BDS 4 Inch Lift Kit w/ Radius Arm for 1980-1996 Ford F100/F150 4WD

Key Features

• Pro-Ride Coil Springs: Full-length, vehicle-specific dual-rate coil springs provide the correct lift height and a smooth, predictable ride across varied terrain.
• Extended Radius Arms: High-strength tubular radius arms replace the factory stamped steel units, reducing caster change through wheel travel for a more capable, controlled feel both on and off road.
• Easy, bolt-on installation with no major fabrication required.
• Heavy-duty steel drop brackets maintain proper suspension geometry.
• Cast steel blocks deliver a level stance from front to rear.
• NX2 Nitro shocks with vehicle-specific valving for improved ride control.
• Forged pitman arm for proper steering correction.

Rear Lift Options

• Block Kit: Cast iron blocks for strength, tapered for correct pinion angle, with an offset steel pin and hole to restore axle position.
• Block Kit + Add-A-Leaf: Add-a-leaf freshens up worn factory leaf springs; cast iron blocks for maximum strength; includes new center pins.
• Leaf Springs: Eliminates the need for a lift block, reduces axle wrap for a more controlled and stable feel, multi-leaf progressive design for a smooth ride, and maintains factory payload weight ratings.
