BDS 6 Inch Lift Kit | Ford F150 (2021-2026) 4WD | 4 Inch Block Kit | NX2 Nitro Series Shocks

Configured with a 4 Inch Rear Block Kit for a tail-low to level stance, paired with NX2 Nitro Series rear shocks. NX2 Nitro shocks feature a nitrogen-charged twin-tube design, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, dual-welded ends for increased strength, a 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston, self-lubricating seals, and a silver powder coat finish.

Overview

BDS steps up the performance and capability of the 2021–2026 Ford F150 4WD with this 6-inch suspension lift kit. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, the kit includes everything necessary to lift your truck with clearance for up to 37-inch tires. The kit takes advantage of BDS's high-clearance design for improved ground clearance, strength, and off-road protection while correcting suspension and steering geometry for sound on-road handling.

Up front, the kit utilizes high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, top-mounted strut spacers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, and a skid plate designed for off-road protection. Steering geometry is corrected at the new taller ride height with a pair of CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles. Sway bar relocation brackets, brake line brackets, alignment cam bolts, and all required hardware are included. In the rear, high-strength fabricated lift blocks and longer U-bolts lift and level the stance, complemented by NX2 Nitro or optional FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks.

Important Notes

• 18-inch or larger diameter wheels are required. Stock 17-inch and 18-inch wheels cannot be re-installed. Stock 20-inch wheels can be used with up to a 305/60R20 tire.
• 18-inch wheels with 5–5.5-inch backspacing should be test fit prior to mounting the tire to ensure proper clearance to the steering knuckle/tie rod. 5.5-inch backspacing is highly recommended for tire-to-frame crash bar clearance.
• Models with a 2-piece rear driveshaft WILL require carrier bearing shim kit 122406 (not included with kit).
• Block kits replace the factory 1-1/4-inch block. The stock block will not be reinstalled.
• Crash bars may require modification based on wheel and tire choice. It is the end user's responsibility to ensure modifications are non-detrimental to vehicle safety.
• Does NOT fit diesel models.
• Will not work with Tremor models.
• Some trucks with a 2-piece drive shaft may have a recall from Ford regarding the rear driveshaft (Safety Recall 21S25). BDS recommends having this recall procedure performed prior to installing the lift.
• Will not work with models equipped with CCD (Continuous Controlled Damping).
• Recalibration of your vehicle's Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) cameras, radars, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and other sensors may be necessary by your local dealership or ADAS service center. This will ensure proper functionality of features such as lane keeping, lane departure, parking assistance, blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control, and other functions. Please connect with your local dealership or ADAS service center. Similar to a wheel alignment, all charges and expenses that may occur from dealership calibrations and adjustments are the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner.
