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.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

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

Steering Correction

To optimize steering geometry once lifted, a forged drop pitman arm is used to minimize the steering angle and pair it with a heavy duty track bar drop bracket to keep them in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.

Important Notes

1. This kit is not compatible with trucks equipped with radius arm mounted ride height sensors.
2. Ford recommends the replacement of the pitman arm nut after each time it has been removed.
3. Use a small pitman arm puller to remove the drag link joint and steering stabilizer taper.
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 full advertised lift height. Final ride height will be the same as standard models.
6. Larger tires on stock wheel are not recommended due to interference with brake line, radius arm and sway bar. Use recommended specs listed in wheel and tire fitment section.
7. Minor trimming may be necessary for clearance of 37x12.50 tires on certain wheel setups.
8. Installation requires a torque wrench capable of 406 ft-lbs.
9. Trucks without top mounted overload springs will require (4) UBT4028.
