Description

Improve the ride and style of your 2009-2013 Dodge RAM 2500 4WD gas powered truck with this 6-inch 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 36" tires. BDS engineered new lower control arms are longer than stock to rotate the axle for proper alignment and built a relocation mounting bracket to flatten out the angle of the upper control arm to maintain your factory handling characteristics.

Up front the lift kit includes gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, all four control arms plus relocation bracket, forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, sway bar links, and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks. In the rear this kit utilizes heavy duty cast steel blocks, longer u-bolts, and a matching set of NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks.

Recommended Tires & Wheels

(Trimming may be required)

  • 36 x 12.5 with 17 x 9 and 5 in. Backspace

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.

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.
  • Reduces axle wrap and creates a more controlled and stable feel.
  • Multi-leaf progressive design for a smooth ride.
  • Maintains factory payload weight ratings.

Axle Diameter

The Dodge Ram truck has 2 different rear axle diameters. Please measure your rear axle and select the appropriate rear kit for your vehicle.

Shock Option

NX2 Nitro Series

  • Nitrogen-charged
  • Twin-tube design
  • 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving
  • Dual-welded ends for increased strength
  • 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston
  • Self-lubricating seals
  • Silver powder coat finish

FOX 2.0 Performance Series

  • 2-inch Impact extruded aluminum body
  • Internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design
  • CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends
  • Massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft
  • Race-developed high-flow piston design
  • Application-specific valving to maximize performance
  • Long-lasting clear anodized finish

Important Notes

  1. Measure rear axle tube before ordering. Some 4" axle models with dual overloads will require u-bolt 4068.
  2. Power Wagon applications require sway bar link kit #122401. The Power Wagon has a 2" taller ride height, so net lift gain will be 4".
  3. If driveline vibration occurs, order transfer case index kit #122801 or 122802.
  4. 102009 Rear brake lines will not fit 2012-13 models.
