Description
Suspension is rarely over-looked but the difference in quality from stock to custom is one of the best upgrades you can give your truck. 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 Heavy Duty 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. And 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 1 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 Series, or FOX 2.5 Elite Performance shocks; this system is ready to handle any terrain. 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 ensure the correct alignment and keep vibrations to a minimum. RECOIL TRACTION BAR OPTION: Proper axle alignment can be a problem when you're taking your Ram into some tough situations. Add on a Recoil Traction Bar kit to add support and stability. Additionally, traction bars allow your tires to stay on the road or trail so you can lessen wheel hop in high-stress situations. FRONT SWAY BAR DISCONNECT KIT OPTION: Get 30% more axle articulation with this sway bar disconnect kit. If you're REALLY going off-road and need to keep those front tires planted, get this installed today. IMPORTANT NOTES: Some trucks are equipped with rear dual overload springs. Add 4068 U-Bolts to retain top overload leafs. Not for use with factory rear airbag suspensions.

About BDS Suspension

BDS Suspension was started in 1996 by a business group who felt it was past time to create a suspension company that truly had the best interest of the off road consumer as its' foundation. With over 45 combined years experience with other major suspension companies, both buying and selling, the individuals that would make up the BDS name were frustrated by the lack of quality and the unwillingness to make things right by these 4x4 companies. So, they set out to create a suspension company that would be the best and made a list of the things they felt were not right and made it their mission to correct them.

One of the most important of these wrongs they were looking to right were that of other companies warranties. Too often, the standard protocol was that a broken or damaged part from another manufacturer was denied warranty because of abuse or neglect. For BDS, its simple, if it breaks, they'll replace it, and that is the motto in which they have based their entire warranty off of. So, they welcome you, try and break it, if you do, they'll replace it and probably try to determine a way to increase the rigidity of the product to ensure it never happens again.

BDS LIFT KITS

While most people whom have heard of BDS Suspension automatically think of "lift kits," that ony touches on the wide variety of suspension and steering related products that BDS offers. BDS understands that not everyone is after a complete lift kit, but still after the quality BDS products bring to the table. Some of our most popular products from BDS are replacement adjustable track bars and dual steering stabilizer kits that in many instances can be installed on a completely stock truck, or one that's leveled or lifted. Other popular "non lift kit" parts are leveling kits that include upgraded shocks, progressive rate coil springs, heavy duty control or radius arms, and even leaf springs.
