BDS 3-Inch Lift Kit | FOX 2.5 Performance Elite | Silverado/Sierra 2500HD/3500HD 4WD 2020–2026 | With Overload | SKU: 761FPE

The BDS 761FPE is a 3-inch lift kit with FOX 2.5 Performance Elite coil-overs for the 2020–2026 Chevy Silverado 2500HD/3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD 4WD — specifically for trucks equipped with factory overload rear springs. FOX 2.5 PE coil-overs with external reservoirs handle front lift and damping. A 3-inch rear axle block delivers matched rear lift. The truck sits level and aggressive, clears larger tires, and maintains consistent geometry under towing and hauling loads.

Rear spring confirmation required before ordering. This kit is calibrated for trucks with factory overload rear springs. If your Silverado or Sierra HD does NOT have factory overload rear springs, order 760FPE — the overload and non-overload kits are not interchangeable. Running the wrong kit on the wrong rear spring configuration compromises ride quality and rear suspension geometry under load.

Three additional hard fitment splits before this kit applies to your truck.

First — year: 2020–2026 only. The 2019 and earlier Silverado/Sierra HD is a different platform and is not compatible.

Second — drivetrain: 4WD only. 2WD models use a different front suspension architecture and are not compatible.

Third — model: 2500HD and 3500HD only. This kit does not fit the 1500, Colorado, or Canyon.

Component Specifications

What Is and Is NOT Included

Critical Compatibility

Overload spring configuration is the most common misorder on this SKU. Confirm before ordering.

Not sure if your HD has factory overload springs? Text (469) 407-7538 before ordering.

With Overload vs. No Overload — Which Kit Do You Need?

How to confirm your rear spring configuration: Visually inspect the rear axle leaf spring pack. An overload pack has an additional leaf that sits above the main pack and contacts the axle only under heavy load. If you are unsure, text (469) 407-7538 with your VIN and we will confirm before your order ships.

Tire Clearance

At 3 inches of lift on the 2020–2026 Silverado/Sierra HD 4WD platform, typical fitment runs 35-inch tires depending on wheel offset and backspacing. Confirm maximum tire diameter and wheel specifications with your wheel and tire supplier before ordering.

Installation Notes

Professional installation is required. Coil-over installation on a heavy-duty truck platform requires a qualified suspension shop with proper spring compressor equipment. Do not attempt DIY installation.

Full front-end alignment is mandatory after installation. Do not drive on public roads before alignment is completed.

Rear axle block installation. 3-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 under towing loads.

External reservoir routing. Follow BDS and FOX installation instructions for reservoir placement. Avoid pinch points, heat sources, and moving components during routing. Improper reservoir placement can damage the reservoir line and void the FOX warranty.

Torque all fasteners to BDS specification. Torque specs are included in the BDS installation instructions. Do not estimate torque values on a heavy-duty truck platform.

FOX coil-over break-in period. Allow FOX 2.5 PE coil-overs to complete the manufacturer-recommended break-in period before aggressive off-road or heavy towing use.

The Obsidian Take

The BDS 761FPE is the correct kit for the 2020–2026 Silverado or Sierra HD 4WD owner with factory overload springs who wants 3 inches of level lift with FOX 2.5 PE damping. The overload-specific calibration is what makes this kit the correct choice over 760FPE for your truck — the rear suspension geometry, ride quality, and block sizing are all calibrated for the additional spring rate the overload pack introduces. Installing the non-overload kit on an overload-equipped truck does not simply ride stiffer — it throws off the rear geometry and suspension behavior under load, which is exactly the condition a work truck or tow rig encounters most.

If your HD does not have factory overload springs, order 760FPE. The FOX 2.5 PE coil-overs are identical between the two kits — the rear spring configuration is the only variable that determines which kit is correct for your truck.

If your primary use is daily driving with occasional light hauling and maximum damping performance is not the priority, text (469) 407-7538 to confirm whether a lower-cost shock option is available for your configuration before committing to the 2.5 PE.

Overload springs confirmed, 2020–2026 HD 4WD confirmed — the 761FPE is the complete, level, correctly-tuned 3-inch solution for the truck that carries weight and needs its rear suspension geometry intact when it does.

Common Questions

How do I know if my Silverado/Sierra HD has factory overload rear springs?
Visually inspect the rear leaf spring pack at the rear axle. An overload pack includes an additional leaf that sits above the main pack and contacts the axle only under heavy load — it is visible as an extra leaf that does not contact the axle at rest. If you are unsure, text (469) 407-7538 with your VIN and we will confirm before your order ships.

What is the difference between 761FPE and 760FPE?
Both kits fit the 2020–2026 Silverado/Sierra 2500HD/3500HD 4WD and deliver 3 inches of front and rear lift with FOX 2.5 PE coil-overs. The difference is rear spring calibration — 761FPE is for trucks with factory overload springs and 760FPE is for trucks without. They are not interchangeable. Order based on your confirmed rear spring configuration.

Does this kit fit my 2019 Silverado HD?
No. The 2019 and earlier Silverado/Sierra HD is a different platform and is not compatible. Text (469) 407-7538 to confirm the correct kit for a 2019 or earlier HD.

Does this lift the rear of the truck?
Yes. Front lift is via FOX 2.5 PE coil-overs. Rear lift is via 3-inch axle blocks — both included in this kit. The truck sits level front to rear at 3 inches.

Is this a DIY install?
No. Coil-over installation requires proper spring compressor equipment and a qualified suspension shop. Do not attempt DIY installation.

What warranty does this kit carry?
BDS suspension components carry the BDS No-Fine-Print Warranty. FOX 2.5 PE coil-overs carry a FOX 1-year limited warranty.
