Description

Take your 2013-2018 RAM 3500 gas powered truck to the next level by installing a 5.5-inch lift kit with radius arms engineered by 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 37" tires.

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

In the rear this kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer u-bolts 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
  • Front high strength progressive rate coil springs for a great ride on any terrain
  • Front track bar relocation bracket 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

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, progressive rate 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. 6.4L gas models will require exhaust modification to clear the front driveshaft. 5.7L gas models may require exhaust modification as well. The vehicle can be driven without the front driveshaft to an exhaust shop for modifications to be made before reinstalling the driveshaft.
  2. The carrier bearing drop is necessary for models equipped with two-piece rear drive shaft.
  3. Some vehicles may require a rear driveshaft spacer kit 122007 to maintain adequate rear driveshaft engagement
  4. DRW models fit inner wheel clearance to the upper u-bolt plate on 5.5-6" kits
