Description
Rear shocks configured with FOX 2.5 Performance Series HTO shocks. These 2.5-inch impact extruded aluminum body shocks feature a 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft and Hydraulic Top Out (HTO) technology, providing position-sensitive rebound damping control both on and off pavement. Fully serviceable with a 1-year Manufacturer's Warranty.
Overview
The BDS 4-inch 4-Link Lift Kit is engineered for the 2020–2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty 4WD, delivering improved strength, stability, and ride quality whether towing, hauling, or exploring off-road. This system replaces the factory radius arms with a heavy-duty 4-link setup that improves axle control, reduces binding, and delivers smoother suspension movement throughout the entire range of travel. The 4-link design provides more consistent caster angles, enhanced articulation, and improved tracking under acceleration and braking — particularly beneficial on larger Super Duty platforms like the F-450. Front FOX 2.5 Performance Elite coilovers are included for exceptional responsiveness, control, and damping consistency. Steering geometry is corrected via a forged drop pitman arm and a heavy-duty track bar drop bracket to keep components in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.
