BDS 4 Inch Lift Kit w/ 4-Link | Ram 3500 (2013-2018) 4WD Gas | 2 Inch Block Kit | NX2 Nitro Series Shocks

Rear lift achieved via a 2 Inch Block Kit, providing a tail-low to level stance. Equipped with NX2 Nitro Series shocks featuring nitrogen-charged twin-tube design, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston, dual-welded ends for increased strength, self-lubricating seals, and a silver powder coat finish.

Overview

BDS Suspension engineered this 4-inch lift kit with 4-Link conversion for the 2013–2018 RAM 3500 gas-powered truck. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set up the truck with clearance for up to 35-inch tires.

Up front, the kit includes gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, 4-Link control arms with conversion mounts, a forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, and brake line brackets. In the rear, this kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block and longer U-bolts. Shocks are included front and rear based on the selected shock option.

4-Link Conversion

The 4-Link conversion replaces the factory stamped steel radius arms to optimize suspension geometry for better 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 while limiting caster change throughout wheel travel.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

A pair of full-length, gas-specific, progressive 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 the steering angle after the lift. A heavy duty track bar drop bracket keeps steering geometry in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.

Important Notes

• The carrier-bearing drop kit is necessary for models equipped with a two-piece rear drive shaft.
• 6.4L gas models will require exhaust modification to clear the front driveshaft.
• 5.7L gas models may require exhaust modification as well.
• The vehicle can be driven without the front driveshaft to an exhaust shop for modifications to be made before reinstalling the driveshaft.
