(Trimming may be required)

4-Link Conversion

Convert the factory stamped steel radius arms over to the BDS 4-link to optimize suspension geometry for better handling characteristics while adding strength and stability. This bolt-on upgrade utilizes high-strength ¼-inch steel brackets that allow mounting of HD upper and lower control arms to correct axle positioning while limiting caster change throughout wheel travel.

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.

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.

Rear Lift Option

Block Kit

• Blocks are made from cast iron for strength.
• Tapered for correct pinion angle.
• Steel pin and hole are offset to restore axle position.

Leaf Springs

• Eliminates any need for a lift block.

Important Notes

1. Removal of factory block required. Rear add a leaf is required for models equipped with factory 3-7/8" block for level to tail high stance. Single add-a-leaf kit # 113218 recommended for more level stance - Dual add-a-leaf kit # 113209 recommended for tail high stance. (Add-a-leafs do not apply to rear leaf spring equipped systems)
2. If equipped with 2-piece driveshaft, a driveshaft alignment kit may be required.
3. Although extremely rare, front and/or rear driveline vibration may occur.
4. If equipped with rear sway bar, #123009 required.
5. U-bolts will not work on dually.
