2014-2018 Ram HD 8" 4-Link Conversion Kit with FOX 2.0 Performance Shocks (BDS1626FS)

Go big with this BDS 8" lift kit and 4-link conversion for your 2014-2018 RAM 2500 diesel, clearing up to 40" tires. Up front it includes diesel-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. At this height a transfer case indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are supplied.

In the rear, new outboard coil bucket seats (minor drilling required) mount the coils similar to a leaf-spring truck for a shorter, more stable coil that resists bowing. A new track bar relocation system sets rear roll-center height and centers the axle, finished with a heavy duty adjustable track bar, extended sway bar links and matching NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks.
