2019-2024 Ram HD 8" 4-Link Conversion Kit with NX2 Nitro Shocks (BDS1727H)

BDS 8" 4-Link conversion lift kit for the 2019-2024 Ram 2500 diesel, clearing up to 40" tires. The front converts the factory stamped steel radius arms to a BDS 4-link with HD upper and lower control arms on 1/4" steel brackets, plus diesel-specific progressive-rate Pro-Ride coil springs, a forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, and brake line brackets. A t-case indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are supplied. The rear uses new outboard frame-mounted coil bucket seats (minor drilling required) for a shorter, more stable coil that resists bowing, plus a track bar relocation system, adjustable track bar, extended sway bar links, and matching shocks.
