Take control of heavy loads and towing duties with the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System for 2020-2026 GM 2500HD and 3500HD pickup trucks. Designed to fit trucks lifted 5 inches equipped with OEM overload springs. These systems are engineered, tested, and manufactured in Coldwater, Michigan by BDS Suspension to deliver dependable load support without compromising suspension performance.
Unlike traditional air spring systems, the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System features a rubber-isolated lower air spring mount with an innovative design that allows the axle to separate from the air spring at full suspension extension. This unique setup maintains maximum suspension travel while protecting air spring components during off-road use and uneven terrain.
Built for long-term durability, each kit includes heavy-duty air springs designed to safely operate at zero PSI when unloaded, providing a smooth factory-like ride when additional load support isn't needed. High-quality DOT-approved nickel-plated brass air fittings and DOT air brake line ensure reliable performance and leak-free operation, while the included tee fitting allows both air springs to be connected to a single fill point for simple pressure adjustment.
BDS simplifies product selection by offering a single part number for each application. Rather than multiple options, every BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System is equipped with the largest air spring and highest load-carrying capacity package that can be packaged within the vehicle. Operating within a pressure range of 0-125 PSI, these heavy-duty air springs generate enough lifting force to support loads that exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended payload capacity. However, it is important to note that while the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System can help level and stabilize heavily loaded vehicles, it does not increase the OEM Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), payload rating, axle ratings, or towing capacity of the vehicle. Always operate within the manufacturer's specified weight limits.
For the ultimate towing and hauling experience, BDS recommends pairing this system with the BDS129006 onboard compressor system and optional GM 2500HD/3500HD mounting bracket (BDS131802) for a clean, straightforward installation and convenient in-cab air pressure control. To further enhance vehicle stability and control under load, add a set of FOX shocks. Engineered to provide improved damping performance, FOX shocks help reduce body motion, improve handling, and deliver greater confidence when towing heavy trailers or hauling substantial payloads. Together, the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System and FOX shocks create a complete suspension package that sets a new standard of performance for towing and hauling.
