5.5 Inch Lift Kit w/ 4-Link | Ram 3500 (2019-2024) 4WD Gas | With Factory Rear Overload Leaf | NX2 Nitro Series | BDS Suspension

Configured for trucks with factory rear overload leaf springs. Includes NX2 Nitro Series shocks featuring a nitrogen-charged twin-tube design, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston, dual-welded ends for increased strength, self-lubricating seals, and a silver powder coat finish.

Overview

This 5.5-inch lift kit with 4-Link conversion from BDS Suspension is designed for 2019–2024 Ram 3500 4WD gas-powered trucks. The kit improves stance, performance, and capability while providing clearance for up to 37-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, 4-Link control arms and conversion brackets, a forged drop pitman arm, track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, brake line brackets, and precision-tuned nitrogen charged shocks. A transfer case indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are supplied to allow use of the factory front driveshaft at this lift height. In the rear, the kit utilizes a high-strength steel lift block, longer u-bolts, and a matching set of shocks.

4-Link Conversion

The BDS 4-Link conversion replaces the factory stamped steel radius arms to optimize suspension geometry for better handling characteristics while adding strength and stability. This bolt-on upgrade uses high-strength 1/4-inch steel brackets to mount HD upper and lower control arms, correcting axle positioning and limiting caster change throughout wheel travel.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

A pair of full-length, gas-specific, progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains.

Steering Correction

A forged drop pitman arm minimizes steering angle once lifted, paired with a heavy-duty track bar drop bracket to keep steering geometry in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.

Features

• Heavy-duty 4-Link improves strength, handling, and caster control
• Front high-strength progressive rate coil springs for improved ride on any terrain
• Front track bar relocation bracket to re-position axle
• Forged drop pitman arm to correct steering angles
• Front sway bar correction to maintain handling performance
• HD transmission crossmember and transfer case indexing ring to correct front driveline angles and allow use of factory driveshafts
• NX2 Nitro Series gas or FOX Performance Series IFP gas shocks for improved ride and off-road performance

Installation

• Estimated Time: 8 hours
• Difficulty: Moderate
• Tools Required: Cut Off Wheel or equivalent, Step Drill Bit, Drill/Bit Set, Pitman Arm Puller, Welding Equipment

Important Notes

Exhaust modification is required to clear the front driveshaft. The vehicle can be driven without a front driveshaft to an exhaust shop. A DEF tank relocation bracket (part# 122409) is required for this kit to work with Dually or Mega Cab Models with Aisin Transmissions (8-bolt). If equipped with a manual T-case, BDS122422 is required.
