Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
A complete 4-inch suspension lift kit engineered specifically for the 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Power Wagon gas. BDS-engineered lower control arms are longer than stock to rotate the axle for proper alignment, paired with a relocation mounting bracket to flatten the upper control arm angle. Gas-specific progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs provide the 4-inch front lift. Forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket correct steering geometry. The rear uses progressive rate multi-leaf springs for a 4-inch rear lift with extended U-bolts — configured for the 3-1/2 inch axle. FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks front and rear. Clears up to 36-inch tires.
Before ordering: This kit is designed for the Dodge Ram 2500 Power Wagon only — it is not a general Ram 2500 kit. Gas engine only. You must measure your rear axle tube diameter before ordering — this kit is configured for the 3-1/2 inch axle. Two rear axle diameters exist on this generation Ram. Exhaust modification may be required to clear the front driveshaft at full suspension droop — confirm with your installer before scheduling. Welding equipment and a cut-off wheel are required specialty tools.

Critical Compatibility
- Power Wagon only: This kit is designed specifically for the Dodge Ram 2500 Power Wagon. It is not designed for standard Ram 2500 configurations.
- Gas engine only: Gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs are included.
- Rear axle measurement required — 3-1/2 inch axle configuration: Two rear axle diameters exist on this generation Ram. Measure your rear axle tube before ordering. The wrong axle selection results in an incompatible rear kit.
- Exhaust modification — conditional: Exhaust modification may be required to clear the front driveshaft at full suspension droop. Confirm with your installer before scheduling.
- Welding equipment required: Cut-off wheel or equivalent, grinder/sanding disc, and welding equipment are required specialty tools. Confirm installer capability before scheduling.
- 2008 model year only: For the 2006–2007 Power Wagon, see BDS1764FS (3-1/2 inch axle).
- ADAS recalibration: Required after installation. All recalibration costs are the owner's responsibility.
Installation Notes
Professional installation is strongly recommended. This kit is rated Moderate with an estimated installation time of 8 hours. Specialty tools required: cut-off wheel or equivalent, grinder/sanding disc, pitman arm puller, and welding equipment.
Verify before beginning:
- Rear axle tube diameter confirmed as 3-1/2 inch
- Confirm with installer whether exhaust modification is needed for driveshaft clearance at full droop
- Installer has welding equipment, cut-off wheel, and grinder
- ADAS recalibration appointment scheduled
Professional alignment is required after installation. Refer to the current BDS Suspension installation instructions for SKU BDS1767FS for complete procedures, torque specifications, and component-specific instructions.
The Obsidian Take
The BDS1767FS is the 2008-year-specific Power Wagon kit — the direct successor to BDS1764FS on the same gas Power Wagon platform. Same 4-inch front lift, same leaf spring rear at 4 inches on the 3-1/2 inch axle, same FOX 2.0 shocks, same 8-hour Moderate installation. The only year-specific differences are the coil spring application for the 2008 model and the absence of the steering gear box sector shaft check that applied to the 2006–2007 kit. Measure the rear axle, confirm welding equipment is on site, and have the installer check exhaust clearance at full droop before the driveshaft goes back in.

Common Questions
Is this kit compatible with standard Ram 2500 trucks?
No. This kit is engineered specifically for the Dodge Ram 2500 Power Wagon. It is not designed for standard Ram 2500 configurations.
What is the difference between BDS1767FS and BDS1764FS?
Model year only. BDS1767FS fits the 2008 Power Wagon. BDS1764FS fits the 2006–2007 Power Wagon. All other specifications — lift heights, rear option, axle size, shock option, and installation requirements — are identical.
Why do I need to measure my rear axle before ordering?
Two different rear axle tube diameters exist on this generation Ram. Ordering the wrong configuration produces an incompatible rear kit. Measure your axle tube before placing your order.
Is exhaust modification required?
BDS states that exhaust modification may be required to clear the front driveshaft at full suspension droop. This is a conditional requirement — confirm with your installer during the build process.
Does ADAS need to be recalibrated after installation?
Yes. All ADAS sensors require professional recalibration after installation. All recalibration costs are the owner's responsibility.
