2013-2018 Ram HD 5.5" 4-Link Conversion Kit with FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Shocks (BDS1608FPE)

BDS engineered this 5.5" lift kit with 4-Link conversion for the 2013-2018 Ram 3500 gas truck, with clearance for up to 37" tires. Up front it converts the factory stamped steel radius arms to a BDS 4-link using high-strength 1/4" steel brackets and HD upper and lower control arms, plus gas-specific Pro-Ride progressive rate coil springs, a forged drop pitman arm and track bar drop bracket for steering correction, bump stops, brake line brackets and FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks. In the rear it uses a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer u-bolts and a matching set of shocks.
