Overview

This 4-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2013–2018 RAM 3500 diesel-powered trucks. It improves stance, performance, and capability while providing clearance for up to 35-inch tires. The front of the kit utilizes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, radius arm drop brackets, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, and brake line brackets. The rear uses a high-strength fabricated lift block and longer U-bolts. Shocks are available in NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance Series configurations.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs: A pair of full-length, diesel-specific, progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains.

Steering Correction: A forged drop pitman arm minimizes steering angle, paired with a heavy-duty track bar drop bracket to keep steering geometry in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.
