4 Inch Lift Kit For Ram 1500 4WD (2012-2012) | Rear Lift 3 Inch Coil Spacers, Rear Shocks NX2 Nitro Series
Description
BDS steps up the performance and capability of the 2012 RAM 1500 4WD trucks with a 4-inch suspension lift kit. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 35" tires
This kit takes advantage of BDS's tried and true high-clearance design for improved ground clearance, strength, and offroad protection while correcting suspension and steering geometry for great on-road handling characteristics. Up front, the kit utilizes top mounted strut spacers, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers along with a multipiece differential relocation brackets and heavy duty skid plates built for offroad protection. Steering geometry is corrected at the new taller ride height with CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles and replacement tie rod ends allowing for ESC system compatibility. These combined with the provided sway bar drops, bump stop extensions, stainless steel braided brake lines, CV spacers, supplied hardware and more provide a comprehensive front suspension lift ready for whatever you throw at it.
In the rear this kit utilizes a 2" coil spacer, rear upper control arm relocation brackets to correct pinion angle, track bar relocation bracket to correct axle positioning, bump stop extensions, and sway bar links. The rear of these kits are rounded out with your choice of specially tuned NX2 nitro series gas shocks or FOX 2.0 IFP performance series gas shocks to offer improved damper performance.

Important Notes
- These trucks can vary from 1" to 3" tail high from the factory. Be sure to measure your vehicle before ordering. Part numbers 022209, 022309 and 022509 can all be substituted to achieve the desired stance.
- The Rack and Pinion steering system is extremely sensitive to an out-of-round or out-of-balance tire/wheel combination. As you increase the tire diameter and/or decrease the wheel backspacing the more sensitive the system becomes and can cause minor steering wheel shimmy.
- Not recommended for AWD models.
- Stock 17" and 18" wheels cannot be reinstalled. Stock 20" wheels can be reinstalled with factory tires.
- This kit is FMVSS No.126 Compliant
