BDS 8.5” Long-Arm Suspension System for 96-98 Jeep Cherokee XJ
This kit comes with front and rear Pro-Ride coils springs and matching
BDS 5500 series shock absorbers. These coils are made from 5160 spring
steel and pre-set to handle anything that you can throw at them. The
kit includes long adjustable upper control arms with flex ends. The
long lower control arms are adjustable and are made from 1-3/4” OD
0.250” wall DOM tubing. An extreme drop pitman arm is included to match
the new adjustable track bar. BDS’ ultimate sway bar disconnects are
included to allow for some serious off road flex. New Kevlar lined
stainless steel brake lines are included. No welding to the uni-body is
required nor is it recommended. A new heavy duty belly pan is included
to gain ground clearance as well as offer serious protection. The rear
is lifted with new BDS Glide-Ride 5” leaf springs with greasable 1”
extended shackles and a 2” block allows the springs to really flex.
This is a serious off road system that is made to perform off road and still be able to drive it home!
