Take your Ford F250 or F350 Super Duty diesel truck to new heights with the BDS2252H / 2252FS / 2252FPE / 2252FPS 7-inch 4-Link Lift Kit, engineered for unmatched performance, stance, and capability. Designed to clear up to 38-inch tires, this system includes everything needed to upgrade your truck for both on-road handling and off-road control.
The front suspension features diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs for a smooth and predictable ride, paired with a heavy-duty 4-Link conversion that replaces the factory stamped radius arms for improved geometry, stability, and strength. Steering correction is handled with a forged drop pitman arm and track bar relocation bracket, while sway bar relocation and brake line brackets ensure proper suspension function. At this lift height, a precision-built transfer case indexing ring with ARP studs and a high-clearance transmission crossmember are included to maintain proper driveline angles with the factory driveshaft.
In the rear, the kit includes a high-strength fabricated lift block, extended u-bolts, and brake line brackets. With race-proven engineering and heavy-duty components, this 7-inch BDS system delivers a commanding stance, increased ground clearance, and the durability required to tackle the toughest terrain.

| Important NotesFord recommends the pitman arm nut is replaced prior to pitman arm installation.
If installed on a truck with a top-mounted overload spring, with an overload spacer block taller than 1-1/8" UBT4027 (Qty: 4) is required.
Use a small pitman arm puller to remove the drag link joint and steering stabilizer taper.
If your truck is equipped with a 2-piece rear driveshaft, a Carrier Bearing Drop Kit may be required: BDS123402.
Due to the taller factory ride height, Tremor models will not net the full advertised lift height. The final ride height will be the same as standard models.
Larger tires on the stock wheel are not recommended due to the brake line clearance required. Use the recommended specs listed in the wheel and tire fitment section.
Minor trimming may be necessary for clearance of 37x12.50 tires on certain wheel setups.
Installation requires a torque wrench capable of 405 ft-lbs.
Some trucks with a rear driveline vibration may have a recall from Ford regarding the rear axle. (Safety Recall 21S31) Due to the recall procedure, BDS recommends having this performed prior to installing the lift.

Recalibration of your vehicles Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) cameras, radars, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and other sensors may be necessary by your local dealership or ADAS service center. This will ensure proper functionality of the vehicle features such as lane keeping, lane departure, parking assistance, blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control systems, and other functions as they did prior to installation. Please connect with your local dealership or ADAS service center. Similar to a wheel alignment, all charges and expenses that may occur from dealership calibrations and adjustments are the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner.
