BDS 4-Inch Lift Kit | FOX 2.0 Shocks | Leaf Springs | Ram 2500 Power Wagon 4WD Gas 2009–2013 | SKU: 1770FS

The BDS 1770FS is a 4-inch lift kit with FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks for the 2009–2013 Ram 2500 Power Wagon 4WD gas. Front lift is delivered via 2009–2013-specific Power Wagon coil springs and geometry-correct radius arm brackets engineered for the Dana 60 front axle. Rear lift is matched via replacement leaf springs. The factory electronic sway bar disconnect system is preserved at lifted height.

BDS engineers a separate kit for each Power Wagon generation because the suspension specifications differ between year ranges. The 2008 Power Wagon requires 1767FS. The 2005–2007 Power Wagon requires 1764FS. The components in this kit are specific to the 2009–2013 generation and are not interchangeable with adjacent year kits or with standard Ram 2500 lift kits.

Confirm your model year falls within 2009–2013 and that your Ram 2500 has the Power Wagon package before ordering. Text (469) 407-7538 if you need confirmation before purchasing.

Power Wagon Generation Reference — BDS Lift Kit By Year

Tire Clearance

At 4 inches of lift on the 2009–2013 Power Wagon platform, typical fitment runs 35–37-inch tires depending on wheel offset and backspacing. Confirm maximum tire diameter and wheel specifications with your wheel and tire supplier before ordering.

Installation Notes

Professional installation is required — Dana 60 and sway bar disconnect familiarity mandatory. The Power Wagon-specific lift requires a qualified suspension shop familiar with Dana 60 front axle geometry and the factory electronic sway bar disconnect system. Do not attempt DIY installation.

Full front-end alignment is mandatory after installation. Do not drive on public roads before alignment is completed.

Electronic sway bar disconnect verification is required after installation. The Power Wagon's factory electronic sway bar disconnect system must be verified operational at lifted height after installation before road or trail use.

Leaf spring break-in period. Allow new rear leaf springs to settle per BDS recommendations before aggressive off-road use.

Torque all fasteners to BDS specification. Torque specs are included in the BDS installation instructions. Do not estimate torque values.

FOX shock break-in period. Allow FOX 2.0 shocks to complete the manufacturer-recommended break-in period before aggressive off-road use.

The Obsidian Take

The BDS 1770FS is the correct kit for the 2009–2013 Ram 2500 Power Wagon owner who wants 4 inches of front and matched rear lift with FOX 2.0 damping — engineered specifically for the Dana 60 front axle geometry and factory electronic sway bar disconnect of the third-generation Power Wagon. Year-specific coil springs, Dana 60-specific radius arm brackets, replacement rear leaf springs, and FOX 2.0 damping in one box.

Note that this kit does not include a rear axle block — the rear lift on the 1770FS is delivered entirely via replacement leaf springs, unlike the 1764FS and 1767FS which pair leaf springs with a 3.5-inch axle block. If you see a kit on the 2009–2013 Power Wagon that includes an axle block, that is a different kit — confirm with (469) 407-7538) before ordering.

If your Power Wagon is a 2008, order 1767FS. If it is a 2005–2007, order 1764FS. If it is a 2014 or newer, text (469) 407-7538 to confirm the correct platform. If your Ram 2500 does not have the Power Wagon package, this kit's geometry-specific components are not the correct fit for the standard suspension architecture.

2009–2013, Power Wagon package confirmed, Dana 60, electronic sway bar disconnect — the 1770FS is the complete, generation-correct lift solution.

Common Questions

Why is the 2009–2013 Power Wagon a separate kit from the 2008 and 2005–2007?
BDS engineers year-specific Power Wagon kits because the suspension specifications differ across generations. Using the wrong year kit installs incorrect geometry correction for your axle — the spring rates, bracket geometry, and component specs are calibrated to each generation.

Does this kit include a rear axle block?
No. The 1770FS delivers rear lift via replacement leaf springs only — no axle block is included. This differs from the 1764FS and 1767FS, which pair replacement leaf springs with a 3.5-inch axle block. If your build requires an axle block configuration, text (469) 407-7538 to confirm the correct kit before ordering.

Will this kit work with the factory electronic sway bar disconnect?
Yes. This kit preserves the factory electronic sway bar disconnect system at lifted height. Verify that the sway bar disconnect functions correctly after installation before road or trail use.

Why can't I use a standard Ram 2500 lift kit on my Power Wagon?
The Power Wagon uses a Dana 60 front axle with different suspension geometry than the standard Ram 2500. The radius arm brackets and coil springs in this kit are engineered for Dana 60 geometry — standard Ram 2500 lift kits are not designed for Dana 60 mounting points and geometry correction requirements.

Does this kit lift the rear of the truck?
Yes. Front lift is via Power Wagon-specific coil springs and radius arm brackets. Rear lift is via replacement leaf springs — both included in this kit. No axle block is included.

Is this a DIY install?
No. The Power Wagon-specific lift requires a qualified suspension shop familiar with Dana 60 front axle geometry and the factory electronic sway bar disconnect system. Professional installation is required.

What tire size fits at 4-inch lift?
Typical fitment on the 2009–2013 Power Wagon at 4-inch lift runs 35–37-inch tires depending on wheel offset and backspacing. Confirm maximum tire diameter and wheel specs with your wheel and tire supplier before ordering.

What warranty does this kit carry?
BDS suspension components carry the BDS No-Fine-Print Warranty. FOX 2.0 shocks carry a FOX 1-year limited warranty.
