Yep, last time I checked. That's for four wheel spacers.

Glad to see this post here on my BDS Research. I have read nothing but great things about BDS so I think I am buying the BDS 3" lift today too! I am gonna get the steering stabalizer too. I already have the SpiderTrax adapters that Mark suggested, I paid 200 bux at 4wheel parts (I had to go from 5x5 to 5x4.5 for some TJ Wheels I got). Too bad I did not do this before last weekend, huh, MKJeep?


I just ordered it!! Scheduled to go on next Monday!

I am running the ZONE kit which is BDS pretty much BDS.
have had it for 20k km's and have no problems.
I am adding 1" spacers, front lower control arms, rear upper arms, front trac-bar, and rear tom woods driveshaft to get a little more height.

You did great this weekend! My mother-in-law especially liked the sliding burnouts you were doing on our way to Wal-Mart. She was like, " He's F'in CRAZY!" Can't wait to get together with you guys again. Oh, get a freakin CB man!!!!! You have more technical electrical mods than anyone else, and no CB!!!!!!! Damn Air Force guys! I guess you could talk to WireDawg and have him set u up with a TA-1. But you'd have to follow pretty carefully to keep from trashing the wire. Good Luck with your new kit and post pics when your done!

i have been considering the 4.5" BDS...i'm torn between it and the Teraflex 4" system. you're running 37" tires on yours right?

i like the looks of it!

i just haven't heard much of how the BDS system will do on the trail. (e.g. if it can handle the jolting and flex.)

would be awesome if someone had some flex pics with the BDS system...
