Overview
This 7-inch radius arm lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for the Ford F350 Super Duty DRW diesel (2023–2026) 4WD. The kit improves stance, performance, and off-road capability while providing clearance for up to 38-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty replacement radius arms, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation hardware, brake line brackets, and custom-tuned 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. The rear of the kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer u-bolts, brake line brackets, and a matched set of rear shocks.

Important Notes
- Ford recommends replacement of the pitman arm nut each time it has been removed.
- Use a small pitman arm puller to remove the drag link joint and steering stabilizer taper.
- If your truck is equipped with a factory rear sway bar, add: BDS123808.
- 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 stock wheels are not recommended due to brake line clearance requirements. Use recommended specs listed in the wheel and tire fitment section.
- The indexing ring is only compatible with 10-speed transmission trucks. Please verify your truck's equipment before installing.
- The transfer case indexing ring will not fit 6.2L vehicles equipped with the 6R100 transmission.
- The indexing ring has not been designed to work on manual shift transfer case models. Modification of the shift cable mount will be required.
- Some trucks with 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.
- Fits DRW models only.
- Recalibration of your vehicle's Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) cameras, radars, LiDAR, and other sensors may be necessary by your local dealership or ADAS service center. This will ensure proper functionality of features such as lane keeping, lane departure, parking assistance, blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control, and other functions. All charges and expenses that may occur from dealership calibrations and adjustments are the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner.
