5-Inch Lift Kit with NX2 Shocks

The BDS Suspension BDS219FS is a comprehensive 5-inch suspension lift kit engineered to significantly enhance the stance, performance, and capability of your 2000-2002 Dodge RAM 2500 and 3500 4WD truck. This system utilizes a 4-Link long arm conversion, designed to minimize caster change throughout the suspension's travel, resulting in a more controlled and stable steering feel. The long arms help maintain factory triangulation for added stability. The front of the kit features diesel-specific, progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs manufactured from high-tensile steel, ensuring a smooth and predictable ride while providing the necessary lift. For precise steering geometry correction, the kit includes a forged drop pitman arm to reduce steering angle and a heavy-duty track bar drop bracket to keep the front axle centered during suspension movement. Bump stops, sway bar drop brackets, and either NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen-charged shocks are also included for the front. In the rear, the kit incorporates heavy-duty cast steel blocks paired with an add-a-leaf setup and longer u-bolts to achieve the 4.5-inch rear lift. A matching set of NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks complements the rear suspension. This lift kit allows for clearance of up to 35-inch tires. Installation is rated as moderate with an estimated time of 8 hours, requiring tools such as a cut-off wheel and a pitman arm puller. Notes indicate that exhaust modification may be necessary. Additionally, the rear block and add-a-leaf kit requires identification of whether the vehicle is equipped with top-mounted overload springs.
