- Heavy duty 4-link arms improve strength, handling and caster control
- High strength progressive rate coil springs for a great ride on any terrain
- Track bar relocation brackets to re-position axle
- Forged drop pitman arm to correct steering angles
- Front sway bar correction to maintain handling performance
- HD transmission crossmember and t-case indexing ring to correct front driveline angles and allow use of factory driveshafts
- BDS NX2 gas or FOX performance series IFP gas shocks to improved ride and offroad performance
Built to outperform, BDS Suspension engineered a 5.5-inch lift kit
with 4-Link conversion for your 2014-2018 RAM 2500 gas powered truck
that will surely impress. Designed to improve stance, performance, and
capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up
right with clearance for up to 37" tires.
Up front the lift kit includes gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs,
4-Link control arms with conversion mounts, forged drop pitman arm and
track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, brake line
brackets and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks.
At this height, the transfer case needs to be indexed to allow use of
the factory front driveshaft so an indexing ring and new transmission
crossmember are supplied. In the rear this kit utilizes progressive rate
Pro-Ride coil springs, track bar relocation bracket to correct axle
positioning, bump stop extensions, sway bar links and a matching set of
NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks.
4-Link Conversion
Convert the factory stamped steel radius arms over to the BDS 4-link
to optimize suspension geometry for better handling characteristics
while adding strength and stability. This bolt-on upgrade utilizes
high-strength 1/4-inch steel brackets that allow mounting of HD upper
and lower control arms to correct axle positioning while limiting caster
change throughout wheel travel.
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. Manufactured from high tensile
steel, our direct OE replacement coil springs are engineered with
properly sized wire diameter. This results in maximum reliability
without premature coil bind.
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.
