Overview

This 3-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2003–2013 Dodge RAM 2500 and 2003–2012 RAM 3500 4WD diesel trucks. It features a FOX 2.5 Coilover conversion and includes all components needed to improve stance, performance, and capability, with clearance for tires up to 35 inches. The kit uses proprietary FOX 2.5 coilover shocks for bolt-on performance with increased travel and the ability to handle rough terrain while maintaining on-road comfort. BDS-engineered fixed-length, greaseable, heavy-duty round tubular upper and lower control arms correctly position the axle and adjust for proper caster and pinion angles.
