Description

Constructed for superior performance, BDS Suspension has engineered a 5-inch lift kit with a long arm conversion for your 2000-2002 Dodge RAM 2500 and 3500 4WD truck, providing maximum capabilities on and off the road. This all-inclusive kit is designed to enhance stance, performance, and ability, granting clearance for up to 35" tires. BDS has also designed long lower control arms that minimize caster change throughout wheel travel, resulting in a more controlled steering experience. 

The 4-Link long arm system maintains the factory triangulation of the arms, adding to the overall stability of the suspension system. The front of the lift kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, all four control arms, a mounting bracket, forged drop pitman arm, and a track bar bracket for steering correction, as well as bump stops, sway bar drop brackets, and precision-tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks. In the rear, the kit

 

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.
