BDS 4.5 Inch Lift Kit with Long Arm Conversion for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ

Long Arm Conversion

Upgrading to a long arm setup adds strength, improves handling, and takes off-road articulation to the next level. The conversion uses massive 1/4-inch steel frame-mounted brackets to install the oversized upper and lower formed long arms. The arms are formed for maximum tire clearance and allow the stock control arm tabs to remain on the vehicle. The upper arms are solid stock, while the heavy-wall tubular lower arms use oversized greaseable polyurethane bushings for superior road vibration isolation.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

A pair of full-length, Jeep-specific Pro-Ride coil springs provide the correct lift height and a smooth, predictable ride across varied terrain. Manufactured from high tensile steel, these direct OE replacement springs are engineered with a properly sized wire diameter for maximum reliability without premature coil bind.

Key Features

• Redesigned 4-link long arm system improves articulation and control throughout wheel travel
• Pro-Ride coil springs offer improved ride quality and more articulation
• Sway bar quick disconnects and extended rear link for improved off-road flex
• Front HD track bar correctly positions the front axle and controls lateral movement
• Choice of NX2 gas or FOX 2.0 IFP Performance Series shocks for improved damping
• Clearance for up to 33-inch tires

NX2 Nitro Series: Nitrogen-charged, twin-tube design with 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, dual-welded ends for increased strength, 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston, self-lubricating seals, and a silver powder coat finish.
