2020-2022 Superduty 7" FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Conversion Kit (BDS1981FPE)

Take your 2020-2022 Ford Super Duty diesel to the next level with this 7" radius arm lift kit and FOX 2.5 Performance Elite coil-over shocks from BDS, with clearance for up to 38" tires. Up front it includes FOX 2.5 coil-over shocks, heavy-duty tubular replacement radius arms with caster adjustment, a forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, and brake line brackets. The transfer case is indexed with the supplied ARP-stud indexing ring and high-clearance transmission crossmember, while the rear uses a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer u-bolts, brake line brackets, and a matching set of FOX shocks.

The FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks include a remote reservoir for added fluid capacity and cooling, plus Dual Speed Compression adjustment offering 10 low-speed and 12 high-speed settings to dial in for any terrain.

Notes

• Ford recommends replacement of the pitman arm nut each time it has been removed

• If your truck is equipped with a factory rear sway bar, add BDS123808
• If your truck is equipped with a 2-piece rear driveshaft, a Carrier Bearing Drop Kit may be required: BDS123402
• Due to the taller factory ride height, Tremor models will not net the full advertised lift height. Final ride height will be the same as standard models
• Larger tires on the stock wheels are not recommended due to brake line clearance required; use recommended specs in the wheel and tire fitment section
• The indexing ring is only compatible with 10-speed transmission trucks; verify your truck's equipment before installing. The transfer case indexing ring will not fit 6.2L vehicles equipped with the 6R100 transmission
• Indexing ring is NOT designed for manual shift transfer case models. Modification of the shift cable mount will be required
• Installation requires a torque wrench capable of 405 ft-lbs
• Some trucks with a rear driveline vibration may have a Ford recall regarding the rear axle (Safety Recall 21S31). BDS recommends having this performed prior to installing the lift
