2013-2018 Ram HD 5.5" 4-Link Conversion Kit with FOX 2.0 Performance Shocks (BDS1620FS)

BDS engineered this 5.5" lift kit with 4-link conversion for your 2013-2018 RAM 3500 gas truck, clearing up to 37" tires. Up front it includes gas-specific progressive rate 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 NX2 or FOX 2.0 shocks. The rear runs a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer u-bolts and matching NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks. The 4-link conversion replaces the factory stamped steel radius arms to optimize geometry and limit caster change.
