OVERVIEW

Improve the style and handling of your 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ with this 3-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 33" tires.

Up front the lift kit includes Glide-Ride coil springs, JKS sway bar link disconnects to improve offroad articulation, bump stop extensions, and a transfer case drop to maintain proper driveline angles. In the rear the kit utilizes matching Glide-Ride coil springs to add height without creating a harsh ride to level out the Jeep and rear track bar bracket. These kits are rounded out 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.

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.
