The BDS Suspension 2.5-inch lift kit is engineered to enhance the stance, performance, and overall capability of your 1976-1981 Jeep CJ5 and CJ6. This comprehensive kit provides the necessary components for a 2.5-inch lift, allowing for the fitment of up to 31-inch tires. The kit features BDS's exclusive Glide-Ride leaf springs, designed with a multi-leaf progressive spring rate for a smooth ride under various loads. These springs utilize a triple-stage design with tapered leaves, anti-friction pads, bolt-style alignment clamps, and a full military wrap for durability. Installation is straightforward with a 100% bolt-on design, requiring no modifications. Customers can choose between two shock options: the NX2 Nitro Series shocks, which are nitrogen-charged, twin-tube with 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving and dual-welded ends for strength, or the FOX 2.0 IFP Performance Series shocks, featuring a monotube design with an extruded aluminum body and application-specific valving. Recommended tire and wheel fitment for this kit is 31 x 10.5 with 15 x 7 wheels and 3.5 inches of backspace, though some trimming may be required. This lift kit aims to provide improved flexibility throughout the suspension cycle and better control with its vehicle-specific valving.
