Description
BDS Suspension has designed an 8-inch lift kit with long arm conversion specifically for your 2009-2013 Dodge RAM 2500 diesel truck. This impressive kit is engineered for top performance both on and off the road. With improved stance, capability, and the ability to accommodate up to 38" tires, this kit includes everything you need to set up your truck.
The long lower control arms have been carefully crafted to minimize caster change and provide a more controlled steering experience. Keeping in mind the stability of the suspension system, BDS has retained the factory triangulation of the arms. This kit also includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, all four control arms, a forged drop pitman arm, track bar bracket, bump stops, sway bar links, and precision-tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks. In the rear, heavy-duty cast steel blocks, longer u-bolts, and a set of matching NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.
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.
