BDS Suspension BDS477H Suspension Lift Kit

Maximize the capability of your 1996-2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ with this 4.5-inch lift kit with long arm conversion from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance this kit includes everything necessary to set your Jeep up right with clearance for up to 33 inch Tires.

By maximizing the length of both the upper and lower control arms, BDS has minimized caster change for optimal handling and minimized road forces. The control arm geometry is setup using new subframe braces that incorporates the link mounts and an optional belly pan.

Up front the lift kit includes a subframe pivot mounts, heavy duty lower flex arms and adjustable upper flex arms to optimize handling characteristics, 4.5 inch Pro-Ride coil springs capable of full coil bind and bump stop extensions to control the compression travel, but increase wheel travel.

Also included are braided stainless steel brake lines, ultimate sway bar disconnects, and front adjustable track bar with flex joint fits into the existing frame mount and a drop pitman arm to improve the steering and handling geometry.

The rear kit utilizes Pro-Ride coil springs for maximum travel, stainless braided brake line, and rear track bar relocation bracket. Finish off the kit with your choice of specially tuned NX2 nitro series gas shocks or FOX 2.0 Internal Floating Piston performance series gas shocks to offer improved damper performance.

Long Arm Conversion

Upgrading the standard control arms to a long arm adds strength, improves handling and takes offroad articulation to the next level. This upgrade consists of 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 utilize oversized greaseable polyurethane bushings for superior road vibration isolation.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

A pair of full-length, Jeep-specific, Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains. Manufactured from high tensile steel, our direct OE replacement coil springs are engineered with properly sized wire diameter.

This results in maximum reliability without premature coil bind.
