- All right, what's going on, guys?
I'm Banker from Custom Offsets.
We're back with another "Lifts and Levels".
Today, we have four inch BDS
for the 2019 and 20 Silverado 1500s,
so this is a brand new kit for the brand new truck,
and we're gonna run through some of the components here
and show you what we got,
because as much as I hate to say it,
the new Chevy is very Ford like, so you're gonna see
a lot of those components similar in this kit.
So, we'll start over here on this end,
we've got the new rear blocks.
Again, it's four inch, so we've only got
about two and a half inch rear block in the back there.
We got the new U bolts, all the standard stuff.
We've got strut spacers instead of replacement struts,
which is typical of the four inch BDS kit,
we got the Fox 2.0 rear upgrade, again, very typical.
What you what see on any of the other Chevy kits
are these little guys right here.
And these are actually going to be CV axle spacers.
So, it's very, very little bit,
so it's not going to increase track width
like Chevys always had notoriously,
but these are gonna go between the knuckle
and the CV axle itself.
Because again, it's kind of a Ford design,
which again, you will have, you'll see the new cam bolts
because the adjustment is now
in the lower control arm instead of the upper.
Knuckle design, still very Chevy,
so we've got the lift knuckles here.
New tie rod ends, typical with a Chevy,
and we move over here, you'll see some more stuff.
It looks like a Ford kit.
We've got sway bar drop here,
which ties into the lower control arm drop bracket,
typical of a Ford, and we've got diff drop brackets
which are very Ford like, very Toyota like
because they have gone to that style from differential.
Back here, we've got three piece skid plate,
which is very typical of BDS, covers everything up real nice
and then we've got front and rear crossmembers,
and the rear crossmember does have the diff drop,
or the front crossmember, I'm sorry,
does have the rear diff drop bracket built in.
These are all the components of the new kit.
Brent's gonna get this thing put on
and then I will be back to show you
what it looks like under the truck.
All right guys, so we got the four inch BDS
thrown in this '19 Silverado 1500,
so we're gonna go front to back,
show you what everything looks like here,
and kinda give you an idea of what the angles look like.
Again, remember this is in the air, full droop,
so everything's not gonna be great,
but they are pretty sweet.
So, we're gonna start at the very front,
you got the BDS skid plate up here,
very reminiscent of the other GM trucks.
You'll see the design's a little bit different,
again, this truck is completely new,
it's not even a variation of the old trucks
as I stated in the breakdown of the kit
on the bench there, it's very Ford like.
So, as we get back into it,
we've got front and rear crossmembers,
and you'll see the alignment is
again, on the bottom this time,
not aligned by the upper control arms on this truck.
The differential back here is now a new style differential,
so it's got a completely different style differential drop.
Again, very similar to the Ford and RAM differential drops,
but this does not increase track width now,
so, you win there, no more spacers in the rear.
We got the skid plates underneath,
they've bumped those up a little bit,
beefed them up a little bit.
This is gonna be a strut spacer replacement.
The strut is still the same style as the old GM trucks,
but this is just a spacers kit.
New lift knuckle here, new tie rod ends,
very similar to the older trucks.
Not a whole lot's changed there.
Everything's new and updated,
but if you look at the CV angles
at this thing at full droop,
this CV could operate no issues at full droop.
Upper ball join angle is absolutely amazing.
You know, true BDS fashion,
amazing angles all the way round.
So if we go to the back.
Super simple set up in the back as always,
it's a leaf sprung truck,
so you got some tapered blocks in the rear,
some new Fox shocks in this case
and some brackets on the hardware
for the lines on the rear differential.
You will notice that on the new GM trucks,
they reconfigured where everything
comes into the rear differential,
makes everything a lot easier,
a lot less bracketry is needed
to move a lot of lines back there, makes everything clean.
So, that is the four inch BDS
for the new 2019/20 GM 1500 trucks.
These are not the AT4 Trail Boss models
but just the regular 1500 models.
So, like, subscribe and go buy one of these things.
