Overview

This BDS Suspension 4-inch suspension lift kit is designed for 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD trucks to improve stance, performance, and capability, providing clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit utilizes top-mounted strut spacers, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, and heavy duty skid plates for off-road protection. Steering geometry is corrected at the new ride height with CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles and replacement tie rod ends, maintaining ESC system compatibility. Additional front components include sway bar drops, bump stop extensions, stainless steel braided brake lines, CV spacers, and all required hardware. The rear of the kit uses heavy duty cast steel lift blocks, brake line brackets, and longer U-bolts, paired with a choice of specially tuned rear shocks.
