BDS 6 Inch Lift Kit for 2009-2013 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD Gas

Key Features

• Pro-Ride Coil Springs: Full-length, gas-specific, progressive-rate front coils made from high-tensile steel with properly sized wire diameters to deliver correct lift height, smooth ride quality, and maximum reliability without premature coil bind.
• Tubular Short Arms: All four control arms improve strength, handling, and caster control, while heavy-duty control arm brackets maintain proper suspension geometry.
• Steering Correction: Forged drop pitman arm minimizes steering angle and a heavy-duty track bar drop bracket keeps everything in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.
• Sway Bar Correction: Front sway bar links maintain handling performance after lift.
• Rear Lift Choice: Select either cast iron tapered blocks with offset steel pin (for correct pinion angle and restored axle position) and longer u-bolts, or upgraded multi-leaf progressive leaf springs that eliminate the need for a block, reduce axle wrap, and maintain factory payload ratings.
• Shock Options: Choose BDS NX2 Nitro Series (nitrogen-charged twin-tube, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, 1-3/8" high-flow piston, dual-welded ends, silver powder coat) or FOX 2.0 Performance Series IFP shocks (2" extruded aluminum body, monotube IFP design, CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum ends, 5/8" hard chrome plated alloy steel shaft, race-developed high-flow piston, application-specific valving).
• Tire Clearance: Designed to clear 36 x 12.5 tires on 17 x 9 wheels with 5" backspacing (trimming may be required).

Fitment

• 2009-2013 Dodge / Ram 2500 4WD - Gas

Important Notes & Exclusions

• Measure your rear axle tube before ordering. The Dodge Ram uses two different rear axle diameters - select the rear kit that matches your truck.
• Some 4" axle models with dual overloads will require u-bolt #4068.
• Power Wagon applications require sway bar link kit #122401. The Power Wagon sits 2" taller from the factory, so net lift gain will be 4".
• If driveline vibration occurs after install, order transfer case index kit #122801 or #122802.
• 102009 rear brake lines will not fit 2012-2013 models.

Installation

This is a complete bolt-on system that includes the major components needed for a 6" lift: front coil springs, all four control arms with relocation bracket, drop pitman arm, track bar bracket, sway bar links, bump stops, rear blocks (or leaf springs) with longer u-bolts, and a matched set of shocks. Professional installation is recommended due to the scope of the work and the front-end alignment required after install.
