Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 40 inch Tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp front the lift kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, 4-Link control arms with conversion mounts, 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. At this height, the transfer case needs to be indexed to allow use of the factory front driveshaft so an indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the rear, careful consideration was taken to design the system for load carrying capacity, handling, and ride quality. To do this, BDS engineered new coil bucket seats to mount them outboard the frame rail similar to a leaf spring style truck. The new upper and lower coil seats require only minor drilling for mounting hardware. The new position allows for a much shorter and more stable coil spring design. This virtually eliminates any chance of coil bowing and ensures the coils react predictably throughout the full range of travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the coil springs\/mounts, a new track bar relocation system is included to properly set the rear roll-center height and center the axle under the vehicle.

This bolt-on upgrade utilizes high-strength 1\/4-inch steel brackets that allow mounting of HD upper and lower control arms to correct axle positioning while limiting caster change throughout wheel travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePro-Ride Coil Springs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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. Manufactured from high tensile steel, our direct OE replacement coil springs are engineered with properly sized wire diameter.
