BDS 5-Inch Lift Kit with 4-Link Conversion

The BDS Suspension 5-inch lift kit with 4-Link conversion is engineered to significantly enhance the stance, performance, and capability of 2020-2022 Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty gas-powered trucks. This comprehensive kit features a 4-Link conversion up front, replacing the factory radius arms with high-strength steel brackets and HD control arms to optimize suspension geometry, improve handling, and ensure proper axle positioning. It includes gasoline-specific Pro-Ride coil springs for a smooth and predictable ride, a forged drop pitman arm, and a heavy-duty track bar drop bracket to correct steering angles and recenter the front axle. The rear of the kit utilizes a strong fabricated lift block and longer u-bolts for a level stance. Shocks, either NX2 Nitro Series or FOX 2.0 Performance Series, are included to complement the lift. Installation is rated as difficult and is estimated to take 8-10 hours, requiring specialized tools such as a cutoff tool and pitman arm puller. The kit offers clearance for up to 37-inch tires, with recommended wheel and tire sizes provided. Specific notes regarding installation include the recommendation to replace the pitman arm nut after removal, potential requirements for overload spacer blocks or carrier bearing drop kits depending on specific configurations, and the necessity of front exhaust modification on gas models to clear the front driveshaft. Important fitment considerations include that Tremor models may not achieve the full advertised lift due to their taller factory ride height, resulting in the same final ride height as standard models. Larger tires on stock wheels are not recommended due to brake line clearance requirements, and minor trimming may be necessary for 37x12.50 tires on certain wheel setups. The installation requires a torque wrench capable of 405 ft-lbs. Additionally, if your truck has a rear driveline vibration, BDS recommends addressing any applicable Ford Safety Recall 21S31 before installing the lift kit. Due to lower factory ride heights on 2020 and newer trucks, the net lift gained may be approximately 1 inch more than advertised.
