BDS 4-Inch 4-Link Lift Kit | FOX 2.5 Performance Elite | Ram 3500 4WD Gas 2019-2026 | With Factory Rear Overload Leaf

BDS 4-Inch 4-Link Lift Kit | FOX 2.5 Performance Elite | Ram 3500 4WD Gas 2019–2026 | With Factory Rear Overload Leaf | SKU: 1677FPE

The BDS 4-Inch 4-Link Lift Kit is a complete front lift system for 2019–2026 Ram 3500 4WD gas models with factory rear overload leaf springs, paired with FOX 2.5 Performance Elite external reservoir shocks. The 4-link front suspension conversion corrects geometry, eliminates radius arm bind, and improves articulation at 4-inch lift height. Gas-tuned coil springs are engineered for the Ram 3500 gas platform’s front-end weight distribution. If your Ram 3500 does NOT have factory rear overload leaf springs, order SKU 1676FPE.

Overload Leaf Configuration — Critical Fitment Gate

The 2019–2026 Ram 3500 4WD gas was produced with and without factory rear overload leaf springs. BDS engineers separate kits for each configuration. Confirm your rear suspension configuration before ordering.

• With factory rear overload leaf (SKU 1677FPE — this listing)
• Without factory rear overload leaf — order SKU 1676FPE

4-Link Conversion — Why It Matters

• Geometry correction: Corrects front suspension geometry at 4-inch lift height
• Eliminates radius arm bind: 4-link design removes the bind inherent in the factory radius arm setup at lifted height
• Improved articulation: Greater suspension travel and articulation vs. radius arm conversion
• Caster correction: Maintains proper caster angle at 4-inch lift
