Description

Take your 2014-2018 RAM 2500 diesel powered truck to the next level with this 4-inch radius arm lift kit from BDS Suspension. 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.

Up front the lift kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty replacement radius arms, forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, brake line brackets and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks.

In the rear this kit utilizes progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs, track bar relocation bracket to correct axle positioning, bump stop extensions, sway bar links and a matching set of NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks.

Features & Benefits

  • Heavy duty tubular radius arms improve strength, handling and caster control
  • High strength progressive rate coil springs for a great ride on any terrain
  • Track bar relocation brackets to re-position axle
  • Forged drop pitman arm to correct steering angles
  • Front sway bar correction to maintain handling performance
  • HD transmission crossmember and t-case indexing ring to correct front driveline angles and allow use of factory driveshafts
  • BDS NX2 gas or FOX performance series IFP gas shocks to improved ride and offroad performance

Recommended Tires & Wheels

(Trimming may be required)

  • 35 x 12.5 with 20 x 9 and 4.5 in. Backspace
  • 35 x 12.5 with 20 x 9 and 5.625 in. Backspace

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, diesel-specific, progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains. Manufactured from high tensile steel, our direct OE replacement coil springs are engineered with properly sized wire diameter. This results in maximum reliability without premature coil bind.

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. Fits 4WD models only
  2. Stock 18" wheels cannot be reinstalled due to steering interference. Stock 20s can be reinstalled with factory tire size

  4. Will NOT fit adjustable "air ride" suspension equipped models.
  5. Standard Ram 1500 acheives 4in of lift with this kit. Rebel and Offroad package trucks acheive 3in of lift due to being 1in taller from the factory.
  6. Will NOT work on diesel models
  7. Will NOT fit 2019-2022 RAM 1500 Classic models, Refer to the 2018 kit listings.
  8. Will NOT fit models equipped with the Thermal Axle option. Reference build code DSK-P or check diff cover for cooling lines mounted as circled in image below.
  9. IF USING 18IN WHEELS WITH MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED BACKSPACING, TEST FIT WHEELS ON VEHICLE BEFORE MOUNTING TIRES TO ENSURE CLEARANCE
