Up front the lift kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs heavy-duty replacement radius arms forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction sway bar relocation brake line brackets and custom-tuned nitrogen charged shocks. At this height the transfer case needs to be indexed to allow use of the factory front driveshaft so an indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are supplied. In the rear this kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block longer u-bolts brake line brackets and a matching set of NX2 Nitro or FOX Performance shocks.
Pro-Ride Coil Springs
A pair of full-length diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth predictable ride across various terrains.
HD Radius Arms
In place of the factory stamped steel radius arms BDS supplies a pair of high-strength tubular radius arms. These arms mount into the factory location and offer caster adjustment for a wide range of lift heights along with an OE-style rubber bushing at the frame mount for smooth quiet service-free operation.
T-Case Indexing
At this height driveline adjustments are necessary to allow the use of the factory driveshafts so a precision-built transfer-case indexing ring featuring ARP-studs can clock the transfer case and improve the front driveline operating angle. Additionally a high clearance transmission crossmember supplied to allow sufficient clearance.Tapered and roll-pointed leafs add flexibility and provide an even deflection rate Increased wheel travel and a softer ride from tapering allow smoother transition between leafs as compression takes place Higher articulation from bolt-style leaf alignment clamps prevents leafs from fanning out allowing leafs to twist and flex Multi-leaf progressive design for smooth ride Anti-friction pads provide a smooth and quiet ride Front Lift Height: 7 IN Front Lift Method: Coil Spring Installation Difficulty: difficult Installation Time: 6-8 Hrs Installation Tools: 30mm socket-Basic Hand Tools-drill-jack hydraulic-puller pitmanArm Rear Lift Height: 6 IN Rear Lift Method: Leaf Spring Rear Lift Option: Leaf Springs Shocks Included: Yes Ford recommends the replacement of the pitman arm nut after each time it has been removed.

If your truck is equipped with a factory rear sway bar add: BDS123808 If your truck is equipped with a 2-piece rear driveshaft a Carrier Bearing Drop Kit may be required: BDS123402. Due to the taller factory ride height Tremor models will not net the full advertised lift height. The final ride height will be the same as standard models. Larger tires on the stock wheels are not recommended due to the brake line clearance required. Use recommended specs listed in the wheel and tire fitment section. The indexing ring is only compatible with 10-speed transmission trucks. Please verify your truck's equipment before installing it. The transfer case indexing ring will not fit 6.2L vehicles equipped with the 6R100 transmission. Indexing Ring has NOT been designed to work on manual shift transfer case models. Modification of the shift cable mount will be required. Installation requires a torque wrench capable of 405 ft-lbs. Some trucks with a rear driveline vibration may have a recall from Ford regarding the rear axle. (Safety Recall 21S31) Due to the recall procedure BDS recommends having this performed prior to installing the lift. Due to factory ride heights being lower on 2020 and newer model year trucks the net lift you will gain with this kit will be 1" more than advertised. (EX. 4" kit will net 5" of lift)
