Overview

This performance spring leveling kit from BDS Suspension is designed to level the stance of Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty trucks while improving performance and capability. The kit provides clearance for up to 35-inch tires and includes dual rate Pro-Ride coil springs, a heavy duty track bar relocation bracket for steering correction, and alignment cams. A choice of NX2 Nitro Series twin-tube gas shocks or FOX 2.0 Performance Series monotube IFP shocks allows further tuning of ride comfort and control.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs: A pair of full-length Pro-Ride coil springs provide the correct lift height and a smooth, predictable ride across various terrains. These dual rate springs use a softer initial spring rate than factory for improved on-road comfort, along with a higher secondary spring rate for stability and performance in harsh conditions.

2024+ Ford Super Duty Only: This kit includes ball joint cams to achieve optimum performance both on and off-road. For vehicles equipped with a non-selectable passenger side hub-lock on the front axle along with these ball joint cams, it is required to replace the non-selectable with a selectable hub-lock. Part number (PC3Z-3B396-A) is needed to prevent a grinding noise from the front axle for these applications. If your vehicle is not factory equipped with them, you may also need vacuum lines (3C125-A and/or 3C124). You can reference Section 307-07A of the Workshop Manual or Bulletin SSM 52423 for more information. See installation instructions for additional information.

Vehicles with radius arm mounted ride height sensors will require BDS123303.

2023+ Models: 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 vehicle features such as lane keeping, lane departure, parking assistance, blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control systems, and other functions as they did prior to installation. 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.
