Overview
This 2.5-inch radius arm lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for diesel-powered Ford F450 Super Duty trucks (2023–2026), improving stance, performance, and capability with clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty replacement tubular radius arms, a high-strength 1-3/8-inch solid steel adjustable track bar for steering correction, sway bar relocation hardware, brake line brackets, and precision-tuned nitrogen-charged shocks. In the rear, the kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer U-bolts, and a matching rear shock in your choice of configuration.
The heavy-duty tubular radius arms mount into the factory location, offer caster adjustment across a wide range of lift heights, and use an OE-style rubber bushing at the frame mount for smooth, quiet, service-free operation. The diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs are full-length and designed to provide the correct lift height with a smooth, predictable ride across various terrains. The BDS high-strength adjustable track bar is built from 1-3/8-inch solid steel stock, comes pre-assembled with bushings, and bolts directly into the factory mounting points to recenter the front axle.

- Recalibration of your vehicle's Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) cameras, radars, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and other sensors may be necessary by your local dealership or ADAS service center. This will ensure proper functionality of vehicle features such as lane keeping, lane departure, parking assistance, blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control systems, and other functions as they did prior to installation. Please connect with your local dealership or ADAS service center. Similar to a wheel alignment, all charges and expenses that may occur from dealership calibrations and adjustments are the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner.
