BDS Suspension is now shipping suspension lifts and accessories for the rear air ride equipped RAM 3500 4WD trucks.
These kits are designed to convert the factory radius arm over to a stronger 4-link design offering improved stability, handling and articulation. The kit is designed with 1/4" fabricated 4-link brackets that key into the factory radius arm pockets for added strength. The 4-link design improves handling and drivability by limiting castor change to less than 1-degree throughout wheel travel. These kits also include diesel engine specific progressive rate front ProRide coil springs, front and rear track bar brackets, a forged drop pitman arm, extended bump stops, brake line relocation brackets, sway bar correction, rear block and u-bolt kit along with rear air bag lower spacers and sensor brackets. Rounding out the kits is your choice of BDS NX2 series gas shocks or FOX 2.0 performance gas shocks at each corner. These kits allow for 35-37" tires to be installed.
Note: Components displayed in images may change based upon selections.
Important Kit Notes
1. The carrier bearing drop (122405) is necessary for models equipped with two piece rear drive shaft.
2. Some vehicles may require rear driveshaft spacer kit 122007 to maintain adequate rear driveshaft engagement.
3. Will NOT fit cab and chassis models.
4. The shocks used in these kits are different than a standard 3500, do not use a different shock length or damage to the air bag will result.
5. Can be used on SRW or DRW models.
