BDS 4.5 Inch Lift Kit with Long Arm Conversion for 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4WD

Key Features

• Tubular long lower control arms reduce caster change for a more controlled feel on and off road
• Heavy duty control arm brackets maintain proper suspension geometry
• Diesel-specific Pro-Ride progressive rate front coil springs deliver lift height and a smooth, predictable ride
• Forged drop pitman arm corrects steering angles after lift
• Front track bar relocation bracket re-positions the axle and keeps steering in phase through travel
• Sway bar drop brackets preserve factory handling characteristics
• Choice of BDS NX2 Nitro Series (nitrogen-charged twin-tube, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, 1-3/8" high-flow piston, dual-welded ends) or FOX 2.0 Performance Series (2" extruded aluminum IFP monotube, 5/8" hard chrome shaft, application-specific valving)
• Rear lift options: heavy duty cast steel blocks with add-a-leaf combo and longer u-bolts, OR multi-leaf progressive add-a-pack that eliminates the block, reduces axle wrap, and maintains factory payload ratings
• Clearance for 35x12.50 tires on 16x8 wheels with 4" backspacing (trimming may be required)

Fitment

• 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD (all submodels)
• 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 3500 4WD (Base and select submodels — see chart)
• Fits trucks built after February 9, 1994 due to track bar stud size

Important Notes

• These trucks were produced with and without a top-mounted overload spring on the rear leaf packs. Identify which configuration your vehicle has before ordering the correct rear lift option.
• Exhaust modification may be required.
• A dual stabilizer may be substituted for the single stabilizer included in the kit.
• Professional installation is recommended due to the long arm conversion and steering correction components involved.
