Is This for You?

This kit is for the 2019–2026 Ram 3500 4WD gas owner with the factory rear overload leaf spring who wants 4 inches of front lift at the NX2 Nitro entry-level price point. If you want FOX 2.0 instead, order SKU 1679FS. If you want FOX 2.5 PE, order SKU 1679FPE. If your Ram 3500 does NOT have the factory rear overload leaf, order SKU 1677FS (FOX 2.0) or SKU 1677FPE (FOX 2.5 PE) instead. If your Ram 3500 has factory rear air ride, order SKU 1723FS.

The Result

4 inches of front lift via a true 4-link conversion on the Ram 3500 gas platform — corrected geometry, eliminated radius arm bind, improved articulation, and NX2 Nitro damping at the lowest price point in the BDS Ram 3500 4-link lineup. The truck sits aggressive, clears larger tires, and maintains consistent geometry under towing and hauling loads with the overload leaf rear suspension intact.
