Rear Lift Options

Block Kit: Blocks are made from cast iron for strength, tapered for correct pinion angle, with a steel pin and offset hole to restore axle position.

Leaf Springs: Eliminates the need for a lift block, reduces axle wrap for a more controlled and stable feel, and uses a multi-leaf progressive design for a smooth ride while maintaining factory payload weight ratings.

Shock Options

NX2 Nitro Series: Nitrogen-charged, twin-tube design, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, dual-welded ends for increased strength, 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston, self-lubricating seals, and a silver powder coat finish.

FOX 2.0 Performance Series: 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, a 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, race-developed high-flow piston design, application-specific valving, and a long-lasting clear anodized finish.

Important Notes

• Measure your rear axle tube before ordering. The Dodge Ram has two different rear axle diameters — select the appropriate rear kit for your vehicle.
• Some 4" axle models with dual overloads will require u-bolt 4068.
• Power Wagon applications require sway bar link kit #122401. The Power Wagon has a 2" taller ride height, so net lift gain will be 4".
• If driveline vibration occurs, order transfer case index kit #122801 or 122802.
• If your truck has had the steering gear box changed and the sector shaft diameter measures ~1-1/2"–1-5/8", you will need to add part #BDS082404 to your kit.
