About this product
BDS 6" suspension lift for the 2013-2021 Ram 1500 with clearance for up to 37" tires. The high-clearance design corrects suspension and steering geometry while improving ground clearance and offroad protection. Up front it uses top mounted strut spacers, 1/4" thick high-arched steel crossmembers, multipiece differential relocation brackets, heavy duty skid plates, and CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles with replacement tie rod ends for ESC compatibility. In the rear it uses progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs, upper control arm relocation brackets, a track bar relocation bracket, bump stop extensions, and sway bar links, finished with NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks.

Notes
- The rack and pinion steering system is sensitive to an out-of-round or out-of-balance tire/wheel combination. Increasing tire diameter and/or decreasing wheel backspacing can cause minor steering wheel shimmy.

- Stock 17 inch and 18 inch wheels cannot be re-installed. Stock 20 inch can be reinstalled with a factory tire.
- Will not fit adjustable air suspension equipped models.
- This kit will bolt on Eco-Diesel models but will require an aftermarket front drive shaft.
- TRX models will achieve approximately 1 inch of additional lift. This lift is not recommended for TRX models due to possible CV shaft vibration; instead consider the 4 inch lift system for about 5 inch of lift, or replace the TRX struts with standard struts.
- This kit is FMVSS No.126 compliant.
