Designed to fit trucks with 4.5 inches of\nlift, these systems are engineered, tested, and manufactured in Coldwater,\nMichigan by BDS Suspension to deliver dependable load support without\ncompromising suspension performance. \nBDS131905 should be ordered if the truck is already equipped with the\ncurrent lift blocks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:\n\"Times New Roman\";mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";mso-font-kerning:0pt;\nmso-ligatures:none'\u003e   Installation of\nkit BDS131905 requires the use of BDS lift blocks to properly position the\nlower air spring mounts. For trucks equipped with 4.5-inches of lift and OEM\noverload springs, use block kit BDS021516. For 4.5-inch lift applications\nwithout OEM overload springs, use block kit BDS021517. \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;\nline-height:normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"\u003eUnlike traditional air\nspring systems, the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System features a\nrubber-isolated lower air spring mount with an innovative design that allows\nthe axle to separate from the air spring at full suspension extension. This unique\nsetup maintains maximum suspension travel while protecting air spring\ncomponents during off-road use and uneven terrain.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:\"Aptos\",sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:\nminor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin'\u003eBuilt for long-term durability,\neach kit includes heavy-duty air springs designed to safely operate at zero PSI\nwhen unloaded, providing a smooth factory-like ride when additional load\nsupport isn't needed. High-quality DOT-approved nickel-plated brass air\nfittings and DOT air brake line ensure reliable performance and leak-free\noperation, while the included tee fitting allows both air springs to be\nconnected to a single fill point for simple pressure adjustment.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:\"Aptos\",sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:\nminor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin'\u003eBDS simplifies product selection\nby offering a single part number for each application. Rather than multiple\noptions, every BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System is equipped with the\nlargest air spring and highest load-carrying capacity package that can be\npackaged within the vehicle. Operating within a pressure range of 0-125 PSI,\nthese heavy-duty air springs generate enough lifting force to support loads\nthat exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended payload capacity. However,\nit is important to note that while the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling\nSystem can help level and stabilize heavily loaded vehicles, it does not\nincrease the OEM Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), payload rating, axle\nratings, or towing capacity of the vehicle. Always operate within the\nmanufacturer's specified weight limits.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%\"\u003eFor the\nultimate towing and hauling experience, BDS recommends pairing this system with\nthe BDS129006 onboard compressor system and optional GM 2500HD\/3500HD mounting\nbracket (BDS131801) for a clean, straightforward installation and convenient\nin-cab air pressure control. To further enhance vehicle stability and control\nunder load, add a set of FOX shocks. Engineered to provide improved damping\nperformance, FOX shocks help reduce body motion, improve handling, and deliver\ngreater confidence when towing heavy trailers or hauling substantial payloads.\nTogether, the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System and FOX shocks create\na complete suspension package that sets a new standard of performance for\ntowing and hauling.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BDS Performance Towing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44570586218589,"sku":"BDS131905","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/6377\/7629\/files\/DSC_9196B_2100x1452_c24a4f61_b083_42f6_9b39_6da5627c2760_075b2ef5-fac1-4d6c-b1a8-61e54997fcde.jpg?v=1783350825","url":"https:\/\/dealer.sporttruckusainc.com\/products\/bds-performance-towing-air-suspension-load-leveling-upgrade-kit-6-5-inch-lift-gm-2500hd-3500-2011-2019","provider":"SportTruck USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
