Configured with full replacement rear Pro-Ride coil springs and NX2 Nitro Series shocks. The NX2 shocks feature a nitrogen-charged twin-tube design, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, dual-welded ends, a 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston, self-lubricating seals, and a silver powder coat finish.

Overview

This 4-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2014–2018 RAM 2500 diesel-powered 4WD trucks. The kit improves stance, performance, and capability while providing clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, radius arm drop brackets, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, and brake line brackets. In the rear, the kit utilizes progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs (or coil spacers, depending on configuration), a track bar relocation bracket, bump stop extensions, sway bar links, and matching shocks. Pro-Ride coil springs are full-length, diesel-specific, and manufactured from high tensile steel as direct OE replacements engineered with properly sized wire diameter for maximum reliability without premature coil bind. A forged drop pitman arm minimizes steering angle, and a heavy duty track bar drop bracket keeps steering geometry in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.
