2009-2013 F-150 6" Lift Kit with NX2 Nitro Shocks (BDS573H)

Take your 2009-2013 Ford F-150 4WD to new heights with this BDS 6" suspension lift kit, with clearance for up to 37" tires. The high-clearance design improves ground clearance, strength, and offroad protection while correcting suspension and steering geometry for solid on-road handling. Up front it uses 1/4" thick high-arched steel crossmembers, top mounted strut spacers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, and a skid plate, with CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles to correct geometry and maintain ESC compatibility. The rear uses high strength cast steel lift blocks and longer u-bolts with NX2 Nitro or optional FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks.
