BDS 4-Inch 4-Link Lift Kit | FOX 2.5 Performance Elite | Ram 3500 4WD Gas 2019-2026 | No Rear Overload Leaf

BDS 4-Inch 4-Link Lift Kit | FOX 2.5 Performance Elite | Ram 3500 4WD Gas 2019–2026 | No Rear Overload Leaf | SKU: 1676FPE

The BDS 4-Inch 4-Link Lift Kit is a complete front lift system for 2019–2026 Ram 3500 4WD gas models without factory rear overload leaf springs, paired with FOX 2.5 Performance Elite external reservoir shocks. The 4-link front suspension conversion replaces the factory radius arm design — correcting geometry, improving caster, reducing bushing bind, and delivering consistent handling under load. Gas-tuned coil springs are engineered for the Ram 3500 gas platform. If your Ram 3500 has the factory rear overload leaf, order SKU 1677FPE.
