HD Radius Arms

These arms mount into the factory location and offer caster adjustment for a wide range of lift heights along with an OE-style rubber bushing at the frame mount for smooth, quiet, service-free operation.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

A pair of full-length, diesel-specific, Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains.

HD Adjustable Track Bar

Maintain proper handling and steering geometry with the BDS high strength adjustable track bar that allows you to recenter the front axle at a variety of lift heights.

 Important Notes

  1. Coil springs are designed for diesel trucks. Will work on gas trucks and will net roughly 3" of front lift.
  2. Mounting larger tires on factory wheels is not recommended due to potential brake line clearance issues.
  3. Factory track bar mounting bolt requires 405 ft-lbs of torque, plan ahead on how to achieve this torque spec.
