The Story
If you're looking for a suspension upgrade for your 2013-18 Ram 3500, BDS Suspension has built many suspension systems that not only to give you additional lift but also additional performance. These kits have been engineered for improved on-road comfort and offroad capability. Kits include either high strength tubular 4-link long arms or fabricated radius arms, front and rear progressive rate coil springs, your choice of shocks, and steering correction, allowing clearance for up to 37" tires. As with all BDS Suspension systems, they are all backed by Factory Protection Plus for peace of mind wherever you choose to explore.
Up front these systems use a pair of diesel specific progressive rate 4" coil springs to provide the extra height and smooth controlled performance in the harshest of terrains. A forged drop pitman arm is supplied to correct steering angles along with a HD bar drop bracket to re-center the front axle. A pair of sway bar drop brackets reposition the OE sway bar for optimal performance along with extended polyurethane bump stops to limit up travel and brake line brackets to allow full droop. To correct the front suspension geometry at the new height the factory stamped steel radius arms are converted over to 4-link using a pair of 1/4" steel brackets and high strength upper and lower control arms designed to limit caster control throughout suspension travel for more predictable handling characteristics. Also supplied are your choice of BDS NX2 gas shocks or FOX 2.0 performance series IFP gas shocks for improved ride and performance.
At 4" of lift it is critical to correct the front driveline angle to maintain use of the 4WD. To do this BDS Suspension provides a heavy duty replacement transmission crossmember as well as a transfer case indexing ring to reposition the front driveline output to allow use of the factory drivelines. BDS offers these indexing rings for both the 6-bolt and 8-bolt equipped trucks. In the rear of the RAM 3500 kits a 2" block and u-bolt kit is now offered in addition to the existing 3" rear block for a more level stance while maintaining tow capacity. Finishing out the rear are a matching set of BDS NX2 gas shocks or FOX 2.0 performance series IFP gas shocks.
Shocks
Choose between custom valved BDS NX2 series or Fox 2.0 series gas charged monotube shocks to outfit the front and rear of your Ram.
Fox 2.0 Series - Fox 2.0 performance series shocks have been tuned and tested by both Fox and BDS Suspension to maximize performance specific to each application and to every BDS Suspension system. The basic shock design is based on proven Fox Racing Shox race products, but re-designed to maximize the ride quality, handling, and control of your BDS equipped truck or jeep, whether on or off the road.
