Configured with Rubber Bump Stops — factory-style hard stops that protect shocks and suspension components at the end of travel. Well-suited for street use and light off-roading where bump stops are engaged at low speeds.
Overview
The BDS 4-Inch 4-Link Lift Kit for 2014–2018 Ram 2500 4WD Diesel trucks replaces the factory suspension with heavy-duty components designed for increased articulation, strength, and off-road capability. The kit centers on a coilover conversion up front, utilizing FOX 2.5 Performance Elite coilovers mounted in the factory coil spring bucket for improved damping and ride control. Heavy-duty BDS 4-Link radius arms correct caster geometry and maximize ground clearance, while FOX Performance Elite rear shocks manage the rear suspension. A front adjustable track bar and sway bar correction are included to maintain proper alignment and handling after lifting.
