6-Inch Lift Kit Gas Struts

The BDS Suspension BDS98165 is a pair of gas struts engineered to enhance the performance and ride quality of your 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4WD and 2014-2018 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD, specifically when used with a BDS 6-inch lift kit. Each strut is explicitly tuned to the specific vehicle application. The rod-displaced valving system actively adjusts to changing road conditions, ensuring a smooth and consistent ride. Inside, an all-weather fluid, fortified with special additives, helps prevent oil breakdown even in extreme temperatures. Durability is enhanced by a chrome-plated piston, a bronze-reinforced rod guide bearing, and a specialized single lip seal, all contributing to longer service intervals and consistent performance. Key features include PTFE-banded pistons for consistent sealing, increased durability, and better control, along with a nitrogen gas charge that reduces aeration and maintains better tire contact. The application summary confirms fitment for a wide range of 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Suburban (specific models and years), Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, and GMC Yukon/Yukon XL (specific models and years), all for 4WD models. This product is also noted as a component of several larger BDS lift kits, including BDS717H, BDS718H, BDS731H, BDS736H, and BDS717FS.
