Configured for Ram 3500 trucks with the factory rear overload leaf spring. Includes FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks featuring a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, race-developed high-flow piston design, and application-specific valving. Kits come standard with 6-bolt indexing ring kit.

Overview

This 4-inch lift kit with 4-Link conversion from BDS Suspension is designed for 2019–2023 Ram 3500 gas-powered 4WD trucks. The kit improves stance, performance, and capability while providing clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, 4-Link control arms and conversion brackets, a forged drop pitman arm, track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, and brake line brackets, along with precision-tuned nitrogen-charged shocks. A transfer case indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are supplied to allow use of the factory front driveshaft at this lift height. In the rear, the kit uses a high-strength steel lift block, longer U-bolts, and a matching set of shocks.

4-Link Conversion

The BDS 4-Link 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 HD upper and lower control arms to correct axle positioning and limit caster change throughout wheel travel.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

A pair of full-length, dual-rate Pro-Ride coil springs provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains.

Steering Correction

A forged drop pitman arm minimizes steering angle, paired with a heavy-duty track bar drop bracket to keep steering geometry in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.

Features

• Heavy-duty 4-Link improves strength, handling, and caster control
• Front high-strength dual-rate coil springs for improved ride on any terrain
• Front track bar relocation bracket to re-position axle
• Forged drop pitman arm to correct steering angles
• Front sway bar correction to maintain handling performance
• HD transmission crossmember and transfer case indexing ring to correct front driveline angles and allow use of factory driveshafts
• NX2 Nitro Series or FOX Performance Series nitrogen-charged shocks for improved ride and off-road performance
• Clearance for up to 35-inch tires

Important Notes

• Exhaust modification is required to clear the front driveshaft. The vehicle can be driven without a front driveshaft to an exhaust shop.
• Vehicles equipped with a Manual T-case require BDS122422 Manual transfer case shifter extension.
• Vehicles equipped with a 2-piece rear driveshaft (carrier bearing) require BDS122406 Carrier bearing drop.
• Select the rear box kit variant based on whether your Ram 3500 has the factory Rear Overload Leaf spring.
• Kits come standard with a 6-bolt indexing ring kit.
