Maximize the capability of your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 4WD diesel with this BDS 6" lift kit with long arm and FOX 2.5 coil-over conversion, with clearance for up to 37" tires. Up front it includes FOX 2.5 coil-over shocks, all four control arms plus a mounting bracket, a forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, and sway bar links. The rear uses heavy duty cast steel blocks, longer u-bolts, and a matching set of FOX 2.0 Performance shocks. BDS developed a mounting system that bolts directly to the factory coil mounts with only minor trimming and drilling required.

The long arm upgrade uses massive 1/4" steel frame mounted brackets and oversized formed upper and lower arms, shaped for maximum tire clearance, with weld-in axle reinforcements. The lower arms reduce caster change through wheel travel for a more controlled feel, and use oversized greaseable polyurethane bushings for road vibration isolation while retaining the factory triangulation.
