Premium Suspension Performance for Your RAM 3500

The BDS 1685FS Radius Arm Lift Kit is engineered to elevate the capability, stance, and ride quality of your 2019–2024 RAM 3500 diesel. Designed specifically for trucks with rear overload leaf springs and 8-bolt Aisin transmissions, this system improves suspension articulation and front-end geometry while maintaining factory driveline compatibility.

Upgraded Components for Maximum Strength and Ride Quality

This kit replaces factory radius arms with high-strength tubular arms, which offer improved durability and caster adjustability. The diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs ensure predictable handling on- and off-road. FOX 2.0 nitrogen-charged shocks deliver the comfort and performance needed for daily driving and rugged terrain alike.

Precision Steering Correction and Driveline Integration

To maintain proper alignment and prevent bump steer, the system includes a forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket. At this lift height, a 15° indexing ring and upgraded crossmember are required to maintain correct driveline angles with factory driveshafts—both are included.
