BDS 5 Inch Lift Kit w/ 4-Link & FOX 2.5 Coil-Over | Ford F250/F350 Super Duty (2020-2022) 4WD Diesel | Block Kit | FOX 2.0 Performance Series Rear

Rear lift provided by a fabricated steel block kit paired with FOX 2.0 Performance Series rear shocks. The 2.0-inch impact extruded aluminum body shocks feature an internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, a 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, and application-specific valving. Fully serviceable with a clear anodized finish.

Overview

This 5-inch lift kit with 4-Link and FOX 2.5 Performance Elite coil-over conversion from BDS Suspension is engineered for diesel-powered Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty trucks (2020–2022, 4WD, SRW). The kit is designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, providing clearance for up to 37-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes diesel-specific FOX 2.5 coil-over shocks, 4-link control arms with conversion brackets, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, and brake line brackets. The rear utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block or Eibach leaf springs (depending on selected option), longer U-bolts, brake line brackets, and a matched set of FOX Performance rear shocks.

4-Link Conversion

The BDS 4-link system converts the factory stamped steel radius arms to optimize suspension geometry for improved handling characteristics while adding strength and stability. This bolt-on upgrade uses high-strength 1/4-inch steel brackets that allow mounting of heavy-duty upper and lower control arms to correct axle positioning and limit caster change throughout wheel travel.

FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Coil-Over

FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks are tuned and ready to install out of the box. These 2.5-inch diameter bolt-on shocks include a remote reservoir for additional fluid capacity to keep shocks running cool. The DSC adjuster offers 10 separate low-speed and 12 high-speed compression levels via two adjuster knobs, with a black anodized aluminum reservoir to increase cooling efficiency.

Steering Correction

A forged drop pitman arm minimizes steering angle once the truck is lifted. A heavy-duty track bar drop bracket keeps the steering components in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.

Important Notes

• Ford recommends replacement of the pitman arm nut after each time it has been removed.
• If installed on a truck with a top-mounted overload spring with an overload spacer block taller than 1-1/8", UBT4027 (Qty: 4) is required.
• Use a small pitman arm puller to remove the drag link joint and steering stabilizer taper.
• If your truck is equipped with a 2-piece rear driveshaft, a Carrier Bearing Drop Kit may be required: BDS123402.
• Due to the taller factory ride height, Tremor models will not net the full advertised lift height. The final ride height will be the same as standard models.
• Larger tires on the stock wheel are not recommended due to brake line clearance requirements. Use recommended specs listed in the wheel and tire fitment section.
• Minor trimming may be necessary for clearance of 37x12.50 tires on certain wheel setups.
• Some trucks with a rear driveline vibration may have a recall from Ford regarding the rear axle (Safety Recall 21S31). BDS recommends having this recall procedure performed prior to installing the lift.
• Fits SRW models only.
