Pro-Ride Coil Springs
A pair of full-length, diesel-specific, Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains.
HD Adjustable Track Bar
Maintain proper handling and steering geometry with the BDS high strength adjustable track bar that allows you to recenter the front axle at a variety of lift heights.
