Overview

BDS Suspension engineered this 6-inch lift kit with radius arm for 2014–2018 Ram 2500 diesel-powered trucks equipped with OE rear air ride suspension. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, the kit includes everything necessary to complete the installation with clearance for up to 37-inch tires. Up front, the kit features diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty tubular radius arms, a forged drop pitman arm, track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, brake line brackets, and nitrogen-charged shocks. A transfer case indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are included to allow use of the factory front driveshaft at this lift height. In the rear, the kit uses heavy-duty air bag spacers, a track bar relocation bracket, bump stop extensions, sway bar links, and a matched set of rear shocks. New air ride leveling sensor brackets are supplied to re-position the ride height sensors, maintaining full air bag range of motion and factory-like ride height control.
