Up front the lift kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy duty replacement radius arms, high strength 1-3/8 inch solid steel track bar for steering correction, sway bar links, brake line brackets and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks.

In the rear this kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer u-bolts 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, diesel-specific, progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains.

HD Adjustable Track Bar

Maintain proper handling and steering geometry with the BDS high strength adjustable track bar that allows you to recenter the front axle at a variety of lift heights. Built from 1-3/8" solid steel stock, the track bar comes pre-assembled with bushings and is ready to bolt into the factory mounting points.
