BDS 5.5-Inch Lift Kit with 4-Link Conversion

The BDS Suspension 5.5-inch lift kit with a 4-Link conversion is engineered for 2014-2018 Ram 2500 4WD gas models. This comprehensive kit is designed to enhance your truck's stance, performance, and off-road capability, providing clearance for tires up to 37 inches. Key components include gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs for both front and rear, offering a smooth and predictable ride. The front suspension features a 4-Link conversion system with HD control arms and mounting brackets to optimize suspension geometry, correct axle positioning, and limit caster changes. A forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket are included to correct steering angles and keep the front axle centered. For proper driveline operation at this height, the kit supplies a transfer case indexing ring and a new transmission crossmember, enabling the use of the factory front driveshaft. Rear suspension components include progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs, a track bar relocation bracket, bump stop extensions, and sway bar links to ensure correct axle positioning and suspension travel. This kit offers a choice of three shock options: BDS NX2 Nitro Series, FOX 2.0 Performance Series, or FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series. The NX2 shocks feature a twin-tube design with 10-stage valving. The FOX 2.0 shocks utilize an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) monotube design with application-specific valving. The premium FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series shocks offer increased off-road capabilities with external reservoirs and Dual Speed Compression (DSC) adjustability. Installation considerations include a weld/bolt-on upgrade for the 4-link brackets. Recommended tire and wheel fitments for 37-inch tires are provided, noting that some trimming may be required.
