Built for classic Jeep enthusiasts who want to restore capability and stance to their CJ5, CJ6, or M38A1 — this 2.5-inch lift kit delivers the ground clearance and ride comfort your vintage rig deserves. Accommodates up to 31" tires and uses progressive Glide-Ride leaf springs front and rear to keep your classic planted whether you're empty or loaded.
Installed and serviced at Road Runner Wheels & Tires. Most kits go in the same day. Call (678) 400-6467 to schedule.
What you get up front
- Glide-Ride Leaf Spring — triple-stage progressive rate design with tapered leafs and anti-friction pads for a smooth ride under any load. Includes new u-bolts and bolt-style leaf clamps.
Out back
Matching Glide-Ride rear leaf spring with the same multi-leaf progressive geometry, anti-friction design, and full military wrap protection around the spring eyes to shield against rock damage.
Pick your shocks
- BDS NX2 Nitro Series — affordable, proven performer tuned for this kit. Daily-driver comfort at the best price point.
- FOX 2.0 Performance Series — IFP (Internal Floating Piston) monotube technology for damper control on rougher terrain. Premium feel and response if you plan serious off-road duty.
Important notes
- Kit is engineered for 1953–1968 CJ5 and CJ6, and M38A1 models.
- Maximum tire size is 31 x 10.5 inches.
- Both front and rear are leaf-spring lifts — verify your current spring condition before ordering, as severely worn springs may need replacement.
Why customers pick this at Road Runner
- BDS Glide-Ride springs are multi-leaf progressive designs — they ride smoother than OE and handle load variation without sagging.
- Professional installation by techs who specialize in classic Jeeps — no guesswork, everything torqued and tested before you drive away.
- Locally backed BDS warranty — if something fails, Road Runner stands behind it.
- Anti-friction pads and military wrap on the springs mean longer life off-road — protection built in from day one.
