Glide-Ride Rear Leaf Spring Kit 6-Inch Lift

The BDS Suspension BDS003608 is a rear leaf spring kit engineered to enhance the suspension of lifted 1973-1996 Ford F-150 and F-100 trucks, as well as 1978-1996 Ford Broncos. This kit provides a 6-inch lift height over stock springs, aiming to improve handling for a variety of conditions, from trail riding and heavy towing to daily driving. BDS Glide-Ride Leaf Springs feature a multi-leaf progressive spring rate design that adapts to load conditions. The exclusive triple-stage design includes primary leafs for unloaded ride quality, secondary leafs for moderate loads, and an overload leaf for maximum hauling capacity. This design effectively reduces axle wrap and provides flexibility, contributing to a more controlled and stable feel. The springs are constructed with tapered and roll-pointed leafs for added flexibility and smoother transitions between leaves, while anti-friction pads ensure a smooth and quiet operation. Key specifications include a 52-inch length, 3-inch leaf width, and 11-1/4 inch arch length. The kit includes bushings and has an estimated installation time of 1-2 hours. It's important to note that these leaf springs are not intended for use beyond the truck's maximum payload capacity; supplemental rear air bags are recommended for heavy payload applications.
