Description
Description: Through a collaborative effort between BDS Suspension and Fox Racing, BDS now offers this 4-6" Dodge 1500 4WD suspension system featuring Fox 2.5" coil-over remote reservoir shocks. This system has been rigorously tested to maximize travel and performance on and off the pavement.
Dodge put a new front differential assembly in the 2012 models. This housing has all new mounting points that differ from the previous model years so BDS has developed a complete new 6" lift system specifically for your 2012 Dodge 1500 truck.
This 6" lift kit is based around two one-piece, 1/4" laser cut high clearance crossmembers and replacement steering knuckles. The high clearance crossmembers increase ground clearance for off road performance on on road appeal.
The replacement steering knuckles reduce installation time as well as maintain proper steering angles and ball joint angles. A differential skid plate is included for off road protection.
The system also includes bump stop drops, anti-sway bar links, 3 point differential drop system, strut relocation brackets, and front stainless steel brake lines.
Nothing complements this BDS Suspension better than the race proven design of Fox 2.5" remote reservoir coil-over front shocks. These have been specifically engineered to fit the BDS Suspension system and feature an external reservoir for increased oil cooling capacity and nitrogen volume for a more consistent and comfortable ride. These have also been pre-set by BDS to 6" of lift for an easy installation, but can be adjusted down to 4" or fined tuned anywhere in between to your liking.
BDS allows you to customize your desired stance by offering 2" rear coil spacers and 3" or 5" Pro-Ride coils that are capable of being smashed totally flat and will come back to normal ride height. The rear for this Dodge Ram lift kit is completed with a track bar bracket, upper link relocation brackets, and sway bar links.
BDS by Fox 2.0 series rear gas shocks come standard to match the front 2.5" Fox Coil-overs.
Important Kit Notes
- 1. These trucks vary from 1"-3" tail high from the factory. Be sure to measure your vehicle before ordering. The
- 022209, 022309, and 022509 can all be substituted to achieve the desired stance.
- 2. Rack & Pinion steering system is extremely sensitive to any out of round or out of balance tire/wheel combination.
- The larger the tire the less the backspacing, the more sensitive the system, causing minor steering wheel shimmy.
- 3. Not recommended for AWD models.
- 4. Stock 17" and 18" wheels can not be re-installed. Stock 20" can be reinstalled with factory tire.
- 5. TRX models will achieve approximately 1" of additional lift. This lift is not recommended for use on the TRX
- models due to possible CV shaft vibration caused by the additional lift. Instead, consider our 4" lift system
- for 5" of lift or replace the TRX struts with standard struts for use with this system.
- 6. Will not fit adjustable air suspension equipped models.
