Description

Designed to improve performance, stance, and capability, BDS Suspension has engineered a 5.5-inch lift kit with 4-Link conversion specifically for your 2014-2018 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD gas truck. This kit includes everything you need to properly lift your truck and accommodate up to 37" tires, including gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, 4-Link control arms, forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, brake line brackets, and high-quality NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks. 

To ensure compatibility with the factory front driveshaft, the transfer case must be indexed at this height, so an indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are provided. The rear of the truck is lifted with progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs, and includes a track bar relocation bracket, bump stop extensions, sway bar links, and a matching set of NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks

 

4-Link Conversion

Convert the factory stamped steel radius arms over to the BDS 4-link to optimize suspension geometry for better handling characteristics while adding strength and stability. This bolt-on upgrade utilizes high-strength 1/4-inch steel brackets that allow mounting of HD upper and lower control arms to correct axle positioning while limiting caster change throughout wheel travel.

 

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

A pair of full-length, gas-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.
