Overview
This 6-inch radius arm lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2019–2024 Ram 3500 diesel-powered 4WD trucks. The kit improves stance, performance, and capability while providing clearance for up to 37-inch tires. Up front, it includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty replacement radius arms, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, and brake line brackets. A transfer case indexing ring and new HD transmission crossmember are included to correct front driveline angles and allow use of the factory front driveshaft. In the rear, the kit uses a high-strength steel lift block, longer U-bolts, and a matched set of shocks.
