Description

This configuration pairs Leaf Springs in the rear with the 6-Bolt indexing ring kit (standard fitment) and FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks. FOX 2.0 shocks feature a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, a massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, race-developed high-flow piston design, and application-specific valving with a clear anodized finish.



Overview

This 6-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2013–2018 RAM 3500 diesel-powered 4WD trucks, providing improved stance, performance, and capability with clearance for up to 37-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, radius arm drop brackets, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, and brake line brackets. In the rear, the kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block (or replacement leaf springs, depending on configuration), longer U-bolts, and a matched set of precision-tuned shocks.

Features

  • Heavy duty radius arm drop brackets maintain proper suspension geometry
  • Diesel-specific, full-length progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs for correct lift height and smooth ride across various terrains
  • Front track bar relocation bracket to re-center the front 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
  • Rear high-strength fabricated lift block, longer U-bolts (block kit configurations)
  • NX2 Nitro Series or FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks (see variant descriptions for details)

Specifications

  • Lift height: 6 inches
  • Tire clearance: up to 37 inches
  • Rear block options: 4-inch block (tail-low to level stance) or 5-inch block (level to tail-high appearance)
  • Rear blocks: cast iron construction for high strength
  • Rear blocks designed to provide correct pinion angles, reduce axle wrap, and maintain factory payload weight ratings
  • Rear leaf spring multi-leaf progressive design for smooth ride (leaf spring configurations)
  • Transfer case indexing ring: 6-bolt (standard) or 8-bolt (Aisin transmission fitment)
  • 8-bolt kit includes internal shaft seal extension and new shaft seal

Installation

  • Estimated Time: 6–8 hours
  • Difficulty: Moderate
  • Tools Required: Step Drill Bit, Drill / Bit Set, Pitman Arm Puller, Welding Equipment

Important Notes

The carrier bearing drop is necessary for models equipped with the two-piece rear drive shaft. Dually with 8-bolt Transmission (Aisin), require BDS122409 Def Relocation Kit. Mega Cabs with 8-bolt Transmission (Aisin), require BDS122409 Def Relocation Kit. Vehicles equipped with a Manual T-case requires BDS122423 Manual transfer case shifter extension. Vehicles equipped with a 2-piece rear drive shaft (carrier bearing), require BDS122406 Carrier bearing drop. Some vehicles may require a rear driveshaft spacer kit 122007 to maintain adequate rear driveshaft engagement.
