Up front the lift kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, radius arms drop brackets, forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, bump stops, brake line brackets and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks.

In the rear this kit utilizes a high-strength fabricated lift block, longer u-bolts and a matching set of NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks.

Pro-Ride Coil Springs

A pair of full-length, diesel-specific, progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains.

Steering Correction

To optimize steering geometry once lifted, a forged drop pitman arm is used to minimize the steering angle and pair it with a heavy duty track bar drop bracket to keep them in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.
