Elevate your driving experience with the BDS SUSPENSION BDS1617FS 6" Lift Kit, specifically engineered for the 2014-2018 RAM 2500 and 2013-2018 RAM 3500 with a 6.7L diesel engine. This comprehensive lift kit enhances the stance, performance, and off-road capability of your truck, allowing for the installation of larger 37" tires.

At the forefront of this lift kit are the diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, providing a perfect 6-inch lift while ensuring a smooth and predictable ride across diverse terrains. Designed with heavy-duty radius arm drop brackets, the kit maintains proper suspension geometry and optimizes steering angles through a forged drop pitman arm and track bar relocation bracket.

The rear lift option features high-strength leaf springs that level the stance of your truck, reducing axle wrap and guaranteeing a more controlled ride without the need for lift blocks. This multi-leaf progressive design upholds factory payload ratings, making it ideal for everyday use and heavy-duty hauling.

Included with the lift kit are high-performance shock options: choose between the BDS NX2 Nitro shocks or the FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks. Both shock options deliver enhanced ride quality, low-speed compression, and off-road capabilities, thanks to their advanced design and application-specific valving.

Additional features include front sway bar correction, a heavy-duty transmission crossmember, and an indexing ring that ensures your factory driveshaft fits seamlessly. This kit is moderately challenging to install, typically requiring 6-8 hours, while some specialized tools may be necessary for a complete setup.

With the BDS Suspension 6" Lift Kit, your RAM not only gains eye-catching height but also maximizes its off-road potential, ensuring you're ready for any adventure.
