BDS 6.5 Inch Lift Kit for 2020-2026 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD 4WD

Key Features

• No-Torsion Bar Drop Design: Maximizes ground clearance by mounting torsion bars to the top of the lower A-arm instead of dropping the crossmember.
• High-Clearance Crossmembers: Heavy-duty, 1/4-inch-thick, laser-cut steel crossmembers paired with a bolt-together front skid plate system for a rigid subframe and added underbody protection.
• CNC-Machined Ductile Iron Steering Knuckles: Correct steering geometry at ride height, work with factory tie rod ends, and maintain ESC system compliance.
• Multipoint Differential Relocation Brackets: Secure the front axle and improve CV angles for better long-term driveline health.
• Complete Front-End Hardware: Sway bar drops, stainless steel brake lines, and all installation hardware included.
• Rear Lift Components: Replacement lift blocks and U-bolts retain factory ride quality and load capacity; brake line and ABS relocation brackets allow factory lines to be reused.
• Shock Options: Choose NX2 Nitro Series (nitrogen-charged, twin-tube, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, 1-3/8" high-flow piston, silver powder coat) or FOX 2.0 Performance Series (2" extruded aluminum body, IFP monotube design, 6061-T6 CNC machined ends, 5/8" hard chrome shaft, application-specific valving, clear anodized finish).
• Tire Clearance: Designed to clear up to 38" tires (minor trimming may be required depending on wheel/tire combination).
• Factory Protection Plus Drivetrain Warranty: Included for added peace of mind on your overland build.

Fitment

• 2020–2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD / 3500 HD – 4WD (select trims)
• 2020–2024 GMC Sierra 2500 HD / 3500 HD – 4WD (select trims)
• 2025–2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD / 3500 HD – Front and Rear, 6.5" lift
• 2025–2026 GMC Sierra 2500 HD / 3500 HD – Front and Rear, 6.5" lift
• Compatible with both gas and diesel engine options across applicable model years
• Will NOT fit AT4X or ZR2 models – lower control arm profile is different
• For DRW (dually) models, select the "with overload" rear lift option

Important Installation Notes

• Before ordering, determine whether your truck was manufactured with or without top-mounted overload springs on the rear leaf packs and select the correct rear lift option.
• Requires frame bracket modification during installation.
• A torsion bar tool is required to load/unload the torsion bars. GM-specified tool: #CH48809.
• Models with two-piece rear driveshafts will require a carrier bearing drop kit (sold separately).
• Factory 17" and 18" wheels cannot be reinstalled due to tie rod end interference. Factory 20" wheels can be reinstalled with up to a 35x12.50 tire.
• Trucks regularly driven in 4WD on the highway may experience minor front driveline vibration. If this occurs, a dual Cardan style front driveshaft is recommended.
• Do not combine this kit with torsion bar lift keys to exceed the tested 6.5" lift height.
• Minor trimming of the inner fender shrouds and/or lower front bumper valance may be required depending on wheel and tire selection. Deeper backspacing and shorter/narrower tires reduce trimming needs.
• When pairing with BDS Recoil Traction Bars (BDS2300) on trucks without top-mounted overloads (BDS753 kit variants), the included 15.5" U-bolts are too short. Order UBT4200 (qty 4) for traction bar installation.

Shipping & Lead Times

Lift kits typically ship directly from BDS Suspension. Lead times vary based on stock availability and selected shock option (NX2 Nitro, FOX 2.0, or FOX 2.5). Please contact us prior to ordering if you need a confirmed ship date for a build timeline. Oversized freight shipping rates apply.

Professional installation is strongly recommended. This kit involves frame modification, torsion bar removal, and driveline considerations that require specialty tools and experience with heavy-duty GM platforms.
