Installation Notes

Skill Level: Advanced. A 4-inch coil-over lift with 5-inch rear axle block on the GMT900 platform requires a qualified suspension shop. This is not a bolt-on leveling kit. Do not attempt DIY installation.

Required Tools:

• Full hydraulic lift rated for truck weight
• Coil-over compression tool
• Torque wrench
• Full socket and wrench set

Alignment: Full front-end alignment is mandatory after installation. Do not operate the vehicle on public roads before alignment is completed.

Rear Axle Block Installation: 5-inch axle blocks must be installed per BDS specifications. Confirm U-bolt torque specs and axle centering after installation. Improperly centered axle blocks cause driveline vibration and premature U-joint wear.

Extended Brake Lines: Verify whether extended brake lines are required for your specific configuration at time of installation.

Torque Specs: Follow BDS-specified torque values included in the installation instructions. Do not substitute generic torque values on a lifted platform.

Tire Fitment: At 4 inches of lift on the GMT900 platform, typical fitment runs 33–35-inch tires depending on wheel offset and backspacing. Confirm maximum tire diameter and wheel specifications with your wheel and tire supplier before ordering.

The Obsidian Take

SKU 186PSS is the standard-tier 5-inch block rear system for the 2007–2013 GMT900 Silverado or Sierra 1500 2WD owner who wants 4 inches of front lift with FOX 2.0 Performance Series damping at the entry price point for this platform. FOX 2.0 coil-overs up front, 5-inch axle block rear, FOX 2.0 rear shocks — a complete front-to-rear system without the FOX 2.5 PE price premium.

The decision between 186PSS and 187PSS is the rear system — 5-inch axle block here versus replacement leaf springs in 187PSS. Both are 2WD-specific and both run FOX 2.0. A replacement leaf spring changes the entire rear spring assembly with a new spring rate and improved articulation under load. A 5-inch axle block raises the axle under the existing factory spring pack without changing the spring rate. If you tow regularly or want better rear suspension performance under load, 187PSS is the stronger long-term solution. If the 5-inch block rear fits your use case and budget, 186PSS delivers the same 4-inch front lift at a lower rear system cost.

The decision between 186PSS and the FOX 2.5 PE tier is shock performance. FOX 2.0 Performance Series handles daily driving, mild off-road, and light towing without issue. If you run this truck hard off-road or want external reservoir damping, step up to SKU 184PES for the 4WD equivalent or contact OFAS for the correct 2WD FOX 2.5 PE option.

This kit is for you if: You own a 2007–2013 Silverado or Sierra 1500 2WD, you want 4 inches of front lift with a 5-inch rear axle block, and FOX 2.0 Performance Series is the correct shock tier for your budget and use case.

This kit is not for you if: Your truck is 4WD — order SKU 184PSS or SKU 184PES. You want replacement leaf springs at the rear instead of a block — order SKU 187PSS. You want FOX 2.5 PE damping — contact OFAS to confirm the correct 2WD FOX 2.5 PE SKU for this rear system configuration. You have a 2014 or newer Silverado/Sierra — different platform entirely, contact OFAS for the correct K2 SKU. You have a 2006 or earlier, or an HD model. Confirm your year and drivetrain before ordering — the kit is non-returnable once installed.

Both kits fit the 2007–2013 Silverado/Sierra 1500 2WD and run FOX 2.0 Performance Series on the GMT900 platform.
