BDS 4 Inch Lift Kit | 2 Inch Rear Coil Spacer | Dodge Ram 1500 (2009-2011) 4WD | FOX 2.0 Performance Series

This variant uses a 2 Inch Rear Coil Spacer for the rear lift and is paired with FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks. FOX 2.0 shocks feature a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, a massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, race-developed high-flow piston design, application-specific valving, and a long-lasting clear anodized finish.

Overview

BDS steps up the performance and capability of the 2009–2011 Dodge RAM 1500 4WD with a 4-inch suspension lift kit that provides clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit uses top-mounted strut spacers, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, and heavy-duty skid plates for off-road protection. Steering geometry is corrected at the new ride height with CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles and replacement tie rod ends, maintaining ESC system compatibility. Additional front components include sway bar drops, bump stop extensions, stainless steel braided brake lines, CV spacers, and all necessary hardware. In the rear, the kit features progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs or coil spacers (depending on variant), rear upper control arm relocation brackets to correct pinion angle, a track bar relocation bracket, bump stop extensions, and sway bar links. Rear shocks are available in NX2 Nitro Series or FOX 2.0 Performance Series configuration.

Important Notes

• These trucks can vary from 1" to 3" tail high from the factory. Be sure to measure your vehicle before ordering. Part numbers 022209, 022309, and 022509 can all be substituted to achieve the desired stance.
• The Rack and Pinion steering system is extremely sensitive to an out-of-round or out-of-balance tire/wheel combination. As you increase the tire diameter and/or decrease the wheel backspacing, the more sensitive the system becomes and can cause minor steering wheel shimmy.
• Not recommended for AWD models.
• Stock 17" and 18" wheels cannot be reinstalled. Stock 20" wheels can be reinstalled with factory tires.
• This kit is FMVSS No. 126 Compliant.
