8" 2013-2018 Dodge Ram 3500 4WD (w/diesel engine) 4-Link Lift Kit by BDS Suspension

The BDS Suspension BDS1614H / BDS1614FS 8-inch 4-link lift kit for the 2013 through 2018 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel is an awesome way to upgrade your suspension and fit up to 40-inch tires.

The design for these kits starts with 2 massive frame brackets that provide the mounting points for the new upper and lower control arms. These brackets locate off of the factory radius arm brackets, no factory bracket removal required. The new 4-Link brackets mount similar to the current radius arm relocation brackets, wrapping the frame and nesting in the factory radius arms mounts. As with our radius arm brackets, there is a minor amount of welding required to install the threaded frame insert (1 per side). This insert is necessary to provide the strongest possible mount. The new control arm positions at the frame create better suspension geometry and reduce caster change through wheel travel compared to the radius arm setup. This creates better handling and a more controlled steering 'feel,', especially in rough terrain when the suspension can travel and articulate. The large diameter, heavy-wall tubular control arms are formed for tire clearance when turning and position the axle slightly forward from stock to create more clearance to the rear portion of the front fenders.

The new front coil springs are dual rate to provide excellent on-road ride and off-road performance. Transfer case indexing kit, Track bar relocation, a dropped pitman arm, sway bar end-links and stainless brake lines round out the front portion of the system.

The rear is lifted using leaf springs 2, 2-inch blocks, and new U-bolts to achieve a level stance. Available with both BDS NX2 or Fox 2.0 Performance Series shocks.
