BDS Suspension has the goods to take your new EcoDiesel RAM truck to the next level. Just launched are three fresh lift kits–four-inch, six-inch, and six-inch with coilovers–all designed to fit perfectly, give you a stable ride, and add additional ground clearance for those heavy duty obstacles. Details are below.
Official Release:
BDS Suspension is excited to announce the current 4″, 6″, and 6″ performance coilover systems for late model RAM 1500 4WD trucks have been verified compatible with the 2014 RAM 1500 4WD trucks equipped with the new 3.0L EcoDiesel engine.
The benefits in power, torque and fuel economy from the new EcoDiesel are well known and BDS adds suspension options to complement the new truck with improved looks and off-road performance while clearing up to 37″ tires. An important part of BDS’s new product development is verification of FMVSS No.126 (electronic stability control system) compliance testing on new applications. BDS Suspension is proud to be one of the few companies to have tested the late model Dodge Ram kits and confirmed compliant with FMVSS No. 126 requirements.

4″ Lift Kits: Designed for the dual purpose ride, this 4″ lift kit offers impressive handling for the driver that wants both on-road drivability and off-road performance. These systems include a pair of high clearance lasercut crossmembers, heavy duty steering knuckles, new tie-rod ends, 3-point differential drop system, differential skid plate, front sway bar link extensions, and a billet aluminum driveshaft spacer. In the rear the kit uses control arm and track bar brackets, sway bar links and new shocks. Front strut spacers and rear coil spacers are used to retain the factory ride quality while offering a level stance and room for 35″ tires.
6″ Lift Kits: Stepping up to the 6″ lift kit, BDS offers kits ready to tackle any terrain you want to throw at it. These kits are designed to fit up to 37″ tires and and improve overall ride quality. The system includes a pair of high clearance crossmembers, CNC machined ductile iron steering knuckles, heavy duty tie rod ends, 3-point differential drop system, and differential skid plate to lock the rugged subframe together and offer extra offroad protection. Also included is a billet aluminum driveshaft spacer, front and rear sway bar links, stainless steel brake lines, bump stop extensions, rear control arm link relocation, rear track bar bracket, front strut/preload spacers, 3″ or 5″ rear Proride coils for your desired stance and your choice of BDS-5500 or Fox 2.0 rear shocks.
6″ Performance C/O Lift Kits: Nothing complements this BDS Suspension better than the race proven design of Fox 2.5″ remote reservoir coil-overs. These have been specifically engineered to fit the 6″ BDS system and feature an external reservoir for increased oil cooling capacity and nitrogen volume for a more consistent and comfortable ride. Other upgrades to the standard BDS 6″ lift kit include front reservoir mount and rear Fox 2.0 shocks all coming together for a suspension package that is build to perform out in the desert, the trail, and on-road. These kits are designed to fit up to 37″ tires.
