BDS 5.5-Inch Lift Kit | FOX 2.0 Shocks | Leaf Springs | Ram 3500 4WD Gas 2013–2018 | SKU: 1619FS

Is This for You?

This kit is for the 2013–2018 Ram 3500 4WD gas owner who wants 5.5 inches of front and rear lift via a coil spring and leaf spring system with FOX 2.0 damping. This is the DS-generation Ram 3500 gas platform. If you have a 2019 or newer Ram 3500, stop here — that is the DT platform, order SKU 1686FPE (no overload) or SKU 1687FPE (with overload). If you want FOX 2.5 PE shocks with radius arms instead of leaf springs, see SKU 2105FPE.

The Result

5.5 inches of front lift via gas-tuned coil springs and geometry-correct radius arm brackets, with matched rear lift via replacement leaf springs — all on the DS-generation Ram 3500 gas platform. The truck sits level and aggressive, clears larger tires, and maintains consistent geometry under towing and hauling loads. FOX 2.0 shocks deliver improved damping over factory at this lift height.

Wheel & Tire Fitment

At 5.5-inch front lift on the Ram 3500 gas platform, typical fitment runs 35–38-inch tires depending on wheel offset and backspacing. Confirm maximum tire diameter and wheel specs with your wheel/tire supplier before ordering.
