Overview

This 2.5-inch radius arm lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed to improve the ride, stance, and capability of 2011–2016 Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty diesel-powered trucks. The kit includes everything necessary to complete the installation and provides clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit features diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, a high-strength 1-3/8-inch solid steel adjustable track bar for steering correction, brake line brackets, and precision-tuned nitrogen-charged shocks. The rear of the kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block (configuration dependent), longer U-bolts, and a matching set of shocks.

The included HD Adjustable Track Bar is built from 1-3/8-inch solid steel stock, comes pre-assembled with bushings, and bolts directly into the factory mounting points to maintain proper handling and steering geometry across a variety of lift heights.
