Configured with Rubber Bump Stops — factory-style hard stops that protect shocks and suspension components. Ideal for road use and light off-roading where bump stops are engaged at low speeds.
Overview
The BDS 6" Radius Arm Lift Kit for RAM 2500 trucks replaces the stock suspension setup with heavy-duty components built for demanding trail use and everyday performance. Heavy-duty BDS radius arms improve articulation and rugged strength up front, while the BDS Coilover Conversion Kit pairs with FOX 2.5 Performance Elite coilovers for precise damping and improved ride quality on and off the road. FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks in the rear maintain control across varied terrain. An optional FOX 2.0 hydraulic bump stop upgrade is available for the front to manage big impacts at speed.
