Black on Black – Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with BDS Suspension & FOX 2.5 HTO Shocks

There's something about an all-black truck that never goes out of style. Clean, aggressive and built with purpose, this black Chevrolet Silverado 2500 from CTO Industries proves that the right combination of suspension, wheels and tyres can completely transform an already impressive American truck.

Nicknamed "Black on Black," this Silverado 2500 combines premium performance upgrades with a sleek factory-inspired appearance. Featuring a 3-inch BDS Suspension lift, FOX 2.5 HTO shocks, FUEL Off-Road wheels, and 35-inch Yokohama Geolandar tyres, it's ready for serious towing, weekend adventures and everyday driving.

Whether you're planning Australia's next big road trip or simply want your Silverado to stand out from the crowd, this build delivers the perfect balance of capability and style.

A Proven Suspension Package

The foundation of this build starts with a 3-inch BDS Suspension lift kit.

BDS Suspension is recognised worldwide for producing high-quality lift systems that improve both vehicle capability and ride quality. Designed specifically for heavy-duty American trucks, the system provides increased ground clearance while maintaining excellent handling characteristics.

To complement the lift kit, CTO Industries fitted FOX 2.5 HTO performance shocks.

The FOX HTO series has been developed for Australian touring conditions, delivering exceptional suspension control on highways, corrugated roads and rough off-road terrain. The larger shock body provides increased oil capacity, helping reduce heat build-up during long-distance driving and improving overall ride comfort.

Together, the BDS and FOX combination gives this Silverado outstanding road manners while providing the confidence to venture well beyond the bitumen.

FUEL Wheels & 35-Inch Yokohama Geolandar Tyres

No lifted Silverado is complete without a premium wheel and tyre package.

This build rides on FUEL Off-Road wheels, perfectly matched with 35-inch Yokohama Geolandar all-terrain tyres.

The combination not only enhances the truck's aggressive stance but also delivers real-world performance benefits, including:

  • Improved off-road traction
  • Increased ground clearance
  • Better approach and departure angles
  • Excellent highway comfort
  • Durable all-terrain performance

Whether tackling gravel roads, towing a caravan or navigating muddy tracks, the Yokohama Geolandar tyres provide dependable grip across a wide range of conditions.

Built for Touring, Towing & Everyday Driving

One of the strengths of the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is its versatility.

While it's more than capable of towing heavy caravans, boats and trailers, it's equally comfortable as a daily driver. This carefully selected upgrade package enhances everything owners already love about the Silverado without compromising comfort or reliability.

The increased ride height improves visibility, the FOX suspension smooths out rough roads, and the larger tyre package gives the truck a commanding presence that's impossible to ignore.

It's a build that's equally at home on the worksite, the highway or exploring Australia's remote destinations.
