About this product
Take your 2014 Ford F150 4WD truck to new heights with a 6-inch suspension lift kit by BDS. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 37" tires.
This kit leverages BDS's proven high-clearance design for enhanced ground clearance, strength, and superior off-road protection, while addressing suspension and steering geometry. It is complemented by the provided sway bar relocation brackets, brake line brackets, alignment cam bolts, and supplied hardware, resulting in excellent on-road handling characteristics. Up front the kit utilizes high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, top mounted strut spacers, multipiece differential relocation brackets and skidplate designed for offroad protection. Steering geometry is corrected at the new taller ride height with a pair of massive CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles. These combined with the provided sway bar relocation brackets, brake line brackets, alignment cam bolts, supplied hardware and more provide a comprehensive front suspension lift ready for use and abuse.
In the rear, BDS utilizes high-strength cast steel lift blocks and longer u-bolts to lift and level the stance along with NX2 Nitro or optional FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks.
High Clearance Crossmembers,
BDS maximizes ground clearance with their heavy duty 1/4-inch thick laser cut perfect fit crossmembers. Paired with a front skid plate system that bolts together to create a rigid subframe while adding extra protection.
Heavy Duty Steering Knuckles
BDS corrects steering geometry at the new, taller ride height using a pair of high-strength, CNC-machined ductile cast iron steering knuckle designs that work in conjunction with replacement tie rod ends to maintain steering angles for proper function and ESC compatibility.
