BDS Suspension 6 Inch Lift Kit, Dodge Ram 2500/3500 (2008) 4WD, Gas, Leaf Springs, 3-1/2 Inch Axle, NX2 Nitro Series Shocks
PN. BDS686H
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 rear lift: Leaf Springs; rear axle: 3-1/2 Inch Axle; shock: NX2 Nitro Series Shocks. Front lift: 6 in (coil spring). Rear lift: 4 in (block, leaf spring). Clears tires up to 36 x 12.5. Recommended tire and wheel setups: 36 x 12.5 tires on 17 x 9 wheels with 5 in backspacing. Estimated installation time is 8 hrs, rated moderate. Installation notes: Measure rear axle tube before ordering. Some 4" axle models with dual overloads will require u-bolt 4068; Power Wagon applications require sway bar link kit #122401. The Power Wagon has a 2" taller ride height, so net lift gain will be 4"; If driveline vibration occurs, order transfer case index kit #122801 or 122802; If your Truck has had the steering gear box changed and the sector shaft diameter measures ~1-1/2"-1-5/8" you will need to add part # BDS082404 to your kit.
