- What's going on, guys?
Brad from Custom Offsets here.
We're going to do an episode of
Lifts and Levels.
This is I'm guessing a 6.5 BDS lift kit,
pretty spankin'.
It's a sick black color.
Here's we've got your front struts
or something like that.
This is like your skid plate
or something like that.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
And these are all the accessories
that come with.
- [Brad] What are these? The knuckles.
- These are the knuckles that come with.
These have got a nice matte black finish,
for all you guys that like matte black finishes.
That's more of a glossy, but okay.
This is your bolt pack it comes with,
and another bag of bolts that comes with as well.
Lots of parts.
Estimated set up time
about two hours.
- [Brad] Is that it?
- About two hours, so you better
- [Brad] Slow as (bleep) here.
Thanks, Eric.

- Hey guys, Brad here with Custom Offsets.
Got an episode of Lifts and Levels.
This one's going to be the same exact thing
that we've done like five times,
but Junior insists that it's different.
This is a six-and-a-half inch BDS.
Same kit for 2500 and 3500 trucks,
2011 and up.
This one's actually going on a 3500 one ton.
Same exact kit, the only difference is
the rear box kit, so when you go to check out
that kit, it'll ask,
"Does your truck have a top-mounted
overload spring?"
and what they're referring to is the rear
top mount overload on the back,
which is standard on one-ton trucks,
and all that does is when you select that
it gives you longer U-bolts to compensate
for the additional top mounted overload.
So that's pretty much the only difference
between this six and a half inch kit and
the regular six and a half for a 2500 truck
without top-mounted overload.
We got the same forged knuckles here.
The cross members are all the same,
the drop cross members, so lower control arms,
skid plates, skid plate brace,
splash guard, diff drops.
Everything's the same.
This is going to be the high clearance kit
as well for the torsion bars,
so a non-torsion bar drop kit
keeps the torsion bars up.
Actually makes the trucks ride really well
as well.
This truck's getting the Fox 2.0s as well,
and like I said the only thing different
is going to be the U-bolts for the back.
That's the only difference between the 3500 kit
and the 2500 kit.

Alright, guys.
We got the six-and-a-half inch BDS kit installed
on this one ton here.
And as you can see, here's all the components
on the truck.
You got your BDS splash guard,
skid plate for the diff, and then
a brace here as well for the cross members.
The diff comes down, obviously,
just like the other six and a half inch kits
out there, or any other kit out there.
Here's the diff drops here, as you can see.
Brings the differential down, so that when
the truck's on the ground the CV axles are
nice and safe.
And then up here we got the knuckles
installed here, the BDS forged knuckles,
Fox shocks on this one, and then
here you can see the non-torsion drop system
that BDS uses,
so what it does is
factory, the torsion bar actually
is mounted right here
in the control arm, and they actually raise
the mounting point up
on top of the control arm here,
to keep the torsion bars up,
so they're not hanging down,
so as you can see there's no torsion bar drop
itself, which is really nice,
a nice look.
Gives you more ground clearance,
and actually gives you a little bit of
ride quality as well, because they actually
tweaked the geometry here to save you some
spring effort with that.
And then also BDS gives you braided
stainless lines, as well.
And then we'll go to the back,
and this is where the kit is different
between the one tons and the 3/4 tons.
The front's exactly the same.
The only thing different
is BDS will ask you, and it's not only
for Chevys but you'll see BDS ask
if it has a top-mounted overload,
and what that is, it's not talking about
the bottom overload spring here,
which pretty much every truck has,
that's leaf sprung,
but more so asking for this top-mounted overload,
and you'll see they'll have the plates
on the frame here where the top-mounted
overload will hit, so you need to know
if your truck is equipped with that
so you can get the proper length U-bolts
for that, but just blocks in the back
on this one, and the Fox shocks in the back.
Brake line relocation bracket to move
the brake lines up, and
yeah, that's pretty much it on this
six and half inch BDS.
Like I said, this is for a one-ton
2011 and up, but pretty much exactly
the same for a 3/4 ton as well,
minus the back springs.
Peace.
