Quick Ship SKU #: BDS-1624-main BDS Suspension 3" Radius Arm Suspension System 14-18 Ram 6.7L Cummins 2500

More lift on your Ram means better ground clearance, better visibility, and enhanced performance. More than anything, more lift means more options whether it's a bigger set of tires or more off-road selections. If you're looking for a suspension upgrade for your Ram, this system from BDS Suspension is built not only to give you additional lift but also additional performance. This BDS 3" Radius Arm Suspension Kit for your Ram is designed and built around a massive tubular radius arm replacement. These arms are built to handle far more than the factory parts they are replacing. Designed with a factory style rubber bushing mount at the frame to keep the NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) levels in check, you'll immediately notice a difference from your stock parts. The massive 3-1/4" diameter bushings have a maintenance-free service life. For easier installation, the radius arms have been designed to mount right into the factory locations. Alignment cam locks are included that allow for caster adjust-ability, something your factory arms do not provide. In addition to adding 3" of lift the radius arms are geometrically set to keep the axle angle in factory specs.

If massive, quality made radius arms are not enough, this system also features dual-rate front coil springs that improve the ride and handling of your 3/4 ton truck both on and off the road. BDS' popular heavy-duty turnbuckle style adjustable track bar is included to center the axle. BDS' greaseable front sway bar links are used to reset the sway bar to the optimum angle and round out the main front components. Add in the front brake line relocation brackets and a choice of BDS NX2-series, FOX 2.0 Performance, or the Elite FOX 2.5 Performance Series shocks and this system is set to handle any terrain.

The rear system utilizes 1.25" fabricated steel coil spring spacers to level out the stance. A new raised track bar bracket centers up the axle while bump stop extensions and greaseable extended sway bar links (same design as the fronts) round out the rear components.

Shock Options:

• NX2 Series Shocks - BDS NX2 series gas shocks offer impressive performance on and offroad. They use a nitrogen-charged, twin-tube design with 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving for lightning fast dampening and superior control.
• FOX 2.0 Series Shocks - Fox 2.0 performance series shocks have been tuned and tested by both FOX and BDS Suspension to maximize performance specific to each application and to every BDS Suspension system. The basic shock design is based on proven Fox Racing Shocks race products but re-designed to maximize the ride quality, handling, and control of your BDS equipped truck, whether on or off the road.
• FOX 2.5 Performance Elite - For next-level performance, FOX has developed the 2.5 Performance Elite Series. These shocks are ready straight out of the box as they are tuned specifically for the BDS suspension systems. These 2.5" diameter shocks are ready to run through a wall for you with race-proven technology. Equipped with a remote reservoir for additional fluid capacity, it keeps heat down through the system. DSC Adjuster is controlled with a twist of either two knobs giving you 10 low-speed and 12 high-speed compression levels so you can be ready every time.

Steering Stabilizer Options:

• Single NX2 Nitro Series: NX2 Series of Shocks are built to take on any challenge but not empty your wallet. Durable and built with BDS suspension kits in mind, the large fluon banded piston is adaptable for any terrain and tough enough for any challenge.
  
• Single FOX 2.0 IFP Performance Series: The FOX 2.0 IPF Performance Series Steering Stabilizer is made from the same base components as the 2.0 performance series shocks and properly valved and pressurized to be the ultimate stabilizer. Internal IFP mono-tube reservoir gives superior handling on top of increased durability.
• Dual NX2 Nitro Series: Is one not enough? Then upgrade to a dual steering stabilizer setup which gives further enhanced vehicle control and lessens side-to-side motion to a greater effect. Heavy off-roading requires a heavy suspension that can handle it but can still be smooth on asphalt.
  
• Dual FOX 2.0 Performance Series: Taking things even further is the dual FOX 2.0 setup. Built to last from the top up this performance setup will enhance control, reduce shimmy and bump steer, improve tire wear and front-end component life. Protect your investment and smooth out your rough spots before they leave you figuratively hanging.
  

Carrier Bearing Drop Kit Option:

A Carrier Bearing Drop Kit will be needed if you have a 2-Piece Rear Driveshaft to insure the correct aligment and keep vibrations to a minimum.

Rear Track Bar Upgrade

Upgrade your system with a BDS heavy duty adjustable rear track bar to allow quick and precise tuning ability for re-centering the rear axle. In addition to the improvements in strength and adjustablility compared to the stock track bar, it also provides better control of the rear axle by replacing the soft factory rubber bushings with high durometer polyurethane at the frame and a forged COM bearing joint at the axle. Both ends are rebuildable and the poly bushings are greaseable. Can be used with or without track bar relocation when needed for heights of 0-8".

Technical Features:

• Steel tube construction, 1-3/4" x 1/4" wall DOM
• Fully welded, greaseable frame mount end uses high-durometer polyurethane bushings
• Frame bushing sleeve is knurled to bite into the mount, creating a non-slip connection
• Steel forged adjustable end threads into precision machined, fully welded thread insert
• Forged end has fine 1" thread for fine-tune adjustment and strength
• High load capacity COM bearing insert has an injection molded race for long life and quite operation
• COM bearing inserts are precision machined for exact fit and mimic the stock bushing width for use in the factory mount as well as any relocation brackets designed for a stock bar
