Important notes before you order
- The Jeep Comanche was produced with two different rear axles (Chrysler 8.25 or Dana 35). You will need to measure your rear u-bolts to ensure that you get the correct new u-bolts. Basically, just measure the diameter of the axle or the I.D. of your rear u-bolts.
- The transfer case drop kit will not be necessary for 2WD applications.
TRU specialist notes
From the Trucks R Us fitment and install team, beyond the manufacturer's information.
- Plan for a professional wheel alignment after installing any lift or leveling kit.
- Going to bigger tires as well? Speedometer recalibration may be needed, and some tire and wheel combinations need trimming. Check the recommended wheels and tires, or ask us before you order.

Overview
Improve the style and handling of your 1986-2001 Jeep Commanche MJ with this 3-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability of the Commanche MJ, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 31" tires.
Up front the lift kit includes Glide-Ride coil springs, extended sway bar links, and a transfer case drop to maintain proper driveline angles. In the rear the kit utilizes a long thin add-a-leaf to add height without creating a harsh ride and a 5/8" lift block to level out the Jeep. These kits are rounded out with your choice of specially tuned NX2 nitro series gas shocks or FOX 2.0 IFP performance series gas shocks to offer improved damper performance.
Pro-Ride Coil Springs
A pair of full-length, Jeep-specific, Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains. Manufactured from high tensile steel, our direct OE replacement coil springs are engineered with properly sized wire diameter. This results in maximum reliability without premature coil bind.
