Top Notch Suspension Upgrade
It was definitely a bit pricey compared to some other 2inch leveling kits but damn does the truck drive so much better. Also, I think there is a weight savings as well b/c I have noticeable more pickup! Get it! Super happy!

Excellent End Results
Truck looks great and rides great! 3 stars as tthis kit says no modifications necessary straight bolt on. It definitely requires some cutting and welding and it should recommend you will need an adjustable front trac bar as with the stock one your axle will still stick out 1.5” to one side. This was installed by a professional shop as well not by joe shmoe in the driveway.

After talking to several people trying to figure out the right height, I decided to with everyone’s suggestions and get 4” lift. Now what brand, there’s hundreds of good lifts out there but I didn’t have a lot of money to spend so I wanted the best bang for my buck and I think I found that in the BDS 4” Radius Arm Suspension Kit. The lift was easy to install, looks good and rode ok, I opted to upgrade the shocks to Fox and she rides even better. I’m running 20” wheels with 37” Nittos and didn’t have to make a single mod for clearance. It’s perfect.

Nice kit!
Installed on my Ram 2500 tonight. It wasn’t too bad, but it would be a lot easier with a 2nd set of hands to help. It took me about 5 hours start to finish. My old shocks were seized and had to be cut. The truck looks good and rides great. I’m glad I didn’t upgrade the shocks yet, the NX2’s feel nice.
