2011-2016 Superduty 8" 4-Link Conversion Kit with FOX 2.0 Performance Shocks (BDS1500FS)

BDS 8" lift kit with 4-link conversion for 2011-2016 Ford Super Duty F250 and F350 diesel trucks, with clearance for up to 38" tires. Up front are diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty 4-link control arms, a forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, brake line brackets, and nitrogen charged shocks. The rear uses replacement Glide-Ride leaf springs with integrated overload leaf, u-bolts, brake line brackets, and NX2 Nitro or FOX Performance shocks. The triple-stage Glide-Ride springs reduce axle wrap and stay smooth loaded or unloaded.
