Bds Leveling Kit

pauly151 · July 31, 2009

Can anyone tell me anything about BDS leveling kits on a 09 silverado CC. Limited to what I can buy sinceI can't do the install myself. Broke my back 2 months ago. BDS is the only brand that they sell in my area and do the install. If you got some feedback or experience with them let me know. Greatly appreciated.

I have never used their leveling kits. But BDS is a solid company, with an unmatched warranty, that makes excellent products.

Thanks for the reply Blackout07. I love your truck. Thats my debate is to do a level kit or just do a 4-6in suspension lift. DDoes it really kill the drive when you jack it up. I here they drive like tanks when you lift it.

My only gripe about the BDS is you have to disassemble the coilover (requiring a spring compressor) to install. All the other kits are much less hassle to acheive the same outcome.

My truck rides great! The BDS kit comes with new coilovers and IMO it rides better than stock. The big change is the larger wheels and tires. IMO that is the main contributor to a rougher ride and decrease in driveability.

I'm getting a 2" bds leveling kit put on my 2008 gmc sierra 1500 4x4 tomorrow morning. I'll post some before and after shots of it and will let u know what I think.

Don't forget to re-adjust (lower) your headlights after you level your truck!! I had to adjust mine a few times to get them right after levelling.

I have the 2in BDS leveling kit on mine. Have had it on there for about a month. No issues. Seems like a great product. Here are a couple of pics, I also have a 2.25 Ready Lift rear block.

I too have installed a BDS kit, now the back/front sit at the same level. Been looking around to add the rear blocks. Readylift seems to be a decent product, looks like it can be installed in the driveway.

did it help keep the rear from sagging when you add weight in the bed? just adding a couple of sand bags for winter drops the rear end terribly.

thinking about adding the blocks, how much taller in the rear did this bring up your truck, plus does it help keeping the rear up when loaded?

thanks
