Take your 2014-2018 RAM 2500 gas powered truck to the next level with a 5.5-inch lift kit with radius arm by BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance performance and capability this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 37" tires. Up front the lift kit includes gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs heavy-duty replacement radius arms forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction bump stops brake line brackets and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 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 progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs track bar relocation bracket to correct axle positioning bump stop extensions sway bar links and a matching set of NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks. 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. Pro-Ride Coil Springs A pair of full-length gas-specific progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth predictable ride across various terrains. Manufactured from high tensile steel our direct OE replacement coil springs are engineered with properly sized wire diameter. This results in maximum reliability without premature coil bind. Steering Correction To optimize steering geometry once lifted a forged drop pitman arm is used to minimize the steering angle and pair it with a heavy duty track bar drop bracket to keep them in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.
