8-Inch Lift Kit - Long Arm for 2008 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4WD Diesel
Description
Description
Maximize the performance of your 2008 Dodge RAM 2500 and 3500 diesel truck with a BDS Suspension 8-inch lift kit that enhances both on and off-road capabilities. Engineered for improved stance, performance, and clearance up to 38" tires, this kit includes everything you need for a proper setup.
Designed to reduce caster change and provide a more controlled steering feel, the long lower control arms retain the factory triangulation for added suspension stability. The kit also features diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, control arms, mounting bracket, drop pitman arm, track bar bracket, bump stops, sway bar links, and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 shocks. In the rear, heavy duty cast steel blocks, longer u-bolts, and matching NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 shocks complete the kit for a well-rounded upgrade.
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.
