BDS Suspension - 4" Suspension Lift Kit - 2013-2018 Dodge RAM 3500 4WD Diesel

Part # 696H

This system is for the all new redesigned front suspension for the Ram heavy duty trucks. The lift is designed around the relocation of the factory radius arm in order to correct suspension and steering geometry to work with 4" of lift. The radius arms are relocated with a uniquely designed bracket that mixes the ease of installation you get with an adapter-type bracket with the strength and durability of a full replacement radius arm mount bracket. The new relocation bracket ties into both the factory radius arm frame mount and the side of the frame rail.

At the frame, the new mount is fastened with specially machined sleeves and threaded inserts. The threaded inserts (2) do require a minor amount of welding in order to provide the strongest possible connection. This portion of the installation can be completed without welding and then transported to a weld shop to be welded if necessary.

In addition to the radius arm relocation, the kit includes everything else to properly lift the new 2013-17 Ram 3500s. Track bar relocation, dropped pitman arm and brake line relocation hardware position all the steering and brake components properly to work with the added ride height provided by the new progressive rate, full replacement coils springs.

Extra design time was spent developing coils that would ride great, handle the rigors of supporting a 1 ton heavy duty truck and work properly with the unique factory coil mounts at the frame and axle. In order to design the best possible coil springs, we found it necessary to develop side-specific coils. Since the coils are driver's and passenger's side specific, they are clearly and permanently labeled to ensure they are installed on the correct side.

The rear portion of the lift is accomplished with a traditional block and u-bolt setup to give a level stance.

Warranty Information

BDS Suspension - "No Fine Print Warranty"

BDS stands behind its products and that's evident by their No Fine Print Warranty. This warranty protects the original retail purchaser against breakage, bending, sagging, or any other usage failure. We don't care if you jumped your truck off a cliff, lit it on fire, rolled it down a hill, installed Chevy parts on your Ford, or even if you didn't read the instructions and cross threaded a bolt with too many Ugga Duggas! This "no fine print" lifetime replacement warranty extends to cover all BDS hard parts and includes a lifetime warranty on bushings! Exclusions would be product finish and wearable items as described below. All warranties require the customer to provide a Proof of purchase including Name, product, purchase date and price paid.

No Fine Print Warranty ~ If you are the original purchaser of any BDS product and it breaks, they will give you a new part. Period.

Wearable Parts | Limited Lifetime Warranty

BDS NX2 Series Shocks and BDS/Fox Performance Series Shocks:
Shock oil seals are not covered by this Limited Lifetime Warranty because they are subject to wear over time and use. At BDS's discretion, leaking shock seals less than 2 years from date of purchase, free from contamination, damage, or abnormal seal wear due to misuse can be considered for repair or replacement under warranty. A shock absorber is a wear item and over time will experience diminished damping resistance due to normal component wear. This is not a defect in material or workmanship and is therefore not warrantable. Defects in material and workmanship do not include such things as dented cylinders or bent rods caused by obvious side impact, rust or corrosion.

Fox Proprietary Shocks and Coil Overs:
Fox Proprietary parts are covered by their warranty and are not included in the BDS Warranty. BDS may offer to assist with the warranty of defective product, at our discretion. Other warranty concerns should be handled through the Fox Service program. Leaking shock seals less than 1 year from date of purchase, free from contamination, damage, or abnormal seal wear due to misuse can be considered for Warranty. FOX service information can be

Ball Joints and Tie Rod Ends:
These items are subject to normal wear over time. However, Ball Joints and Tie Rod ends less than 3 years from the date of purchase, that have been properly greased, maintained, and do not show signs of abnormal use can be considered for warranty.

BDS Suspension's obligation under all warranties is limited to the repair or replacement, at BDS's option, of the defective material. BDS will cover the cost of ground shipping on warranty items, and a return shipping label if we require the warranty part to be returned to us. Any cost of removal, installation or reinstallation, expedited freight charges, incidental or consequential damages are expressly excluded from these warranties. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
