Built to outperform, take your Ford 1980-1983 F100 and 1980-1996 F150 4WD truck to the next level with a 6-inch suspension lift kit with extended radius arms by BDS. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 35" tires.

Up front the lift kit includes Pro-Ride coil springs, axle pivot relocation brackets, extended radius arms, radius arm drop mounts, forged pitman arm for steering correction and precision tuned NX2 nitrogen charged shocks.

In the rear the base kit utilizes a high-strength lift block, longer u-bolts and a matching set of NX2 Nitro shocks.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

A pair of full-length, vehicle-specific, Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains.

Extended Radius Arms

In place of the factory stamped steel radius arms BDS supplies a pair of high-strength tubular radius arms. The extended radius arm system will reduce caster change through wheel travel creating a more capable and controlled feeling in the steering wheel both on and off road.
