BDS Suspension BDS2135PPS / 2135PES 6" Radius Arm Lift Kit upgrades suspension performance, ride quality, and off-road capability on Ram 2500 diesel trucks with a complete extended travel system engineered for strength and drivability. Designed specifically for the diesel platform, this kit provides clearance for up to 37" tires while maintaining proper suspension geometry, corrected driveline angles, and confident on-road handling.
At the core of this system are heavy-duty tubular radius arms that properly position the front axle and restore caster geometry lost when lifting, improving steering stability, braking control, and overall ride quality. A transfer case indexing ring is included to optimize driveline angles and increase suspension droop, while a track bar relocation bracket ensures proper axle centering and steering alignment. Additional components, including sway bar links and brake line brackets, maintain proper operating angles throughout the suspension's travel.
FOX 2.5 Performance Elite front coilovers enhance damping control and ride quality, and can be paired with either rubber bump stops for predictable engagement or FOX 2.0 hydraulic bump stops for high-speed impact absorption and aggressive off-road performance. Coilover systems paired with FOX 2.0 hydraulic bump stops are configured exclusively with FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks for maximum capability and control.
Shock options allow further customization of ride quality and performance. FOX 2.5 Performance Series HTO shocks add increased oil capacity and position-sensitive rebound control, while FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks with DSC adjusters deliver top-tier performance with independent high- and low-speed compression tuning for maximum versatility on any terrain.

Important Notes
Fits Diesel models only
Special literature required: OE Service Manual for the model/year of vehicle. Refer to the manual for proper disassembly/reassembly procedures of OE and related components.
Adhere to recommendations when replacement fasteners, retainers, and keepers are called out in the OE manual.
Larger rim-and-tire combinations may increase leverage on the suspension, steering, and related components. When selecting combinations larger than OE, consider the additional stress you could be inducing on the OE and related components.
Post-suspension-system vehicles may experience drivetrain vibrations. Angles may require tuning; the slider on the shaft may require replacement; the shafts may need to be lengthened or trued; and the U-joints may need to be replaced.
Secure and properly block the vehicle before installing the BDS Suspension components. Always wear safety glasses when using power tools.
If installation is to be performed without a hoist, BDS Suspension Co. recommends rear alterations first.
Due to payload options and initial ride height variances, the amount of lift is a base figure. Final ride height dimensions may vary in accordance to original vehicle attitude. Always measure the attitude prior to beginning installation.
If selecting the Coil-Over option, welding equipment is required for the Coil-Over conversion.
