BDS 5.5-Inch 4-Link Lift Kit | Rear Air Ride | FOX 2.0 Shocks | Ram 3500 4WD Gas 2019–2026 | SKU: 1734FS

Is This for You?

This kit is for the 2019–2026 Ram 3500 4WD gas owner with factory rear air ride suspension who wants 5.5 inches of front lift via a 4-link conversion with FOX 2.0 damping. This kit is air ride-specific — it includes the brackets and components required to work with the factory rear air ride system. If your Ram 3500 does NOT have factory rear air ride, this is the wrong kit — see SKU 1686FPE (5.5-inch, FOX 2.5 PE, no air ride) or SKU 1687FPE (with overload leaf).

The Result

5.5 inches of front lift via a 4-link conversion on the Ram 3500 gas platform — corrected geometry, eliminated radius arm bind, improved articulation, and FOX 2.0 damping. The factory rear air ride system is retained and integrated with air ride-specific brackets. The truck sits aggressive, clears larger tires, and maintains consistent geometry under towing and hauling loads.

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.

Installation Warning

Application-specific. Confirm 2019–2026 Ram 3500 4WD gas WITH factory rear air ride before ordering. Without air ride — order SKU 1686FPE or 1687FPE. Does not fit diesel, 2WD, or 2018 and earlier Ram 3500. This product is non-returnable once installed.
