BDS Suspension 4" Standard Lift System 14-18 Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins 4WD w/ Rear Air Ride

BDS Suspension 4" Standard Lift System 14-18 Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins 4WD w/ Rear Air Ride

Is it time for you to "raise your game"? Take your Ram 2500 this year further than it has ever gone before with the 4" Standard Lift System by BDS. This 4" Radius Arm Drop System uses a pair of 1/4" thick steel radius arm relocation brackets to reposition the factory radius arms and correct suspension geometry and caster at 4" of lift. These brackets are designed for quick installation and create a stout mounting location for the radius arms by tying into both the factory radius arm frame mount and the side of the frame rails.

The additional height comes from a pair of specially designed progressive rate ProRide coil springs. The 4" coils have been engineered and tested to improve the ride quality and performance across all terrains while holding up to the rigors that heavy duty truck owners demand. A heavy duty track bar relocation bracket is included to recenter the front axle once lifted as well as a forged drop pitman arm to correct steering angles. Sway bar relocation brackets are used to reposition the front sway bar assembly and the supplied brake line brackets allow for the easy adjustment of the stock lines to be reused with the lift kit.

In the rear, 1/4" steel, 3.5" tall gusseted air bag spacers are used along with a rear track bar bracket to correct axle positioning, extended length sway bar links, and bump stop extensions. BDS supplies new air ride leveling sensor brackets to position the ride height sensors at the stock angle. This allows the rear suspension to perform just like it does at factory ride height and maintain full air bag range of motion.

Shock Options

This 4" Lift Kit comes with the following shock options for your front and rear:

NX2 Series is a solid wallet-friendly choice whether you are staying on the road or heading up a mountain. Built with a nitrogen-charged twin-tube design and 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving for lighting-fast dampening, you can be sure that you will be ready to meet whatever challenge your Ford can get into. Like your Ram, it's built to last using a 14mm hardened chrome shaft and a fluon-banded piston with self-lubricating seals means rock chips and corrosion aren't going to be your problem. If you are looking for a choice that gives you the best bang for your buck and won't let you down choose the NX2 Series shock.

FOX 2.0 Performance was built with a mind towards making your BDS lifted truck a formidable off-road vehicle. FOX and BDS worked together to specifically tune each valve so that it functions in concert with each BDS Suspension system. Built on a race-developed high-flow piston design and CNC Machined 6061-T6 clear anodized aluminum these shocks won't fail when you need them most. FOX is known for its race products so if you are looking for a suspension that you can depend on when you're pushing your Ram to the limit these are the ones for you.

Steering Stabilizers

Combat the stability and ride quality issues you get with those extra large tires and suspension with BDS's Dual Steering Stabilizers. Larger tires mean more traction but result in an unstable ride as your stock steering system wasn't built for the added stress. Give it the support it needs by installing stabilizers using a high-grade steel mounting bracket and either NX2 Series or FOX 2.0 Series shocks. Not only will you see an improvement in ride quality but less wear and tear on your ride as well. Get a predictable ride that can handle any road or trail conditions you can throw at it without losing any performance.

Brake Line Set

Since your under there, it's always a good idea to improve the safety and style of your front brake lines with the BDS Stainless Steel Front Brake Line Set. Last thing you want to have happen when your going off-road is a issue with your brakes and these are made to take abuse better than stock lines. Plus, these are specifically designed for trucks with a 4-8" lift. Using a one-piece crimp design these have a long lasting quality along with a firmer brake feel.

Adjustable Track Bar

Upgrade to a BDS Heavy Duty Adjustable Track Bar.

The upgraded track bar allows for quick and precise tuning ability for re-centering the rear or front axle. In addition to the improvements in strength and adjustablility compared to the stock track bar, it also provides better control of the axle by replacing the soft factory rubber bushings with high durometer polyurethane at the frame and a forged COM bearing joint at the axle. Both ends are rebuildable and the poly bushings are greaseable. Can be used with or without track bar relocation when needed for heights of 0-8".

Technical Features: 

  • Heavy-duty 1-3/8" solid stock steel construction
  • Center pinch-bolt style turnbuckle adjustment
  • Allows axle to be recentered at a wide range of lift heights
  • Specially formed to alleviate stress on mount points
  • Ready to install without need to clear factory frame/axle mounts

Carrier Bearing Drop Kit

A 2-piece rear drive shaft will require some extra work as the geometry of your drive system will now have some added stress. We recommend adding this carrier bearing drop to avoid any potential driveline vibration with the added lift height.

Sway Bar Disconnects

This kit allows a standard Ram heavy-duty trucks to enjoy the added articulation of a disconnected sway bar. The new sway bar links are made from 7/8" solid steel bar and feature greaseable, high-misalignment polyurethane bushings. All mounting hardware is included for simple, bolt on installation. The disconnect pins are made from stainless steel and make disconnecting easy via the removable pin clip. A set of lanyards with easy-to-grip buckles are included in the kit to retain the sway bar when disconnected. This kit also includes standard mounting hardware that can be installed in place of the disconnect pin for those that want a fixed mounted link.

Transfer Case Indexing Ring 6 or 8 Bolt

Just like with the driveshaft, it's important to get your transfer case into a better angle as to eliminate unwanted vibrations from your front driveline not connecting right. Check to see if your Ram has a 6 or 8 bolt transfer case connection and use this indexing ring to re-align it. This kit comes with all the hardware you need and a billet aluminum driveshaft spacer.
