About this product
BDS steps up the 2013-2018 RAM 1500 with factory rear air ride using this 4" suspension lift kit, clearing up to 35" tires. Up front it uses top mounted strut spacers, high-arched 1/4" steel crossmembers, differential relocation brackets and heavy duty skid plates, plus CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles and replacement tie rod ends for ESC compatibility. The rear runs top mounted air bag spacers, upper control arm relocation brackets, a track bar relocation bracket, bump stop extensions and sway bar links, with new air lines, fittings and ride height sensor brackets to keep the factory air ride working at the new height.

Notes
- Due to the complexity of the Ram factory air ride system, BDS highly recommends an experienced suspension specialist for installation.
- The rack and pinion steering is extremely sensitive to an out-of-round or out-of-balance tire/wheel combination. Larger tire diameter and/or less wheel backspacing increases sensitivity and can cause minor steering wheel shimmy.
- Fits factory air ride-equipped trucks only.
- The factory air ride is a closed-loop system. Opening it more times than recommended in the instructions or factory service manual will require the system to be recharged at a Ram dealer service department.
- Stock 20" wheels can be reinstalled with factory-sized tires only. Stock 17" and 18" wheels will not fit.
- This kit will bolt on Eco-Diesel models but requires an aftermarket front drive shaft.
