BDS 4 Inch 4-Link Lift Kit w/ FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Coil-Over Conversion | Ram 3500 4WD Diesel (2013-2018) | Rubber Bump Stop | 8-Bolt

Configured with Rubber Bump Stops and an 8-Bolt Indexing Ring Kit. Rubber factory-style bump stops provide a firm suspension limit, protecting shocks and components during road use and light off-road driving where bump stops are engaged at low speeds. The 8-bolt indexing ring kit is designed for Ram 3500 trucks equipped with the optional Aisin heavy-duty 6-speed transmission, which uses a different transfer case mounting bolt pattern. This kit also includes an internal shaft seal extension and new shaft seal.
