Overview

This 3-inch radius arm lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2014–2018 Ram 2500 diesel-powered trucks equipped with the factory rear air ride suspension. The kit improves stance, performance, and capability, and provides clearance for tires up to 35 inches. Up front, the kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy duty replacement radius arms, a high-strength 1-3/8-inch solid steel adjustable track bar, sway bar links, brake line brackets, and precision-tuned shocks. In the rear, the kit uses heavy duty air bag spacer brackets, a track bar relocation bracket, bump stop extensions, and a matching set of shocks. New air ride leveling sensor brackets are also included to reposition the ride height sensors, allowing the air ride system to function as it does at factory ride height and maintaining full air bag range of motion.
