7-Inch 4-Link Lift Kit w/ FOX 2.5 Shocks

The BDS Suspension BDS2252FPE is a comprehensive 7-inch, 4-Link lift kit engineered for 2023-2025 Ford F250 and F350 4WD diesel trucks. This kit is designed to significantly enhance your truck's stance, performance, and off-road capability, providing clearance for tires up to 38 inches in diameter. The front suspension upgrades include diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, a 4-Link control arm conversion system to optimize geometry, a forged drop pitman arm, and a track bar bracket for precise steering correction and front axle centering. Further enhancing the front end are sway bar relocation brackets, brake line brackets, and custom-tuned FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series shocks, known for their adjustability and durability. To accommodate the lift height and maintain proper driveline angles with factory front driveshafts, the kit includes a transfer case indexing ring with ARP studs and a high-clearance transmission crossmember. The rear of the vehicle is addressed with a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer u-bolts, additional brake line brackets, and a matching set of FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series shocks. The BDS 4-Link conversion replaces the factory radius arms with robust ¼-inch steel brackets and HD control arms, improving handling, stability, and caster control throughout the suspension's travel. Important considerations for installation include: SRW (Single Rear Wheel) models only. Ford recommends replacing the pitman arm nut. If your truck has a top-mounted overload spring with a spacer block taller than 1-1/8", a specific UBT4027 kit is required. A small pitman arm puller is needed for drag link joint removal. For trucks with a 2-piece rear driveshaft, the BDS123402 Carrier Bearing Drop Kit may be necessary. Tremor models will not achieve the full advertised lift height due to their factory-taller stance. Minor trimming may be required for 38x12.50 tires on certain wheel setups, and installation requires a torque wrench capable of 405 ft-lbs. It is recommended to address Ford Safety Recall 21S31 (rear axle vibration) before installation. Furthermore, recalibration of your vehicle's Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) components (cameras, radar, LiDAR) by a dealership or ADAS service center may be necessary to ensure proper functionality of features like lane keeping and adaptive cruise control.
