Installation Notes
Skill Level: Intermediate to advanced. FOX 2.0 snap ring strut replacement on the K2 platform requires proper spring compression, correct torque sequences, and safe lifting equipment. This is a full strut swap — not a bolt-on spacer. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
Required Tools:
- Spring compressor (shop or rental)
- Torque wrench
- Full socket and wrench set
- Floor jack and rated jack stands
Alignment: Full front-end alignment is mandatory after installation. Do not operate the vehicle on public roads before alignment is completed.
Control Arm Confirmation: Physically confirm or have a shop verify aluminum or stamped steel control arms before ordering. This is a hard stop — installing this kit on cast steel knuckle control arms is an incorrect application.
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.
The Obsidian Take
SKU 758FSR delivers a genuine upgrade over factory K2 struts. The FOX 2.0 snap ring struts are not a spacer lift — they replace the factory strut assembly entirely, adding 2 inches of front lift and a meaningful damping quality improvement over stock. For the K2 Silverado or Sierra 1500 owner who wants improved stance and better on-road damping without going to a full 4–6 inch coilover system, this is the correct kit.
This kit is for you if: You own a 2014–2018 Silverado or Sierra 1500 4WD with confirmed aluminum or stamped steel control arms and want a mild, clean 2-inch front lift with a factory-quality strut upgrade included.
This kit is not for you if: You have cast steel knuckle control arms, are running a 2013 or earlier GMT900, a 2019 or newer T1/T1XX, a 2WD, or a 2500HD/3500HD. It is also not for you if you want more than 2 inches of front lift or a full coilover build — contact OFAS and we will identify the correct BDS SKU for your build.
The control arm type is the only variable that determines whether this kit applies to your truck. Confirm it before ordering. The kit is non-returnable once installed.
Common Questions
What is the difference between aluminum, stamped steel, and cast steel knuckle control arms — and how do I confirm which I have?
The K2 Silverado/Sierra 1500 platform was built with multiple control arm configurations. Aluminum and stamped steel control arms are compatible with SKU 758FSR. Cast steel knuckle control arms require a different kit entirely. If you are unsure which your truck has, have a shop verify before ordering or call OFAS at (469) 407-7538.
Will this fit my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD?
Yes — provided your Sierra has aluminum or stamped steel control arms confirmed. If you have cast steel knuckles, this kit does not apply.
Does this kit include rear lift?
No. SKU 758FSR is a front lift kit only via FOX 2.0 snap ring strut replacement. Rear components are not included.
What size tires can I run after this lift?
At 2 inches of front lift on the K2 platform you gain modest additional clearance over stock. Confirm maximum tire diameter and wheel specifications with your wheel and tire supplier based on your specific cab and bed configuration before purchasing tires.
What warranty covers this kit?
BDS suspension components are covered by the BDS No-Fine-Print Warranty. FOX 2.0 struts carry a FOX 1-year limited warranty.
Does this require extended brake lines?
Verify at installation. Confirm with your installer for your specific configuration before the job begins.
