4" 2013-2018 Dodge Ram 3500 4WD (w/gas engine) 4-Link Lift Kit by BDS Suspension

This BDS Suspension BDS1613H / BDS1613FS 4-inch 4-link lift kit for the 2013 through 2018 Ram 3500 replaces the factory radius arm setup for a 4-link system. The design starts with two massive frame brackets that provide the mounting points for the new upper and lower control arms. These brackets are located off the factory radius arm brackets; no factory bracket removal is required.

The new 4-Link brackets mount similarly to the current radius arm relocation brackets, wrapping the frame and nesting in the factory radius arm mounts. As with our radius arm brackets, a minor amount of welding is required to install the threaded frame insert (1 per side). This insert is necessary to provide the strongest possible mount. The new control arm positions at the frame create better suspension geometry and reduce caster change through wheel travel compared to the radius arm setup. This creates better handling and more controlled steering "feel", especially in rough terrain when the suspension can travel and articulate. The large diameter, heavy-wall tubular control arms are formed for tire clearance when turning and position the axle slightly forward from stock to create more clearance to the rear portion of the front fenders.

Also included are new front coil springs that are progressive rate to provide excellent on-road ride and off-road performance. Track bar relocation, a dropped pitman arm, and brake line relocation round out the front portion of the system.

The rear is lifted with axle blocks and extended U-bolts.

Choose from Fox 2.0 Performance IFP Shocks (2-inch diameter aluminum body monotube gas), BDS NX2 Shocks (Nitro Gas), or Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Adjustable Shocks (2.5-inch diameter aluminum body with ride adjustment knobs), which are included for the front and rear.
