BDS 5 Inch 4-Link Lift Kit | FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Coilover Conversion | Ford F350 Super Duty DRW 4WD Diesel (2023-2026)

Overview

Take your dual rear wheel (DRW) Ford F350 Super Duty diesel to the next level with this 5-inch 4-Link lift kit from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your dually Ford truck up right with clearance for up to 37-inch tires.

Up front, the kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, a 4-Link control arm conversion, a forged drop pitman arm, track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, brake line brackets, and custom-tuned nitrogen charged shocks. At this lift height, the transfer case is indexed to allow use of the factory front driveshaft — an indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are supplied for this purpose.

At the rear, the kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer U-bolts, brake line brackets, and a matching set of FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks. These bolt-on 2.5-inch diameter shocks are tuned and ready to install out of the box, featuring a remote reservoir for additional fluid capacity and a DSC adjuster offering 10 separate low-speed and 12 high-speed compression levels for precise, versatile tuning.

The 4-Link conversion replaces the factory stamped steel radius arms with BDS high-strength 1/4-inch steel brackets, HD upper and lower control arms, and corrects axle positioning while limiting caster change throughout wheel travel — delivering improved handling, strength, and stability.

Important Notes

• Ford recommends the pitman arm nut is replaced prior to pitman arm installation.
• If installed on a truck with a top-mounted overload spring with an overload spacer block taller than 1-1/8", UBT4027 (Qty: 4) is required.
• Use a small pitman arm puller to remove the drag link joint and steering stabilizer taper.
• If your truck is equipped with a 2-piece rear driveshaft, a Carrier Bearing Drop Kit may be required: BDS123402.
• Due to the taller factory ride height, Tremor models will not net the full advertised lift height. The final ride height will be the same as standard models.
• Larger tires on the stock wheel are not recommended due to brake line clearance requirements. Use recommended specs listed in the wheel and tire fitment section.
• Minor trimming may be necessary for clearance of 37x12.50 tires on certain wheel setups.
• Installation requires a torque wrench capable of 405 ft-lbs.
• Some trucks with a rear driveline vibration may have a recall from Ford regarding the rear axle (Safety Recall 21S31). BDS recommends having this performed prior to installing the lift.
• Vehicles with radius arm mounted ride height sensors will require BDS123303.
• Vehicles with leaf spring ride height sensors must select the rear block option.
