      Description


      BDS1434H will maximize the capability of your 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ with this 6.5-inch lift kit with long arm conversion from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 33" 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 with a massive belly pan that incorporates the link mounts and is built to smash rocks. Believe it or not this system is completely bolt-on with no welding to the unibody required! Up front the lift kit includes a belly pan with new pivot mounts heavy duty lower flex arms and adjustable upper flex arms to optimize handling characteristics 4.5" 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 Glide-Ride leaf springs for maximum travel stainless braided brake line 2" lift blocks and extended shackles that let the spring flex. Finish off the kit with your choice of specially tuned NX2 nitro series gas shocks or FOX 2.0 IFP 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" 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.

      Tapered and roll-pointed leafs add flexibility and provide an even deflection rate
      Increased wheel travel and a softer ride from tapering allow smoother transition between leafs as compression takes place
      Higher articulation from bolt-style leaf alignment clamps prevents leafs from fanning out allowing leafs to twist and flex
