Overview

This 4-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for the 2009–2013 Dodge RAM 2500 Power Wagon 4WD and provides improved stance, performance, and off-road capability with clearance for up to 36-inch tires. BDS-engineered lower control arms are longer than stock to rotate the axle for proper alignment, and a relocation mounting bracket flattens the upper control arm angle to maintain factory handling characteristics. Up front, the kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, all four control arms plus a relocation bracket, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, sway bar links, and precision-tuned shocks. Rear lift is achieved via the selected rear lift option paired with a matching set of shocks.
