I have done a lot of reading and have not found exactly what I am looking for.
Like stated in subject, I have a 4” BDS non coil lift on order. I have 285 60r20 toyo at3 waiting to put on.
My question is where did you guys get the parts for the autoride setup to extend the rear shocks and the ride height linkage to match the 3” spacer.
Trying to have everything ready for when I get the lift.
Thank you for any help.

i'd expect that stuff to be included in their kit.
or be an available accessory option to get from them.


if not, for the ride height linkage... you could go to hardware store & get 2 long machine screws that match yours & cut head off

Thank you,
BDS does not make a 4” kit with autoride brackets, only on their 6” kits.

all thread for the sensors, and a shock extender isnt hard to come by, but most are not for 4"...but they are easy to fabricate

I am thinking that with a 3” spacer in the rear. I should be able to get a 3” shock extender, possibly?.

Yea, the rods are not hard to make extensions i suppose, but fabricating a rear shock bracket would be a bit tricky for sure. And I am not so sure they are that easy to find. The only one I have found in the past looks like it wouldnt even work as far as I can tell.

take a good look at both, the sensor ends literally pop off, replace the shaft with a length of all thread...done.

shock extension, not much to those...even with no welder, a single piece of plate and some cardboard to make a template...fold in a vise...for me, i dont see them being that bad. i have made numerous sets of brackets similar to those.

Thank you! I will look into the all thread. What thread pitch and size should I look for?
