BDS 6 Inch 4-Link Lift Kit | 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 hard stop for the suspension, keeping shocks and other components safe. Well-suited for road use and light off-roading where bump stops are engaged at low speeds. The 8-bolt kit is required for Ram 3500 trucks equipped with the optional Aisin heavy-duty 6-speed transmission, which utilizes a different transfer case mounting bolt pattern. This kit also includes an internal shaft seal extension and new shaft seal.
