2013 Dodge Ram 1500 4wd

Coldwater, MI—January 8, 2013—BDS Suspension has revamped its Ram 1500 4wd lift kits to fit the new 2013 electronic steering rack equipped trucks.

Both the 4″ and 6″ lift kits feature a pair of one-piece, 1/4″ steel, laser cut high-clearance crossmembers and heavy duty differential skid plate creating a solid subframe for improved ground clearance. The new extended steering knuckles feature repositioned steering mounts for optimal steering angles and improving ball joint operating angles. Combined with BDS’s new tie rod ends, the new knuckles integrate with the factory electronic stability control parameters for OE handling characteristics.

The systems also feature pair of strut spacers used to retain factory ride quality. The front of this system includes sway bar link extensions, 3-point differential drop brackets, billet aluminum driveshaft spacer, and stainless steel brake lines.

Due to the OE ride height variances, BDS offers three rear lift options to get your desired stance: 2″ coil spacers, 3″ Pro-Ride coil springs, or 5″ Pro-Ride coil springs. Also included in the rear, the BDS kits utilize a track bar bracket, upper link relocation brackets, and extended sway bar links, brake line brackets and your choice of BDS-5500 shocks or Fox 2.0 performance series shocks. The 4″ lift kit will clear up to 35″ tires while the 6″ kit clears 37″.

These kits will not fit adjustable rear air suspension equipped models. For more info on these lift kits and to find the distributor nearest you, check out BDS Suspension or call (517) 279-2135.
