BDS Suspension 4 Inch Lift Kit, Ram 1500 w/ Air Ride (13-18) 4WD, FOX 2.0 Performance Series Shocks
PN. BDS1623FS
A BDS Suspension lift kit raises your truck or SUV to make room for larger tires and add ground clearance, while correcting the geometry that matters for a good ride and safe handling. Each kit is engineered for the vehicle it fits, with components chosen to restore steering, driveline and suspension angles after the lift. BDS kits are offered with a choice of shock packages, so you can match the ride to how you use your vehicle, from daily driving and towing to trail and off-road use.
This part number is configured with shock: FOX 2.0 Performance Series Shocks. Front lift: 4 in (cross-member). Rear lift: 2.5 in (spacer). Clears tires up to 35 x 12.5. Recommended tire and wheel setups: 35 x 12.5 tires on 17 x 9 wheels with 4.5 in backspacing; 35 x 12.5 tires on 18 x 9 wheels with 5 in backspacing; 35 x 12.5 tires on 20 x 9 wheels with 5 in backspacing. Estimated installation time is 12 hrs, rated very difficult. Installation notes: The Rack and Pinion steering system is extremely sensitive to an out-of-round or out-of-balance tire/wheel combination. As you increase the tire diameter and/or decrease the wheel backspacing the more sensitive the system becomes and can cause minor steering wheel shimmy; It Fits factory air ride-equipped trucks only; The factory air ride is a closed-loop system. Opening the system more times than recommended in the lift instructions or factory service manual will require the system to be recharged. This can be done at any Ram dealer service department; Stock 20" wheels can be reinstalled with factory-sized tires only. Stock 17" and 18" wheels will not fit; This kit will bolt on Eco-Diesel models but it will require an aftermarket front drive shaft.
