So, you've got a 1500 with Air Ride, and it rides awesome but you want to lift the truck for a more aggressive stance and off-road capability. The professionals at BDS Suspension have you covered with the BDS 4" Lift Kit for Ram 1500. Whether you want a taller stance to clear a set of 35" for cruising down the highway, or you are looking to take your Ram into the hills, this kit is designed to take whatever punishment you throw at it.
The 4" lift system utilizes the base components from BDS' popular 4" suspension system without air ride. This includes 1/4" thick steel laser cut front and rear crossmembers, differential skid plate, ductile cast iron steering knuckles, differential drop brackets, and sway bar link extensions. To accommodate for the full height range of the adjustable suspension, front replacement brake lines are also included.
Upper control arm relocation brackets, track bar relocation brackets, and sway bar links are included to ensure the suspension can fully cycle without binding up. To maintain the proper position and function of the factory airbags, the kit also incorporates front and rear airbag spacers. All necessary air line fittings and hardware are included so you're not trying to source parts all over town with a torn-down truck. Rounding out the rear suspension, you can choose between a set of BDS NX2 Series gas shocks, or upgrade to a pair of FOX 2.0 Gas Charged.
BDS Suspension is leading the industry by independently testing all suspension kits to verify our kits are fully compliant with the stability control system requirements set by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 126.
Shock Options:
- NX2 Nitro Series Shocks - BDS NX2 series gas shocks offer impressive performance on and offroad. They use a nitrogen-charged, twin-tube design with 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving for lightning-fast dampening and superior control.
- FOX 2.0 Series Shocks - Fox 2.0 performance series shocks have been tuned and tested by both FOX and BDS Suspension to maximize performance specific to each application and every BDS Suspension system. The Internal Floating Piston (IFP) shock design is based on proven Fox Racing Shocks race products but re-designed to maximize the ride quality, handling, and control of your BDS-equipped truck, whether on or off the road.
