BDS 4 Inch Lift Kit | 2009-2013 Dodge RAM 2500 Power Wagon 4WD | Block Kit | FOX 2.0 Performance Series

Rear lift achieved via a Block Kit — cast iron blocks tapered for correct pinion angle, with an offset steel pin and hole to restore axle position. Reduces axle wrap and creates a more controlled, stable feel while eliminating any need for a separate lift block. Paired with FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks featuring a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, 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, race-developed high-flow piston design, application-specific valving, and a long-lasting clear anodized finish.

Overview

This 4-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for the 2009–2013 Dodge RAM 2500 Power Wagon 4WD and provides improved stance, performance, and off-road capability with clearance for up to 36-inch tires. BDS-engineered lower control arms are longer than stock to rotate the axle for proper alignment, and a relocation mounting bracket flattens the upper control arm angle to maintain factory handling characteristics. Up front, the kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, all four control arms plus a relocation bracket, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, sway bar links, and precision-tuned shocks. Rear lift is achieved via the selected rear lift option paired with a matching set of shocks.
