2013-2018 Ram HD 8" 4-Link Conversion Kit with FOX 2.0 Performance Shocks (BDS1625FS)

Go big with this BDS 8" lift kit with 4-Link conversion for your 2013-2018 RAM 3500 diesel, with clearance for up to 40" tires. Up front it includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, 4-Link control arms with conversion mounts, a forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar links, bump stops, stainless steel brake lines, and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 shocks. The 4-link converts the factory stamped steel radius arms to correct axle positioning and limit caster change through wheel travel. At this height the transfer case is indexed using a supplied indexing ring and new transmission crossmember. The rear uses a block and add-a-leaf combo or optional full BDS Glide-Ride leaf springs, with new u-bolts, brake line brackets, and matching shocks.
