How do I know if this part fits my vehicle?

Unsure if it’ll fit? No problem — that’s what we’re here for. Send us your vehicle’s year, make, and model, and we’ll verify fitment before you order. We can also point you toward compatible upgrades or supporting parts if needed.

Description

Transform your gas-powered Dodge Ram 3500 4WD truck with this 5.5-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension. Experience improved stance, performance, and capability with this comprehensive kit that provides clearance for tires up to 37". 

The kit includes gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty radius arms, drop pitman arm, track bar bracket, sway bar relocation, brake line brackets, and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks.

An indexing ring and transmission crossmember are also included to properly adjust the transfer case for the factory front driveshaft. The rear is lifted with a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer u-bolts, and a matching set of NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks. Elevate your truck and conquer any terrain!

 

HD Radius Arms

In place of the factory stamped steel radius arms BDS supplies a pair of high-strength tubular radius arms. These arms mount into the factory location and offer caster adjustment for a wide range of lift heights along with an OE-style rubber bushing at the frame mount for smooth, quiet, service-free operation.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Rear Lift Option

Select rear box kit based on whether or not your RAM has factory Rear Overload Leaf.
