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.

HD Adjustable Track Bar

Maintain proper handling and steering geometry with the BDS high strength adjustable track bar that allows you to recenter the front axle at a variety of lift heights. Built from 1-3/8" solid steel stock, the track bar comes pre-assembled with bushings and is ready to bolt into the factory mounting points.

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