Suspension Performance Upgrade. The BDS 5.5-Inch 4-Link Suspension Lift Kit with FOX 2.0 Performance Shocks significantly enhances the stance, handling, and off-road capability of 2014-2018 RAM 2500 gas trucks equipped with factory air ride suspension. This comprehensive kit replaces the factory radius arms with heavy-duty 4-link control arms and includes gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs and matching shock absorbers to deliver smooth, reliable performance across varied terrains.
Construction and Appearance. This kit features robust components made from high-strength steel, including 1/4-inch steel brackets used in the 4-link conversion and forged drop pitman arms for precise steering correction. The Pro-Ride coil springs are full-length, gas-specific, and designed with a progressive rate using high tensile steel. FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks feature durable 2-inch extruded aluminum bodies with anodized finishes, CNC-machined aluminum mounting ends, and heat-treated alloy steel shafts for superior durability and corrosion resistance.
Installation. Installing this lift kit is a difficult task requiring approximately 7–9 hours and specialized tools such as step drill bits and a pitman arm puller. Drilling and welding are required to properly mount components like the 4-link brackets and transmission crossmember, so professional or experienced installation is recommended for best results.
Application. This lift kit fits 2014-2018 4WD RAM 2500 models with 5.7L or 6.4L gas engines equipped with factory air ride suspension. 6.4L gas models require exhaust modification to clear the front driveshaft, and 5.7L models may also require exhaust adjustment before reinstalling the driveshaft.
