BDS vs. ProComp Lift Kits – Which is Better?

In a previous blog we talked about Pro Comp suspension components and lift kits that are available from 4 Wheel Parts. Pro Comp lift kits are really good, but if you’re looking for a premium kit for your Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Ram, Toyota truck or Jeep, then another line of off-road suspension products you should consider are from BDS Suspension. BDS has over 45 years in the industry and offers premium suspension products at affordable prices. And because of this knowledge and experience, and because they are confident in the quality of their products, BDS offers what they call their “No Fine Print Warranty”. What that means is if you are the original purchaser of any BDS product and it breaks, they will give you a new one. No fine print. Period. 

All the R&D work is done in house by BDS and test fit by the industry’s leading engineers. This assures you of the best fit and smoothest installation possible. And you can be sure that every kit will contain everything necessary to do the job right. All of the parts in BDS’ lift kits fit and perform as close to original equipment as possible. Along with that OE style fit comes full compliance to the federal VMVSS no. 126 standards.

To reduce the risk of rollover crashes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) established the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 126 requiring all new passenger vehicles under 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight include an electronic stability control (ESC) system as standard equipment. FMVSS No. 126 tests new vehicle ESC systems through a series of evasive lane-change maneuvers at highway speeds to ensure the driver can maintain control in critical driving situations. Compliance with the FMVSS No.126 means that all of BDS’ suspension products and lift kits will not adversely affect your vehicle’s factory installed electronic stability control system.

Another product that sets BDS Suspension apart from other manufacturers are their cold wound coil springs. Many other springs on the market are hot wound but a cold wound spring will provide more accurate rates and ride heights. BDS’s springs are designed to go to full bind/compression and return to their stated ride heights and they have a lifetime warranty against sag. Many of BDS’ kits for leaf spring rear applications have full replacement rear spring options that also have a lifetime warranty against sag and breakage.

The good news is that BDS offers all their products through an exclusive dealer network that includes 4 Wheel Parts. All 4 Wheel Parts locations carry the full line of both Pro Comp and BDS suspension products. You can be confident in your purchase knowing that you have the full factory backing of BDS and the knowledgeable assistance of the staff at all 4 Wheel Parts locations.
