This configuration includes FOX 2.0 Performance Series IFP rear shocks, featuring a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, an internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, a massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, and application-specific valving for maximized performance. Backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
Overview
This 3-inch coil-over suspension lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for the 2025–2026 RAM 1500 Rebel 4WD and features FOX 2.5 Performance Elite coil-over shocks up front. The kit is engineered to improve stance, performance, and capability, providing clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit employs FOX 2.5 coil-over shocks, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, and heavy-duty skid plates for off-road protection. Steering geometry is corrected at the new ride height with CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles and replacement tie rod ends, maintaining ESC system compatibility. Additional front components include sway bar drops, bump stop extensions, stainless steel braided brake lines, CV spacers, and all necessary hardware. In the rear, the kit uses progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs, upper control arm relocation brackets to correct pinion angle, a track bar relocation bracket to correct axle positioning, bump stop extensions, and sway bar links. Rear shocks vary by configuration — see variant options below.
