Built to outperform, BDS Suspension engineered a 6-inch lift kit with 4-Link conversion for your 2019-2024 RAM 2500 diesel powered truck that will surely impress. Works on trucks with factory rear air ride option. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 37" tires.
Up front the lift kit includes diesel-specific 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 precision tuned FOX nitrogen charged shocks.
At this height, the transfer case needs to be indexed to allow use of the factory front driveshaft so an indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are supplied. In the rear this kit utilizes progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs, track bar relocation bracket to correct axle positioning, bump stop extensions, sway bar links and a matching set of FOX 2.0 Performance shocks.
Features & Benefits
Convert the factory stamped steel radius arms over to the BDS 4-link to optimize suspension geometry for better handling characteristics while adding strength and stability. This bolt-on upgrade utilizes high-strength 1/4-inch steel brackets that allow mounting of HD upper and lower control arms to correct axle positioning while limiting caster change throughout wheel travel.
A pair of full-length, diesel-specific, progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains. Manufactured from high tensile steel, our direct OE replacement coil springs are engineered with properly sized wire diameter. This results in maximum reliability without premature coil bind.
To optimize steering geometry once lifted, a forged drop pitman arm is used to minimize the steering angle and pair it with a heavy duty track bar drop bracket to keep them in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.
Prevent front driveline issues on your lifted Diesel powered 2019-2024 2500 truck with the BDS transfer case indexing ring kit. At 4" of lift and above it is necessary to index the transfer case to allow the front driveline to reconnect and eliminate vibrations. Designed for 6-bolt flange transmissions, the BDS t-case index ring kit has optimal spline engagement and is dual-drilled to allow positioning for compatibility with a range of lift heights.

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.
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
