BDS1562FS | BDS Suspension 7 Inch Lift Kit With Radius Arm For Ford F-250 / F-350 Super Duty 4WD | 2020-2022 | Diesel, Rear Leaf Springs | Fox 2.0 Performance Series Shocks

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 Radius Arms

In place of the factory stamped steel radius arms BDS supplies a pair of high-strength tubular 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.

T-Case Indexing

At this height, driveline adjustments are necessary to allow the use of the factory driveshafts so a precision-built transfer-case indexing ring featuring ARP-studs can clock the transfer case and improve the front driveline operating angle. Additionally, a high clearance transmission crossmember is supplied to allow sufficient clearance.

Important Notes

1. Ford recommends the replacement of the pitman arm nut after each time it has been removed.
2. Use a small pitman arm puller to remove the drag link joint and steering stabilizer taper.
3. If your truck is equipped with a factory rear sway bar add: BDS123808
4. If your truck is equipped with a 2-piece rear driveshaft, a Carrier Bearing Drop Kit may be required: BDS123402.
5. Due to the taller factory ride height, Tremor models will not net the full advertised lift height. The final ride height will be the same as standard models.
6. Larger tires on the stock wheels are not recommended due to the brake line clearance required. Use recommended specs listed in the wheel and tire fitment section.
7. The indexing ring is only compatible with 10-speed transmission trucks. Please verify your truck's equipment before installing it. The transfer case indexing ring will not fit 6.2L vehicles equipped with the 6R100 transmission.
8. Indexing Ring has NOT been designed to work on manual shift transfer case models. Modification of the shift cable mount will be required.
9. Installation requires a torque wrench capable of 405 ft-lbs.
10. Some trucks with a rear driveline vibration may have a recall from Ford regarding the rear axle. (Safety Recall 21S31) Due to the recall procedure, BDS recommends having this performed prior to installing the lift.
11. Due to factory ride heights being lower on 2020 and newer model year trucks, the net lift you will gain with this kit will be 1" more than advertised. (EX. 4" kit will net 5" of lift)
