BDS 4.5 Inch Lift Kit for 1987-1985 Jeep Wrangler YJ

Key Features

• Front and rear Glide-Ride leaf springs with new u-bolts to provide full lift height and increased capacity
• Front and rear track bar relocation brackets to re-center the axle
• Stainless steel braided brake lines for added clearance and reliability
• Sway bar disconnects to maximize articulation off-road
• Power steering pitman arm to correct steering geometry
• Bump stop extensions to protect against over-compression
• Transfer case drop kit to ease driveline angles
• 1" extended shackles to let the springs flex freely
• Specially tuned NX2 Nitro Series gas shocks with vehicle-specific valving for improved control and damper performance

Fitment

Confirmed fitment for the following applications:

• 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler (All Submodels, All Drive Types, All Fuel Types)

Recommended Tires & Wheels

Trimming may be required.

• 33 x 12.5 tires with 15 x 8 wheels and 3.5 in. backspacing

Rear Lift Options

Select the appropriate rear springs based on the weight of your vehicle and whether you run a hard top or soft top:

• Light Duty Leaf Springs – Use these if you have a soft top and plan to run either the stock spare or no spare at all.
• Heavy Duty Leaf Springs – Use these if you plan to run additional weight beyond the stock spare and a soft top. A must for hard top applications, and they still ride great with the hard top off.

Important Notes

• May require driveshaft lengthening if equipped with a 13" (u-joint to u-joint) driveshaft.
• May require a larger diameter driveshaft if equipped with a 41-1/2" front driveshaft.
• For heavy Jeeps (e.g., hard top with full-size spare), run the front springs on both the front and rear. This selection can be made in the customize section before checking out.
• A slip yoke eliminator and dual cardan style rear driveshaft may be required to eliminate driveline vibration.
• Pitman arms will NOT fit YJ models equipped with manual steering.
