Product Description
More Information

The BDS 2149PPS / 2149PES 3-Inch Radius Arm Coilover Lift Kit for diesel-powered Ram 3500 trucks combines heavy-duty BDS suspension components with premium FOX 2.5 Performance Elite coilovers for improved ride quality, handling, and off-road performance. Designed specifically for the weight and suspension characteristics of the diesel Ram 3500, this system provides 3 inches of front lift, clearance for up to 35-inch tires, and a more aggressive stance while maintaining excellent everyday drivability.

Up front, the factory coil springs and shocks are replaced by FOX 2.5 Performance Elite remote reservoir coilovers. This coilover conversion provides premium suspension control with increased oil capacity and improved heat dissipation for consistent performance during demanding on-road and off-road use. The Performance Elite coilovers also feature DSC (Dual Speed Compression) adjustment, allowing independent adjustment of high-speed and low-speed compression damping to fine-tune the suspension for changing terrain, vehicle load, and driving conditions.

The system also includes heavy-duty BDS tubular radius arms engineered to improve strength while maintaining proper caster and suspension geometry at the increased ride height. A forged adjustable front track bar allows precise axle centering, while sway bar correction and brake line relocation components help maintain proper suspension operation throughout the available travel.

In the rear, the BDS system uses a fabricated lift block and longer U-bolts to achieve the proper stance while retaining the factory leaf springs. Rear configurations are available for trucks equipped with factory overload leaf springs or OEM rear air-assist suspension, allowing the system to accommodate different Ram 3500 configurations.

The suspension can also be configured with either factory-style rubber bump stops or FOX 2.0 Factory Race Series hydraulic bump stops for increased bottom-out control during aggressive off-road use. Rear shock options include FOX 2.5 HTO shocks or premium FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks, allowing you to match the rear suspension performance to how you use your truck.

Built around BDS Suspension's commitment to strength, durability, and properly engineered suspension geometry, the 2149 delivers a significant upgrade in ride control and capability. From daily driving and towing to overlanding and demanding off-road terrain, this 3-inch coilover system provides the performance and refinement expected from a premium BDS suspension system.
