice option.
So you got theses bad boys up front,
and then in the rear it's just gonna be,
the regular Fox 2.0 smooth body series,
that you see a lot of people like to upgrade to.
As far as options,
like I said this customer kinda went all out,
and got all the options.
He went with the BDS recoil series traction bars.
These aren't just the standard fixed traction bars.
They're actually a floating bar,
meaning that they actually can,
this will actually move in and out,
to allow the suspension to travel as it should
during its range of motion,
there's actually a couple springs in there
which allow that.
It's actually a really nice system.
BDS is the only one that does something like this.
And then for the rear normally it would just get blocks,
and some new U-bolts,
but this kit does have the option
for complete replacement leaf spring pack,
and that's what this customer got.
These are really nice.
They really improve the ride of the truck.
Definitely recommend it if you can afford it.
I believe that option is about $400.
I think it's like $393.
So you got the new springs,
which come with polyurethane bushings,
and then the new U-bolts as well,
and then besides that,
like I said its pretty much the same
as the regular six inch kit,
you're really just paying for the coil overs,
which are very nice.

Alright everyone, we got the six inch BDS coil over kit
installed on the truck here as you can see.
As I mentioned earlier all the suspension components
that BDS includes are pretty much gonna be the same
for the coil over kit, the only difference
is obviously the heart and soul of the lift right here,
which is the 2.5 Fox series coil over.
This one is the optional DSC adjustable one,
as you can see right here are the knobs,
you can control the compression dampening,
so that's about like a $300 option
over the standard coil over series,
and then everything else is gonna be the same.
Same BDS lift knuckles, new outer tie rods,
sway bar drops as long as the new sway bar end links,
lower control arm drops,
front differential drops all the same,
CV axle spacers are the same,
and really that's everything up front.
And then in the back,
this one is a little different compared to most kits,
because the customer chose to go
with the optional replacement springs.
So this has got the new BDS leaf springs in the back,
so there's no blocks on here as you can see.
And then the Fox 2.0 smooth body shocks in the rear,
which match the front coil overs.
When you buy the coil over kit,
you automatically get rear Fox shocks,
so there's no upgrading for that.
You can see the bump stop extensions,
and then as well on top the diff there.
You'll have to go under there.
There's a brake line relocation rack,
which just moves the brake line up,
so that it's not pulling the factory brake lines apart.
Sometimes they have one over here.
And then yeah for the parking brake,
you really actually just have to relocate
the cables through the factory mounts,
and that's how that goes, so yeah that's really it.
The six inch BDS coil over kit for 14 and up GM 1500 trucks.
So long.
